Dazed and Confused about Day One

Wow, this has been an interesting day to say the least. I started off by pouring my normal bowl of sultana bran, then I removed all of the sultanas before I added my full cream milk (it felt decadent and naughty but I am told I'll eventually get over that and just enjoy it as my regular milk.)
 
Then the dilemma hit. What in the hell am I going to put in the lunch boxes???  This revelation only hit me at 7.30 this morning, and I admit I struggled. I struggled because I am not organised to know what I can put in the lunches now that all fruit, muesli bars, yogurts and most other prepared snacks, along with my normal range of home baked muffins etc are out of the picture. So a salami and cheese sandwich was coupled by the last three full fat yogurts I had in the fridge and some rice crackers with cheddar cheese. A very starchy lunch, I concur, but it's the best I could do today.
 
Then I left my lunch on the table as I rushed out the door.  Thankfully, Rosie, the lovely canteen lady at our school can whip me up a sandwich or the like and put it on credit for me...so I had a lovely wrap with chicken and veggies (no tomato and no sauces like bbq or sweet chilli, both of which I really enjoy.)  Open up the wrap and realise I have forgotten all about not eating tinned beetroot (or pickled beets as we call them in Canukestan - aka Canada) so next time I will order it sans beetroot...oh and the next time I call into the supermarket I better check the sugar level in wraps too...so much to remember.
 
Then I got out of work late, which forced my walking partner, Sophie, to head off without me. By the time I got home she was just finishing her walk so off I trudged on my own...and managed two laps before sharp shooting pains along the outsides of my calves toppled me to the ground, so I headed home.
 
Then I got ready to cook dinner. Oh FRAG! I forgot to take anything out of the freezer, the kids are circling and I can see them eyeing off the bag of goodies I have packaged up to go to a friend (all the sugary things left in our cupboards.) I hand them each a row of rice crackers, whip up some eggs and toast and voila, dinner is saved!
 
Choosing to look at life as a balance sheet...
On the positive side:

• We didn't eat sugar today
• No one died
• We did exercise...a bit

On the negative side:

• I'm no better organised for lunches tomorrow
• Not feeling the health benefits, but it's only day one
• I did not touch a SINGLE chocolate or biscuit in the staffroom today, even though I was starving.

Goals for tomorrow:

• Don't eat sugar
• Exercise, even if it's just a walk around the oval while on yard duty
• Get 'food' organised
• Don't start every paragraph in my blog post with "Then"
