How's it going?

hello blogger world!

It's a rainy Sunday morning here in Southern California and life has been busy. I started a reboot two weeks ago that failed this week due to SO many receptions at work. The end of the semester is so tough on my eating habits due to catering's amazing gluten free cookies. I have zero willpower against them. Most of all, they perfected the recipe in part because of me so I feel guilty not enjoying one. But I'm going to start the reboot again soon.

I didn't post about the reboot so here's a recap:  Two weeks ago one of us decided they were going to partake in the 21-day superhero challenge and the other is going to do a whole 30 type deal but not so strict. This was a decision I made while in the grocery store two weekends ago. I was feeling very much like I need a reboot in terms of food and what better time than now? I bought the staples because that's easy. And I'm trying to not stress myself out by being super strict with myself while adhering to the rules of whole 30. The reboot is more about getting back on track than losing weight. I've been SUPER lax about my diet because PHD and hectic work/life. When I had my three hour class this past term, I indulged with frozen gluten free pizza. Well, I started seeing and feeling those effects. I really needed to cut out sugar and I started when I cut out coffee because I was adding refined sugar to my cups. But we now know I got off track and will start again soon!

This morning, after a night of friends, graduation, and some alcohol, I woke up feeling like this rainy day really needed some coffee. I've been without it for six weeks and I felt like I could try to reintroduce it into my system but not at the levels I was drinking it. I'm sitting here enjoying some cold brew with some coconut milk creamer. I have never had Califa cold brew so I thought I'd give it a go. Check it out! It's SUPER smooth and tastes perfect. My anxiety isn't spiked and I'm not even sure my heart rate is increased. When I introduced sugar while doing my reboot, it was obvious that I had had sugar because my heart rate was through the roof! Then I crashed. I'm pretty excited that this coffee hasn't spiked anything and I'm feeling good.

The cold brew is high quality and I think if I had tried something like dunkin donuts or starbucks, I would've been screwed. I'm glad I went with a high quality cold brew to try it out!  The coconut milk creamer is by SO delicious and it is SO delicious.  I forgot how yummy it is!

This is kind of the perfect Sunday. I'm listening to Alabama Shakes, drinking coffee, listening to the rain with a cat attacking me with love (literally he's biting me when I stop petting him).

I'm off to do some reading for class. :) Thanks for reading! I'll update again soon!

Hugs!
