my headache has receded, it's still floating about but is very much in the background and isn't stopping me from concentrating, so hopefully that's caffeine cold turkey phase over. i was hungry again today, despite the heavy nut dinner we'd had. but still trying not to graze. if i can do breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, with gaps in between, then i'll start cutting out completely or reducing the amount i eat for my snacks. sounds easy.
food diary
mango
apple, dates, few nuts
little bit of the pate, hummus & flax crackers from yesterday, spinach & romaine salad with tomatoes, fresh corn, lemon and oil dressing (less oil than usual) no seeds
cucumber soup and almond & carrot scones (i made the pate into little rounds and dehydrated for just over 8 hours - truly yummy)
one square raw chocolate
i often read other raw blogs and think 'why would anyone want to read everything some total stranger ate on a day-by-day basis?' but then i think back to when i first started out, way before the blog was born, and i think it would have been useful to see the immense variety of food intake, recipes etc that raw foodies eat. so for those of you who find this boring: skip it, it's easy. it's for me to keep track and those n00b raw foodies out there who might find it useful.
work today was great until just gone 11 when it all went to the dogs for a while and got me extremely riled. but i regrounded myself eventually after venting with a friend, and the rest of the day passed by so smoothly. a colleague said at the end of the day - she gave me a lift home - that my weekend retreat must have really worked because despite the midday chaos i was an oasis of calm. heh. not how i would ever describe myself! but i thought about it. by this afternoon i was feeling so good about everything that i had my first glimmer of hope that i might regain my raw food bliss soon. i'm sure it'll ebb and flow for a while before it settles in for good, but i'm enjoying these golden moments.
