Today was the kind of day that makes me feel very grateful to live in California. There was a chill in the air as I left the house early this morning to go to the Farmer’s Market, but the sun was shining. The incredible variety and abundance at the Market never fails to amaze me.
I have made it through seven days of no artificial sweeteners, coffee (no caf or decaf coffee), no dairy with the exception of a little butter, and something like 90% raw. Yay me!
My energy and mood are great. I feel an great improvement in my overall sense of well being.
I feel armed and ready for another successful week–I am really looking forward to making some of the recipes I plan to make this week.
A awesome salad I just made for dinner:
thin sliced fennel
shredded carrots
shredded beets
chopped tomato
arugula
avocado
dressing of olive oil, pinch of stevia, meyer lemon juice, sea salt, pepper
I ate a ton of fruit today! It started out with a concoction of juice orange and giner blended up with pineapple and a pinch of nutmeg in the blender. I am trying to keep a cold at bay.
I then had a ton of fruit samples at the Market, and a banana.
For lunch I had a pint of fresh figs and 1 pear.
My snack was my chocolate ice cream made with a frozen banana, mejdool dates, cocoa powder, stevia, and ice. Yum!
Dinner was that awesome salad.
I feel like I need something more to eat…but am trying to stay away from chocolate.
I ate an entire bar of dark chocolate last night plus 2 gluten free chocolate chip cookies I made for my sweetheart! I could not sleep due to the mix of the chocolate/sugar high and indigestion!
I think that I am not physically hungry, just always used to getting desert.
