Woo hoo.....survived Day 2!!!!

seriously, it has been a bit easier than i thought it would be!  i have to admit though, that grocery shopping today took a bit longer that it normally did, and i was quite surprised at how "healthy" my trolley looked when i got to the checkout :)

Have you ever got to the checkout and sneakily looked at the trolley contents of the person in front of you!  I was quite shocked with what i saw today!  The couple in front of me had about 20 sausage rolls, 4 packets of biscuits, ice-cream, chocolate, chips, softdrink by the carton full............!

I took the time today to look at all the labels on the food and work out what was good and bad!  i was so surprised at the amount of sugar that is in some foods!  It really pays to check things out!

There is a facebook page called I Quit Sugar, which has daily updates, hints and tips.  One that i saw today is for the following!  I actually did find these at Woolies, and will be trying one tomorrow :)

As shared on Facebook:

For those that are looking for a snack which has no sugar, these bars are available in Coles and Woolies! There are one or two fruit-free ones out there BUT THEN THEY'RE SWEETENED WITH HONEY. These ones are sweetened with rice malt syrup and I double checked with Food for Health this week that the sugar content written on the label is only glucose and maltose (fructose-free). It is! Mission complete.

I will let you all know how they taste :)

Make sure to drink lots of water.  I try to drink at least 2 litres a day.  Doesn't always work, but try your best.

So...... tomorrow is another day! getting closer to the weekend and a tradition in my house of having the girls over for a few wines and nibbles on Friday night :)

These nights really are good for my soul, and makes things all worth while....... 

Good luck and take care.  I will be back sometime on the weekend with some more updates.
