I had a very disturbed night. My own fault, after 21 days of as little to no sugar I gave in and had two chocolate biscuits that Charlotte bought from Dorothy. They weren't even worth it if I'm honest. I felt the rush of sugar, and it made my heart beat faster. It resulted in a dry mouth, a couple of trips to the loo and a bit of a headache once I got up. I know now somewhat of what a hit of a drug must feel like after going cold turkey! I'm obviously a sugar addict!
So, I got up at 8am did my stretches and 45 minutes on the treadmill, hoping to squash the sugar craving "hangover" I was feeling. I had breakfast and some "courage" tea, fed Willow, and then went for a pamper session, shower deforestation ( shave, if you are unfamiliar with my vocabulary) face and foot mask, body lotion, and foot cream to finish off. I felt much better after that, hopefully I will learn a lesson from this and start the sugar detox again. Sometimes I am my own worst enemy.
While I was on the treadmill I put one of those woodland walks on again. Very pretty, and quite calming, I'm so glad people have gimbals so that they can film these places, they are good to have on when you just want to chill, read or workout.
I was thinking this morning as you do, dangerous hobby! I buy a lot of my diabetic foods online, my bread, bagels, fitbake bars to name a few. Wouldn't it be great if there were actual shops that was like a one-stop place for everything diabetic friendly. Given how many people are type one and two in this country you'd think it would be a winner for someone. Yes, health food places stock the odd thing but, don't have a whole section that you could go to and find everything you need in one area. They do gluten free in most supermarkets, some better than others but, low sugar low carb is almost non existent.
As I say, you can get most of it online, with subscription offers etc, but all come with p&p unless you buy in bulk, which I can't do in most cases as we only have limited storage.
Thankfully, I do have Kev who will try to adapt most recipes to suit, when he has time, or can be bothered, which I do understand. On my weekends here alone with Willow I do opt for something I can put together myself, chia pudding (maximum two days a week or it triggers my diverticulitis) low carb bagel with peanut butter and his homemade chia jam, which is bloody lovely, again though, too much and my gut kicks off. I suppose its a first world problem in the end, it is because we all want convenient food that is why food intolerance and diseases like diabetes is on the rise. I've even read that they are finding more "types" of diabetes, bloody hell, can you imagine how many people they could affect. Scary.
