Thanks to Bob Harper's "The Skinny Rules: The Simple Non-Negotiable Principles For Getting To Thin," I have opted out of adding Splenda to my daily coffee, and I have to be honest... this is going to take some getting used to. I LOVE coffee! I love the smell and taste of a great blend and just the overall comfort it brings to my morning schedule.
Prior to the Skinny Rules, I would add some unsweetened almond milk and two Splenda packets to my coffee. I made the transition from creamer to almond milk, because I discovered that creamer was not sitting well with my stomach and it never failed that after I finished my coffee, I would end up in the restroom. Almond milk doesn't make it as creamy as I used to like it, but the Splenda at least made it sweet and enjoyable.
My first taste of coffee sans sweetener was like a bitter slap in the face, but I was determined to turn the other cheek. Now that I know what to expect, it's not too bad, but it's definitely an adjustment. Today's blend was more of a punch in the face thanks to the IT guy's heavy hand with the coffee grounds and the "KAPOW" that is the Starbucks Bold blend. Gooooooooood Mooooooooorning!!!!
