Week 2: Tracey's Paleo update

Prior to starting this experiment, Johnny mentioned that sweets would eventually taste different and that eventually I would crave a bowl of strawberries in place of dessert.  Well, I’d say he’s a little right so far:)  Yesterday I had a taste of Emma’s chocolate cookie from starbucks – one of my favorite treats . . .Solely for the sake of testing the above statement, I had a small bite.  It definitely tasted different.  It tasted very sweet and very buttery.  Previously this indulgence simply tasted good.  I wouldn’t have allowed myself to have any more of it anyway but don’t think I can say that the difference in taste would have prevented me from doing so.  Anyway, I consider this progress as I believe my body is beginning to adapt to the decrease in sugar in my life.  My other self reflection now that I’m actually spending time thinking about what to eat is that I crave food kind of for something to do.  I don’t eat a lot but I definitely eat more frequently than my body probably requires.  For the time being, I’m simply noting this as an observation but may add to my experiment down the road to address this behavior. Water consumption is still hit or miss so will be working on that.  Oh, and I’ve actually come to enjoy my americano – who’d of thought . . .
