Hallelujah oh my stars yaay! Yesterday, after
three months of detoxing, two of which have been completely sugar free, I have been officially granted permission to add fruit back into my diet. Still no grains or refined sugar, but I don't.even.care. I'm so stinking excited to eat fruit again. I can't think of a better way to kick-start the most fabulous month of March.
A funny thing happened during the course of my sugar freeness. My taste buds have changed completely. Things like natural peanut butter (just nuts+salt) taste sweet. My
Reginald's cashew butter tastes like absolute candy. Once an exclusive
Riesling and White Zin drinker, now I opt for the slightly dryer Pinot.
I feel weirdly dramatic saying this, but I almost can't imagine what it'll taste like when I try
ice cream and
chocolate milk (my two obsessions pre-detox) again. Will I still like them? Will I be able to add
sprinkles to my
froyo? Or will it be too much? (Seriously.)
Last night after leaving the doctor's office, I bee-lined for Whole Foods to stock up on fruit. Upon arriving, I got so overwhelmed with options that I walked out with only bananas. There were too many options! So much potential! Fight or flight at its finest.
I can't wait to jazz up my
smoothie regimen, eat Greek yogurt with fruit, and, oh my gosh, have a banana with peanut butter for breakfast. Cloud nining to the max!
I hope your Thursday is equally as exciting as mine. Even if it's the little things, like tiny baby blueberries. Nom!
PS: Best
Leap Day ever.
