Saturday morning crumpet

It's Saturday morning, I've been to boxing, I've had a shower and now I'm eating a crumpet. I always forget how delicious crumpets are.  What I should be doing, of course, is tucking into some poached eggs and a protein shake to fuel my broken muscles but, you know....crumpets. I'm not sure I should be …

Eye debris and weight loss frustration

I've got a little while before I start work so, seeing as I just paid to renew my blog domain name, I thought I'd whack out a short post. I have now been sugar-free for three weeks and three days. Let me just remind you that this includes banning the following: actual sugar the usual suspects …

Coconut milk yoghurt and self-reflection

According to Christian tradition, Lent should be a time of quiet self-reflection and prayer. With this in mind, I decided to turn my metaphorical gaze inwards - and in doing so, I found a dark, empty space. A dark, empty space about the size and shape of a 500g bar of Galaxy chocolate. All the blogs said giving …

My body the fat sponge

I'm taking a quick break from novel writing (it's going terribly, by the way) to update you on this year's sugar-free Lent challenge. I'm 1.5 weeks in and I've hit a plateau. This week was my 'time of month' (I don't know why we call it this. It sounds like it should be the highlight of the …

Sugar-free life tastes like freedom

I feel like I've had an epiphany. It's like the time I figured out where we go when we die (our brains are just transmitters picking up signals from a remote life source, and our 'selves' aren't really present in our bodies like we've always thought, but powered remotely from one single immense energy source …

Life without sugar is pretty sweet

Day one of my ban on sugar is over. So far, I'm absolutely fine. I'm still alive, still sort of plump. I haven't descended into a shaking, sweating, angry mess yet.  After reading extensively about the effects of giving up sugar I was actually expecting something a bit more interesting than this. People report headaches, …

Six weeks without sugar

So this is how it ends. This is goodbye. After all the good times we shared together - the romantic dinners, the wild nights when you got me drunk (you always looked irresistible in toxic blue), the cosy evenings in on the sofa with duvets and films, the times you cheered me up when I was …
