Day 21, new routines

Today will mark 3 weeks without refined sugar. I'm so grateful I kept going when it got hard. It truly is worth the effort. I have been cooking a lot and dislike it less than I used to because I know it nourishes me and my husband. I am proud to cook fresh meals from scratch for us. And I have now gotten into a rhythm where I pick out 3 recipes and get all of the ingredients on Sunday, so I don't have to grocery shop and cook on a weeknight. 

Yesterday I made some homemade LaraBars, or as my husband calls them, AmandaBites. I'm excited about this batch because they taste just like the zucchini bread as I remember it. Just dates, pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg. So simple, yet so delicious! I can't wait to have one today! I haven't had sassy water in a while, but am bringing it back (slightly modified) today. 

I now have a new set of routines and rituals that I quite enjoy and am not feeling sorry for myself or deprived in any way! So bring it, week 4!
