Raw Challenge

Not too bad so far… I had oatmeal soaked overnight in distilled water. I added apples, raisins, cinnamon, and a tiny bit of maple syrup. Not the best breakfast, but it filled me up. I am looking optimistic!

For lunch I had an awesome salad. Earth Bound Organics fresh herb salad with 1/2 tomato, 1/2 avacado, 3 mushrooms, red onion slices, cucumber, raw sunflower seeds, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and black pepper. I took a picture and will load it up soon.

I stopped at the natural market for almond butter — OH SO GOOD!! I had that with 1/2 a granny smith apple. I also bought hemp seeds, raw tahini, raw almonds, and 3 raw Larabars (I thought these would be good for when I was feeling ready to crack).

I will work on dinner in a bit! I am thinking another salad with dressing made from tahini and raw honey??… stay tuned for more details!

Yup, made dressing with tahini. So yummy! I also put 2 tab of hemp seeds on my salad. I think that helped me to feel like I was full. Even now, 3 hours later.. I am still satisfied. I thought I would have a dessert of strawberries, but I do not even feel like it now.

I felt very tired around 3pm and then again at 7pm. I could have gone to bed at 7pm and slept until morning. Now for the TMI parts… I noticed I peed a lot more today. I do not think I really increased my water either. I usually drink a lot. hmmmm…?

I think I will soak some oats for tomorrow’s breakfast. I have my cloth diapering playgroup at my house tomorrow morning. I am not fixing a snack. Usually, I bake something. I just told everyone there would not be food.

I did not have a green smoothie today. For some reason, it did not sound good at all today. I think I need a new smoothie recipe. Melissa?
