So far it’s been a bit of a challenge. I did great for the first 3 days. But today it’s hard.

After making the kids breakfast I poured myself a bowl of cereal. I was so tired (hadn’t woken up completely yet) and I found myself eating cereal instead of having fruit like I normally would. What’s worse, the cereal had cows milk.

My belly has not forgiven me almost all day. I don’t feel well. I had an apple for lunch. I was going to have some of this broccoli quiche (raw naturally) I made up last night but my belly was really bothering me.

I keep on craving bread now. I want to eat bread. I’m going to make some raw apple cinnamon bread tonight to have tomorrow morning but I want bread now. And not raw bread either. I want to have a bagel with creame cheese.

How messed up is that? I can’t believe I want to eat something so unhealthy. I’ve been working a lot on changing the way I think about food. And today is the reason why. When I think of food as being fuel for the body I don’t eat as much junk. I eat the foods that I know will fuel it best. Like putting in high performance gasoline into a good car.

And what’s worse? I’m eating dinner at my mom’s tonight. Spaghetti and Meatballs is what she said she’s going to make. My son’s favorite. I used to be able to eat like 10 of her meatballs in one sitting, they’re that good. I haven’t had them since I stopped eating meat (well, at least beef) earlier this year.

I’m going to bring the broccoli quieche. I would rather make lettuce wraps but I’m unsure as to if I want those or the broccoli. I could do both…perhaps I will!

I hope my mom isn’t offended.
