I got up at the usual 6.20am. Had my shower and a quick check at the PC and my breakfast which consisted of: oats, dates, banana and almond milk. Time to wake the boys up, make their breakfasts and then straight into housework. Dishwasher going, downstairs floors vaccumed, kitchen floor swiffered, clean laundry put away, sink cleaned, cat fed and watered..PHEW! That all feels good!!
After all that houeswork I decided to snack on 3 almond thins...YUM!

It is mine and my husbands 31st Wedding Anniversary today...WOW! 31 years.

I had oats, dates, banana and almond milk for breakfast today, I also decided to sprinkle a little cinnamon on top this time..YUM!

I am feeling a tad constipated again so I decided to have the above for breakfast instead of a smoothie.

Later in the day I ate a little bit of chicken and cooked veg, nice but didn't feel as satisfied as I would after eating a raw meal. Basically I celebrated our 31st Wedding Anniversary by eating an animal....oh my! I think I have lost the taste for chicken also now!!!!!! I rarely ate it anyway but I dont want it at all now!! :)

Back tomorrow

Yes, shame on me!...why oh why did I? I just don't know but late-ish, actually, about 7.00pm yesterday I had another bag of chips followed by a packet of milky buttons.

Okay, that is twice in one week that I have eaten chippy chips and I have to say, that within an hour of eating them I started to feel rather unwell; sickly, heavy headed, sluggish and generally unwell, not good at all! I kept thinking that after eating my raw meals I never feel unwell, obviously my body trying to tell me something eh!? STOP eating the rubbish!! Don't eat even one meal of rubbish! Especially if it makes me feel unwell after eating it! It is just not worth it!

Anyway, I am going to make a smoothie for breakfast. Oh! We popped along to my Mothers last night and she kept offering me food i.e. pâté on melba toast, baked potato with coronation chicken etc etc but I refused, partly because I didn't feel hungry because raw really does satisfy and partly because it was processed and cooked, but then on our way home we drive past the chip shop and we stopped:( so my hunger came back by that time:(

I'm moving on and leaving yesterday behind.

This smoothie was delicious. I put in blueberries, strawberries, almond milk and protein powder..YUMMY!!

Back tomorrow

The sun is shining today..BLISS!
I had a lovely smoothie for breakfast today.

Breakfast

Berries; strawberries, blueberries and a few blackberries. Almond milk and raw protein powder...YUMMY!

 

A delicious smoothie

 

Last night  I made two of Russell James' breads; one garlic and one plain. I also made a half batch of Russell James' almond thins, these are SOOO Delicious, very moreish!!

 

 

These recipes are from Russell James' raw cheese ebook.

 

This bread is so soft and spongey, if you click on the photo you can see how spongey it is:) I am thinking of making raw butter from Hallelujah Diets.

 

 

 

Oops! I didn't get back.

Good morning...just; the time is 11.42am. I have done my weigh in and I have updated my stats on my weigh in page and this week I have lost 2lb...WooHooo I put this down to taking pics and blogging exactly what I eat each day, so of course I am going to continue doing this.

Breakfast

 

Grapefruit juice...YUM!

 

*UPDATE* - 3.10pm

I decided to vacuum, polish and swiffer my downstairs floors, this is supposed to be yesterdays job but it's done now ayway.

 

I put some almonds in to soak because I am going to make almond milk, smoothie using the milk and Russell James' garlic bread and hopefully Russell James' almond thins also...YUM!

 

I didn't have much for lunch because of being busy, but I'm not feeling hungry very much today anyway, so all is good:)

 

Lunch

 

Yep, 2 banana's and yep, that and the grapefruit juice is all I have eaten today, just not a hungry day today. I am going to have a salad for my evening meal. I will be back to blog about anything else I may have or make today.



 

 

*UPDATE* - 7.26pm

Well, on Monday I had a joined triple head daffodil and this afternoon I have had a joined mushroom:)

 

 

Evening Meal

 

Finely shredded romaine lettuce...YUM!

sliced chestnut mushroom marinaded in olive oil and tamari.

