Sweet, tart, tangy, juicy, it was a taste explosion in my mouth!
I felt validated that the last 7 days with no sugar (including fruit) was worth it. It wasn't even the freshest, crispest apple ever, (such as the organic pink lady apples that we used to get at the Liberty, NY farmer's market- whoa....) it had been in our fridge for at least a couple of weeks, was kinda bruised, and was even warm from sitting in the car for an hour while I was doing mytorture Pilates session. But it was satisfying! It was wonderful! I can hardly wait to have another one....tomorrow.
I imagine that I gave all the "sweet" receptors in my tongue (or are they in my brain?) a chance to re-sensitize. I know something like this happens, (even if I don't know the physiology of it,) because a green apple, which would normally taste really tart (or even sour-ish) to me was a really sweet taste. At this point, I think that going for that "pumpkin spice latte" would throw me into sugar shock. As it was, I got a little bit of a headache right after eating the apple. I could practically feel the sugar rushing through my bloodstream.
Other stuff I consumed today:
coffee w/ unsweetened chocolate soy milk (even yummier than the choco-chai!)
quinoa and black bean salad
blackened tofu
some rice cakes
a whole avocado
almonds
I'll plan to get more leafy greens tomorrow. A big salad sounds fabulous! Actually, if anyone wants to meet me for lunch tomorrow, send me a private message on Facebook. I'll be up near University/75 around 12 or 12:30 and I know a great place to go, and they even have sugar free salad dressings!
Namaste,
Cheryl
