My Sugar Free Year - Day 7

Day 7
 
Remember when I mentioned (Day 3 post) that dried fruit was okay as long as it didn’t have added sugar?  We’ll I seldom eat dried fruit because even though it is fruit, the sugars when dried are concentrated.  When I do eat dried fruit, I’m conscious to have a very small portion and savor it.  Yesterday, after lunch, around 3:30, I had a craving for something sweet and broke out the dates.  Ooh, that hit the spot.  I had a few with a tiny bit of no-sugar added almond butter.  What a great snack! 
 
A few of you asked how my first restaurant meal out was since starting My Sugar Free Year adventure last Wednesday.  It really worked out fine.  I ordered a salad with arugula, heirloom tomatoes, avocado, and grilled salmon.  I told the waiter no lemon vinaigrette, and no balsamic reduction, and please tell the chef no sugar at all.  Water to drink. It was perfect.
 
Wonder what I will discover today?
 
Onward!
