Temptation? A giant billboard of a Magnum Equador, I'm not sure what flavour that is but I nearly fell off my bike rubber-necking at it!
Mood: Very good
Notes: I've been trying to keep my fruit consumption down to 3 portions a day. I went over that today, the mango last thing was delicious. This might sound a little strange, as people are always harping on about getting "5 a day", remember that this includes vegetables (of which we don't consume nearly enough of). Fruit consumption is worth being aware of as it generally has a high 'GI value' - meaning it will raise your blood sugar levels quickly, so you have a smaller window to utilise this as energy and are more likely to store it as fat. Fruit juices are even worse, a single serving of apple juice contains the juice of roughly 4 apples - when was the last time you sat down and ate 4 apples one after the other? This is a huge blood sugar hit and NOT a great way to start your day!
I ate on 9 different occasions today, I was working from home for much of the day so this just confirms what I wrote about yesterday!
