Today was easier than yesterday. Yesterday after I blogged I ended up eating some more dates, a cashew cookie lara bar, some nut butter, and then some very non-raw sweet potato chips!
When I have an overeating experience the next day is always easier to be on track.
Went to a Bikram Yoga class first thing in the morning to get my day started off right. My body felt so alive and the sun was shining here in norcal as I stepped out of class into the fairyland of perfectly manicured downtown Palo Alto.
I had a vegan organic food bar for breakfast, a chocolate-bananas-date shake for lunch along with a couple of almonds & a bite of chocolate, and then tried out a new recipe for dinner I found on goneraw.com: cream of celery soup. I mixed a head of celery with 1 cup homemade almond milk, 1 small clove of garlic, onion powder & salt in the vitamix until warm. I added some chopped celery for some crunch. It was delicious and so simple. I had a salad with a raspberry vinaigrette and 2 apples for dessert. Not a good dessert as there was oil in the dressing–oils don’t combine well with fruits, but I am not quite that advanced.
I am going to dedicate tomorrow to planning the upcoming week’s recipes as I learned a lot from the past 5 days: I need to do a lot more planning to have the kind of success I want to have from this diet and life in general. I sit and wait for good things to happen to me too much. I feel more and more compelled to be proactive–seems like I get this motivation to take charge of my health and my life every fall. Interesting.
