I don't crave processed sugar and it is easy to pass up. Go figure. That is not to say I don't still have a sweet tooth. I do. Way bad. Sunday, my baking day, I made the peanut butter cookies from twelve steps. With semisweet chocolate chips. And I really didn't feel that guilty when I ate 4. That's a bad habit, I know. But the fact I can turn down other sweets is AMAZING. I just made chocolate pudding with avocados. HELLO! This is my new best friend! And it's so full of healthy fat I really can't eat that much......it's filling!
I am cheating in a few ways........I chopped real finely some chocolate chips for my granola in the morning and eat a cup of granola with one tablespoon (I'm eating it with sprouts right?).........I put half the sugar in the Orange Julius I made for the kids today and had some....................... small things like that.
I'm finding I'm having a hard time fitting the green smoothie in the morning (or the Hot Pink Smoothie). I think it's because I have been so busy this week that after getting the kids fed and off to school I have to run to something else. For some reason it's just a heck of a lot easier to get the granola and sprouts down. I suppose that's OK. Salads are going OK. Could be better. With my husband out of town this week I get lazy and don't prepare anything.
That's pretty much my update. I'm doing pretty well with my goals and so proud that I have done so well turning down the processed sugars.................I'll nail this thing.
