I had my egg whites and my 100% whole wheat bread for breakfast and everthing was cool. I was all, I can do this!! But while I was eating my black-eyed pea soup for lunch and purusing the ingredients list on the bag, I discovered to my dismay that sugar is one of those ingredients. Drats! So, it appears if I am to avoid sugar in its unnatural form completely, I have to find bread that has no sugar or forgo bread completely. A well intentioned friend at work mentioned Ezekiel Bread that is sold in the health food section of some supermarkets. I have seen and tasted this bread and while it is not terrible, it will be a cold day in hell when I spend $5 on a loaf of bread. Not gonna do it...wouldn't be prudent, ha! What to do, what to do...
I didn't exactly exercise, but I did work in the garden for an hour. Dinner was lefovers from the semi-lowfat eggplant parmesan that I made yesterday. Feeling ecstatic that I didn't have to cook, I sat down to my meal. Only that's when I realized that the breadcrumbs I used for the eggplant are made with white bread that more than likely has sugar as well. Hrmph! And yes, I ate it anyway...but I didn't enjoy it quite as much...
I may have to tweak this thing a bit. I don't eat that much bread anyway so if I do have some here and there, is that cheating on my 30-day challenge? I don't know. In the words of Scarlett O'Hara, I think about that tomorrow.
