Update day June 9, 2007

I’m still not feeling so great today, but much better than yesterday. Good thing too, as I’m way too busy preparing for my daughters party to be sick!  I was able to stay raw again no problem today. I think it’s mainly because I feel too off to eat much.

breakfast was a green smoothie, lunch was the leftover carrot salad from yesterday, and I think tonight I’ll just have another green smoothie, and some fruit if I can stomach it.

Tomorrow is going to be so not raw! I just got back from the grocery store with all of the food for tomorrow. Assuming I feel well enough to eat all those yummy dips and assorted chips and flat breads….I will. And then of course there’s the birthday cake, and the homemade cupcakes (had to make those for the kids with peanut allergies), which will probably be better than the store bought cake. The cake though is a fancy tinkerbell decorated thing. It looks quite incredible.

Cherimoya June 2, 2007

Oh, my god! I have never tasted anything quite so scrumptious as a cherimoya. According to Wikipedia

Mark Twain called the cherimoya “deliciousness itself”.  It was a little custardy, quite sweet, but It’s hard to describe the taste. In any case, I’m going to purchase more of them today. It was certainly worth the $5!

This morning I made an excellent smoothie with dandelion greens, baby spinach, watermelon,  and a little bit of mango (maybe a half mango) The mango was frozen, so it was a little hard to tell how much I used.

For lunch I whipped up a neat salad. 1 zucchini spiroolied into noodles, 1 avocado, juice of a 1/2 a lime, a handful of various bean sprouts purchased from whole foods, and a handful of sunflower seeds. It needed something, but I didn’t feel like just adding oil, so I threw in a little bit of garlic/lemon organic non raw salad dressing.

I’ve snacked on a couple medjool dates, and I had a bit of Mango, papaya, banana ice cream that I whipped up today. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this before. It’s so easy! Just process or blend it all, and put it in a bowl in the freezer. It tastes awesome. Especially in the heat we’ve had today.

Dinner was only sort of raw tonight. I made another salad with the sprouted beans, lettuce, pumpkin seeds, cabbage, carrots, and raw walnuts. More of the non raw dressing from lunch. I also ate 2 barbequed shrimp skewers. It was a nice treat, and I’m not feeling too guilty - also I shared a nice big bowl of cherries with the kids.

 added in late - I just ate a raw chocolate bar. I feel like I ate a lot today, but I was really hungry. I’m curious what effect this will have on my weight in the morning.
