Excuses, excuses

I've been a bit lax with the ol' posting, haven't I? Had best make up for this turn of events.

To sum up caffeine-free April: caffeine is in a surprising number of things which only made me want them more. The week I got back on the Diet Coke was my most productive at work in some time. Seriously, I did 42 reports in ONE DAY. That is huge, just so you know.

Then I moved on to Sugar for May. I enforced a personal bann on all added sugar. I was allowed back on the beers but cakes, chocolate and all their partners in deliciousness were out of bounds. I slipped up once, on which I blame alcohol. Industry awards show + winning (twice - yes, we are that good!) + celebratory drinks + more drinking = accepting vodka, lemon lime because the boss bought it. So, in short, alcohol does not contribute to a winning formula.

I think I served some serious pennance by baking the world's largest overcatering spread for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea and not getting to eat any of it. Though, I admit I did save some white chocolate and macadamia caramel slice for the first day of June. We raised $570 for the Cancer Council too so I think I made up for it.

Was sugar worth it? Well, given my family's history of diabetes combined with my sweet tooth it could be a very real possibility. It did give me a new appreciation for savouries but I like my choccy, what can I say? It has been slightly overwhelming being able to eat it again, but I'll cover that in another post.
