I really was doing well with avoiding sugar. That's why I was upset about the starches. But yea, the past week I've allowed myself a sugar packet or two into my coffee. A little less water than usual. Just a little bit. But I'm finding the sugar carving creeping back. So I've got to re-dedicate myself and stop allowing myself the small slips because they seem to compound into worse things.

I cook most of what I eat, and when I can't, I'm choosing much more differently than in the past. Very little bread or potatoes. Soup, salad, lean meats... It's just extra frustrating when you know what you're doing and you're still allowing yourself to screw it up.

I pick up my new wheel next week. Hopefully the 36 spoke custom wheel stops my spoke snapping problem as of late and keeps me on the road.
