Post Reboot Update



So for those of you that followed our little Fruit and veggie reboot I wanted to update you on how we are doing now two weeks later.  Because I'm sure that's all you've been thinking about right? What have we been eating? Well worry no more! I'm here to tell you!! :)

Anyway I really wanted to update yall because I think it's really incredible how after just 5 days on the reboot our tastes and cravings have changed dramatically.  Before, while we were eating a fairly healthy diet, I would still crave fast food like Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A, Pizza! And not to mention my crazy bad sweet tooth mouth....  After dinners Jeremy and I would absolutely have to have some sort of dessert.  Ice cream, candy, whatever. 

Now, we crave veggies. fruit.  The good stuff.  I want a refreshing juice blend instead of a soda.  We've been eating meals that are made up of veggies and feeling completely satisfied.  During the reboot it felt like something was lacking from our diets, I didnt feel satisfied, I wanted cheese, whole grain, milk, yogurt!! Now that those are back in our diets along with the major amounts of fruits and veggies we feel great! And yes even Caden eats everything I've put in front of him.  He even is eating raw broccoli if you can believe that!! I'm always sure that he's going to turn his nose up at something because he normally doesnt like tomatoes, or carrots, or peas! But now he has eaten all those things and more without a fuss.  I'm convinced it's because I've been making him his own little fruit and veggie juices.  They taste more like fruit juice to him because of the apples I include, but perhaps it's allowing his taste buds to adapt to the veggies that are in there without him knowing it! Whatever it is. It's working and I LOVE IT. 

I dont get that bloated feeling anymore like I sometimes do depending on what heavy foods I ate that day.  I feel leaner and healthier and more vibrant.  Now I still indulge in some sweets, and I have had some soda but those kinds of foods are no longer something I crave.  I could live without it.  But I'm not banishing it from our diets because that's when it becomes so much more appealing! I just know and can feel the difference from when we eat fresh and when we dont.  I recognize if I didnt get enough veggies that day. 

So if you were considering trying it out for yourself I highly recommend it.  Join the Reboot .  Get healthy, feel healthy!
