So yesterday was actually day three, however, I wanted to go to bed at 10:30 when I had the time to type so here I am.
It was a good day. I didn't have time to really eat at breakfast but I had cut up watermelon for the boys' lunch (with two slices of sourdough.....feels like a success to me!) and snacked on that here and there until lunch.
For lunch I had 3/4 C Robyn's Granola with about 1.5 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips (naughty me!) and almond milk. All I can say is YUM! I wouldn't necessarily say I like the almond milk alone but in the granola (with the chocolate of course!) it was so. stinkin'. good!
For dinner I made the basic salad and homemade ranch dressing with the vegetarian chili and a slice of multi-grain bread with almond butter. Oh MY!! SO! Good! I couldn't stop eating the chili! Only one of my children tried it- he liked it but preferred the bread instead. (I've really got to figure out the homemade whole wheat sourdough bread! My children LOVE sourdough) And the dressing! WOW!!!
Afterwards I really wanted something sweet. I'm taking babysteps here OK? HAD to have something............and succumbed to one serving (15 pieces) of dark chocolate covered coconut almonds. And guess what? I felt SICK TO MY STOMACH after eating it. In all honesty, all the whole grain, greens, salads, etc., are not a problem or me. I've been eating it really for a while now but sugar is my addiction and my enemy. I really, really struggle with my desires to have sugar and I'm hoping that by adapting 100% to the 80% raw lifestyle thing that my cravings for it will eventually go away. (or I"ll just stop eating it because I feel so crappy when I do- that hasn't really happened yet). On the upside- I did not bake today. AS much as I wanted! IT was COLD today- and I relate that to warm baked goods (primarily cookies). I wanted to bake. But I resisted and stayed busy.
So all in all, the day was truly a success! Yay! The food was delicious and I look forward to trying more of the recipes. I'm not neccessarily doing the 8-week program page per page by the book (the chili was the previous night's dinner) but I am subbing some things with others. WooHoo!