Sliced avocado.

Grated carrot, stir in mayonnaise (not raw:() and nutritional yeast...SOOO YUM!

Back throughout the day

Weigh In

The time is 2.05pm and all I have eaten today is 1 banana and I had a glass of water with that. I had that at about 7am. I then wired the plug back on my citrus juicer, it came off when I was pulling the wire out which was caught on something, but instead of making a citrus juice I decided to doze, the time was about 9.30am and I didn't wake up until 12.00pm...that was two and a half hours. I felt very tired this morning and I still feel rather tired now..detox?!?

Breakfast

*UPDATE*
This afternoon I had a handful of cheesy kale. For my evening meal I admit to having a chunky Kit Kat then a bag of chips from the chippy, and a slice of buttered bread...Oh Noooooo! The Kit Kat and chips were a one off blip and tomorrow is another day. I am more eating raw and I will put this blip behind me and move on.
Weigh day tomorrow.

Back tomorrow.

I woke up at 5.30am and got out of bed at 6.20am. I had my shower and then decided to make a smoothie for breakfast; a papaya smoothie...YUM!
I made this using my Tribest, of course:)

Breakfast

I used two small papaya, a banana and coconut water.

*UPDATE* - 2.41pm
I dozed off for about an hour and a half this morning. Shortly after I woke up the boys were home for their lunch. I had had nothing to eat or drink except water since this morning, and to be honest, a cup of coffee also. I was starting to feel hungry and it is all too easy to grab a packet of crisps but I didn't and I immediately turned my thoughts to juice, so I made a green juice.

 

Lunch

I juiced romaine lettuce, carrots, apple and I then threw in some spirulina...YUM! I made a large kilner/mason jar of it, gone now though, in my tummy:)

So up to now today I have had a smoothie and a large green juice.
Back later for my evening meal and anything else for today:)

*UPDATE* - 7.10pm
I have just finished my evening meal and yes I did leave some as there happened to be a humongous amount on my plate. I had spring rolls....YUM! One of my favourites.

Evening Meal

 

I used my new Benriner mandolin to shred the carrot (pic of the mandolin in last months posts, BUSY DAY POST) this was the first time using it and OH, MY, GOODNESS!! This thing is EXTREMELY sharp...I need one of those gloves to use with it because I am SOOO accident prone! And everyone in this house knows exactly what is going to happen, but I was extra cautious using it!!!

As you can see I prepared carrots, red pepper, tomato, cucumber, courgettes, avocado and alfalfa sprouts.

The pic above is the spring rolls all done. I had some sweet n sour sauce left from yesterdays evening meal so I had some of that with my spring rolls. I did want peanut sauce but I just couldnt be fathed to make it. I am terrible for throwing food away if it isn't eaten that day...such a waste! But now I am trying to use up left overs hence having sweet n sour sauce. The pepper and courgette were also left overs from yesterdays evening meal and the tomato and cucumber were left overs from when I prepared my husbands packed lunch this evening. The peanut sauce would have been much nicer with spring rolls. I still have left over sweet n sour sauce so I am thinking of having that tomorrow lunch time with a few veg.

Today I have also consumed 2 bananas and I confess to having a quarter piece of buttered bread which I ate whilst preparing my husbands packed lunch. I would normally have eaten the full slice but Adam wanted some and then James wanted some so I was more than happy to give them the rest before they tucked into their evening meal which was boiled potatoes, green beans, carrots and chicken breasts cooked in a garlic and tomato sauce, I cook the chicken breast in the sauce for 2 hours, it comes out SOOO tender, they love this meal:) Yep, I am making different meals every meal time, always have done and probably always will, often I have had to make 4 different meals cause one doesn't like what the other does and so on, but I don't mind!

Well, that is it for today. Back tomorrow
