Day 6 and Pancake Day

So have managed to get to day 6 of having no sugar which as those people who know me is amazing, specially when you consider how much sweets and snacks I would eat on a day to day basis. Yesterday was a massive challenge for me as I spent the day at our head office on a course and with other managers who I do not know and do not know about this crazy challenge. What do I find when I arrive a tray full of muffins and other nice things which are all packed with so much sugar and to top it all off the group head baraista was there as well making coffees and hot chocolates for everyone as it was very cold in the bar which we were doing our course and I love hot chocolate in the morning.

I some how managed to survive the day and get home with out having anything I shouldn't, yeh for me. For dinner I had a piece of pan fried chicken with a whole lot of boiled vegetables in a tomato based sauce. Then chill out for the evening watching movies as have the following day off.

After a nice long line in, had a good brunch seems strange I am now actually getting to enjoy having muesli with yoghurt and banana in the morning and it keeps me filled up. Of course also have a couple of slices of toast with cheese, or some bacon as cooked up some for the day. Then I either make a smoothie or have some pineapple juice (which qualifies as no added sugars).

Spent sometime in the morning researching if I could make pancakes using whole meal flour and with out sugar, in the end managed to find a recipe(2nd one down). So please as I have missed this day out so often while traveling, so headed off to the shops for some more food also running out of fruit.

One thing which I had decided to get was some Spirulina which Alex had raved about while I was in Sweden, I had done some research into it and it seems to be one of these super foods (or super algae) a lot like others I had tried in Australia and South America. So found my local health shop and was able to get a bag of Spirulina and I also got hold of some soya meat as well. This was something we used to use while I was living in the jungle of Bolivia and enjoyed. I have bought back a couple of recipes so have been trying to get hold some of this for a while.

This evening my big thing was going to be pancakes, so had my main meal then came too make the batter for the pancakes. This was where things didn't go so well after mixing it all it did not look anything like pancake batter I know, this most likely due to the lack of measuring equipment on my part and me not quite using the right ingredients for it all, so that was chucked in the bin, leaving me wanting some chocolate as I was annoyed and had been looking forward to pancakes. Instead some dried fruit was found and loud music played to calm the mind down. Never mind will give it another go on Friday when I am next off work and go shopping to get measuring stuff.
