I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to update the results of my first 30 day trial. The “trial” officially ended on March 12, 2009. My goal was to not eat cookies, candy, cakes, caffeine and to cut out products that contained high fructose corn syrup.
Overall I did well. I was able to resist temptation about 97% of the time which, if I were to give myself a letter grade, is still an A. As my reward, I bought my favorite candy bar. Yeah, I know, the gurus say we are not supposed to reward ourselves with food but, well, who cares? It was my first trial and for the most part I was successful.

So I ate the cupcakes on Wednesday (Feb 25). The crazy thing about it is, it was a completely conscious decision. I knew I could throw the cupcakes away or give them to my nieces and nephews but I decided to eat them. Even crazier was the fact that they tasted like cardboard. No lie.
I ate the first one and my taste buds were like, “Meh”. I didn’t really want to eat the second one but I did anyway and was left unimpressed and wondering what was so attractive about them in the first place. The answer was simply the fact that they were there to eat. If they hadn’t been in my line of vision, I probably would not have eaten them but they were there.
