I’ll get to my preoccupation with sugar later on in the blog.

So this morning I got to the gym and it opened early!!! Yeeeaaayyyyy it was the “nice” manager who always opens the doors at 6:55am, not 7am on the dot like the other 3. Got on my crosstrainer and got about 10 minutes into my intended 25 minute session, when this little man decided to get on the squeeky crosstrainer in front of me. He got started, heard it giving off an almighty noise, and kept going on it!!! There were at least 7 other available, non-squeeky ones, but he kept going on that one. I was tired…. and easily annoyed, so I couldnt keep going for the rest of the 15 minutes left on mine, so I left it and did sprints on the treadmill for 25 minutes and then the bike at high resistance for another 15 minutes instead. My legs felt like jelly when I got off the bike… great feeling! I’ve another gym running session on the cards for after work. A girl I’m doing the 5mile run with on Saturday asked me to run with her this evening, so it’s looking like another 30 - 50 minutes of running ahead of me! But it’s all good!

So back to the sugar….. my housemate came back from Edinburgh on Monday, and brought with her a small box of scottish toffees for yours truely. I didnt touch them on Monday, had 6 last night, and 3 when I went home for dinner this afternoon. They are gorgeous vanilla soft fudge… and after one, you just want more, and more, and more. The fact that I stopped at 3 today is something. Isnt it funny how a bit of sugar can nearly drive you demented? Even now, I’m just thinking of how the fudge tastes and feels in my mouth….. cue my Homer moment.

So, when I get home from work, the 1st thing I’m doing is discretely dumping the rest of the fudge. It’s too dangerous for me to have it in the house. And you wouldnt mind, but I told this girl that I was starting the 5 Factor Diet on Monday.

Darn sugar………… I cant do without it…… but I can do with it in moderation. Just not fudge. I cant do that in moderation……….
