Day Two!!

day two is almost done... but sadly this is the hardest time of day for me.  I want my nightly bowl of icecream, especially because my throat hurts and i think the icecream would be soothing. : )

i'll cut straight to the chase: Lessons learned today!

• pack more food!  because i'm not getting 200 calories from chocolate and doughnuts - i'm hungry!  really hungry!
• meal, snack, meal, snack, meal, snack.  yes that is necessary!
• pickles really do cut the sugar craving. go figure!
• gum. gum is good.  i wonder? could there be a gum made to combat the craving of every addiction? nicorette, chocolatette? popette? crackette? haha!
• spicy thai tuna is okay... as long as i keep repeating the mantra "this is NOT cat food. this i people food"
• drink more water

seriously though, I don't know how Carly does it.  I had to ask her today for advice on what to pack to eat.  She said - cottage cheese, cheese, snap peas, carrots, and she reminded me the DQ has these sugar free fudge bars!  they are made for diabetics and actually taste good.  how could i have forgotton these!?!

been a good day! and i've gotten $220 in pledges for Diabetes Canada!
