feel 20 but my body is now 40. I want to eat healthier, keep sane while I raise my 4 precious littles, feed my voracious reading appetite, travel, and realize some dreams. It's my own revolution. My revolutionary is Jesus Christ, and I do all things because He saved me, inspires me, and gives me strength. Follow my wavy path!

Day 2 of my completely different eating style. Last night's dinner didn't go very well...I made a great spinach and kale salad with avocado, tomatoes, and a lemon vinaigrette. Great, except after about 5 bites I couldn't stomach any more raw vegetables. Had some gagging, and ended up eating a handful of almonds. Any migraine sufferer will know that not eating enough is a huge headache trigger, and the missed meal didn't do me any favors.
Some further research indicated that I needed to add some kind of grain to alleviate the situation and get some calories. I felt great all day until I was simply starving and couldn't eat the food I had predetermined to eat. Ah, the best laid plans. I didn't eat anything else last night, but woke up weak and very tired.
I made some oatmeal with almond milk, and had a delicious grapefruit for breakfast and was back on track. Today has been good, I feel great after a good morning nap while my baby Bear slept.
Lunch was celery and peanut butter....it was delicious. My plan for dinner was lettuce wraps with hummus,sprouts and avocado, but my local market that I had time to go to today isn't currently carrying sprouts. ! I may just skip them and chop some other veggies.
I think this will work, just slightly modified when I am not getting enough calories. As much raw fruit, veg, and nuts as I can, with some whole grains items that may be cooked, but still no dairy, meat, sugar, or white flour. I can feel my body start to detox from the aforementioned and aside from feeling vaguely hungry a lot, I am experiencing some pretty intense hot flashes. I read that can happen, as the body is cleansing the liver. It's all good!
God bless my sweet children who are very "worried" about poor hungry mommy....but not enough to NOT eat the last of the double chocolate cake I made the night before my diet...in front of me.
