Day 9

Yep, it's still me and I'm still a Sugar Addict. I've made it 9 days now and no desserts, sweets or treats.

Last night I turned down dessert that came with my meal (as well as the free glass of wine that did too - but see Day 6 as to why that's so not a big deal). I'm starting to think this is a little easier than I anticipated it being. I think it's easier to abstain than to moderate yourself. I still have 24 days to go but I have no idea what will happen after this. I'm interested to see where this experiment leads. Do I: A) continue to abstain, B) make some attempt at moderation again C) take it to a new level and include other sugar sources? I'm pretty sure it's not going to be C, A doesn't sound like much fun and B sounds like a recipe for disaster.

On the fitness front I didn't work out at all - unless you consider a whole heap load of housecleaning. I missed track practice to take a friend out for dinner for her birthday and I'm thinking at this point I'm not going to make this one up - give my legs a little recovery and pick it back up next week. Still have my long run/short bike planned for Saturday. Today (Day 10) I skipped spin class, which I love and hold sacred - but in exchange for my first attempt at my gym's outdoor group ride. I got a sitter and Jay's coming too. But I'm a little nervous, less for how I'll do since I've never done a group ride, but more because I sacrificed spin class and it's looking a little like rain.
