I am back off sugar.  I had a few days of eat­ing with­out wor­ry­ing about sugar con­tent.  It was nice to not have to think about every­thing before I put it on my plate.  It was also nice to drink a latte and a mocha.  Yes, I did say *and*.  I had a latte and a mocha in my 2 days on sugar. 

Unfor­tu­nately, I felt (and still feel) pretty bad.  I felt more tired again.  I felt like I had a harder time get­ting my words to come out like I wanted them, and the yummy treats I had dreamed of hurt my stom­ach.  They also didn’t taste as good as I had remem­bered.  I have com­mit­ted to another 3.5 weeks with­out sugar (except for my Christ­mas party on the 11th, Nicki is bring­ing a world famous cheese­cake).  I decided that I needed to con­tinue elim­i­nat­ing sugar (par­tic­u­larly in between hol­i­days) until I no longer looked for­ward to the hol­i­day as an excuse to go all out.

I think the only thing I am really miss­ing is a good way to make my steel cut oats in the morn­ing.  Frozen fruit tends to be a lit­tle sour in there, and I need some­thing to give it a lit­tle bit of taste other than the oats taste.  Any thoughts?  Oh, and I don’t like bananas very well.
