Last night The Boy made a few very bold pledges, which I’m personally sure he will regret very soon. I’d like to clarify that these are promises he made to himself – they weren’t demanded by me in any way, shape or form.
He said that he was going to:
1. Eat no sugar until February 2007 (meaning adding no sugar to his coffee, no cake, sweets etc).
2. Drink no alcohol until February 2007.
3. Drink no more than 4 cups of coffee per week until February 2007.
I’ve seen him go alcohol-free for a couple of months before, so I don’t think that is really the difficult promise (although there is still the rest of the World Cup, his birthday, Xmas and New Year to get through before February 2007).
The real problem will be the coffee. This is a guy who drinks 4-5 cups per day (at least one of which is usually a 4 shot flat white) saying he can reduce to 4 cups per week. Hmmm… no, sorry Boy, I don’t think so. Especially when you’re already on your 2nd cup today, and its only 11 am.

oh yeah? watch this space...
don't worry, we will be...
Good on him. Yes we will all be watching, PJ - keep his progress tracked on this site, once he knows the world is watching he will keep to it. Unfortunately everything has sugar in it - unless he goes for protein only foods, which leaves him with meats, eggs and veges (even fruit bares the evil sugar!). Now we are talking more on the lines of the Atkens Diet. I say Good on him, that is, if he sticks to it.
He isn't going 100% sugar free, so is still eating things like bread which do have a small amount of sugar in them. The idea is to avoid sweets, cakes etc and to avoid adding sugar himself to things like coffee :o)
