Raw Challenge

Woke up very tired, my daugther has been having some rough nights. She’s 4 months and maybe she is teething.

Started feeling really hungry so I made a green smoothie of: Kale, Parsley, Turnip greens, hemp seeds, bananas and blueberries. My 2 year old is enjoying it as well. I think this will hit the spot. It did yesterday.

Not having any cravings, didn’t really have any yesterday other than a warm meal sounded nice. And I was tempted as I made dinner for my husband and son to sneak a bite of cheese as I was grating it. But I resisted and feel good about that.

Lunch time..was feeling pretty good not feeling ravished until I heated up some leftover egg and cheese casserole for Haydens lunch. I *almost* took a bite, but I didn’t. Again this is showing me how much I usually stick in my mouth while getting his food.

So for lunch I juiced: kale, turnip greens, parsley, carrots, 3/4 of an apple, slice of lemon and a piece of bok choy, it was good. And I had a salad of mixed greens, brocolli, alfafa sprouts, tomatoes, red onion I mixed raw honey and tahni together add a spash of evoo and some lemon. Very good. Feeling pretty satisfied. Still craving some of that casserole, cheese is a huge weakness for me.  

Its 3pm. Needing a snack I think I’ll have some fruit a nectarine and cantelope sound good. It was about this time yesterday that I felt a crash coming on. And since Ken will be home soon and eating a warm meal I better have some food in my tummy before I deal with having to prep myself a bunch of veggies.

Well I snacked on cantelope, a nectarine and a plum. My two year old helped. Dinner was avocodo, tomatoes, jalepeno pepper, lime juice, garlic, green onion and alfalfa sprouts wrapped in romaine lettuce and cabbage.

I was still hungry so I took Hayden swimming. Felt fine until I sat down to watch TV, I usually snack at night. So I made a mango, strawberry and blueberry smoothie…so yummy. But then an hour later felt hungry so I ate a larabar. It was good but then I felt bad for eating it although its “raw” I had hoped to have some more will power.

Today was definetely harder. Lets hope tomorrow is easier.
