Motivated

Day 6 of the 21DSD:
Look what I got in today!

Hide ya kids, hide ya wife, hide ya husband... 'cause things are changing!

This morning I decided to give me beloved coffee another try. Last time I tried it, I gagged and tossed it in the sink because I could just not do unsweetened coffee. So, this morning I brewed my coffee and added coconut milk (canned - full fat), cinnamon, and vanilla extract. I stirred it forever, scared to taste it. Finally, when my coffee was almost cold, I mustered the courage to take a sip, and BAM! It didn't taste rancid to me, it tasted almost as good as before. Almost, being the keyword. I actually enjoyed my cup of coffee enough to drink the full cup. I realize some people are not coffee drinkers, but for those of us who don't need it, but seriously just enjoy a good cup of coffee - this was major for me! A good cup of coffee will make you feel like everything will be okay. As if you can face any challenge the day brings. So cheers to me fellow coffee drinkers, this beech is back!

Another interesting game changer today, cucumbers! I already loved cucumbers before, but even more so now. They taste sweet to me. Sweet! I had the best cucumber of my life today. I don't know if maybe it literally was the best cucumber ever or if my taste buds are adjusting to trick my mind into thinking it is sweet, but I don't even care! My sweet craving was satisfied with that wonderful green vegetable. Who knew?

Dinner!
Achievement: My family went out to dinner and while everyone around me was eating chips & salsa, fajitas, and taco's. I restrained myself from grabbing "just one chip". It was a very big temptation, as I love, love, love mexican food. Whoop! Willpower baby, yeah! (Austin Powers voice)
