Tough day.....have not been feeling well, still "eliminating" a lot and I had to work my 10 hour shift. By the time I got home I was so hungry for some REAL FOOD. I have been eating raw crackers and seed cheese and salad and fruit for two weeks and was in the mood for something more substantial. First I could not find the two zucchini that I know I bought but apparently someone else ate. So fine, I will have the pasta sauce on some avocado, it is pretty bland. Want to make some alfredo sauce. Calls for macadamia nuts, but I don't have any so I use cashew. Folks, it is really awful. It has this sweet undertones with the garlic and lemon juice. Just blech. And I have like three cups of it!!!! So now I don't know what to eat for supper. Still hungry and very unsatisfied! OK done whining! I will not cheat, don't worry.
B: Watermelon
L: Raw crackers and an avocado with vinaigrette dressing. Ate two of my raw cookies before I realized they were spoiled.
Snack: One apple
Supper: Tried to get the above down but it didn't work. I will see what else I can ruin, lol.

Today was awesome! We even went to the park today since it was my day off. My family ate mostly raw today by their own choice so I am secretly proud to be setting a good example that seems to be catching on so well :)

Katchmoleen: I tried making alfredo with cashews a couple of times. The first time turned out awful! The second time I added fresh basil leaves to the blender and it turned out so yummy! May be you just need to add flavor to it? I hope that you find something yummy and satisfying to eat for supper!

katchmoleen, I'm sorry you're feeling so awful. I'm right there with you :( Today was not my day either, hopefully tomorrow will be better for both of us.

My stomach allowed me to eat a little more today and I was ravenous in the afternoon/evening...which led me to eat too much for my sensitive stomach to handle and now I feel horrible again. Blah.

-3 bananas
-banana & lara bar
-3 bananas throughout afternoon- was very hungry!
-huge salad w/ romaine & red leaf lettuce, carrots, cucumber, tomato, red pepper, cauliflower, half a small avo, and vinegar. Then I was still hungry even though my stomach was kind of hurting, so I had ANOTHER lara bar. And now I want to die. This stomach thing is definitely stress-related and it's very annoying. The source of the stress is only going to get worse in the next couple of weeks, so I'm hoping I can find a way to deal with it.

Anyway I made a list of things that hurt my stomach less, and they are bananas, lara bars and avocadoes. Hence all the bananas & lara bars today. Unfortunately that salad was way too much.

LOL...in that particular instance I meant my husband and son and I think that it has something to do with there only being fruits and veggies around nowadays. The support was always there, but I am thinking that now that that is all there is to eat so my husband is starting to look at the food in a new way and what can be done with it to make things interesting, at least there are no complaints yet :)
