Sheesh, I'm really sucking at sticking to what I know works lately!! I've gotten back to 'grazing' and emotional eating these past few days, and I'm positive it's because of the cooked-food floodgates I opened over the weekend. I grazed on cheese last night, of all things, and then ate chocolates until the moment I decided to brush my teeth and go to sleep. Silly, silly Nim.
Today it ends.
I am going back to my raw/living foods completely -- again. I mean, I feel great while I'm doing it, my stomach stops being so bloated (it's amazing how easily I can tell now!), and I just feel better. Why don't I eat raw always? No clue, man. No clue.
So I made some 'cheese crackers' yesterday, which really do taste cheesy and should do nicely to curb my cheese crave today, and right now I've got apple pie chips drying. Those are great little snackers. I'll probably make more of the cheese crackers later on, although I'm out of the cashews that go in them. Maybe I'll try pine nuts or pistachios instead. Who knows how that'll turn out?
I've also got my beloved mangos upstairs, which -- go figure! -- I haven't eaten at all lately what with the cooked food invasion. My poor, rejected mangos! Mmm, maybe I'll make a shake with mango/banana. Wish I had some papaya, too, but that'll still be nice all the same. Yum! I've even got pineapple to put in it. What a great tropical treat!
Ok, there's nothing like spring-boarding back into something you know works, but is hard to start. That's the story of me, though. Plans, plans, plans, but no start date. Ok, I've had SOME start dates, and when I finally do start up, it's great and I feel wonderful -- not just on this diet but on any projects I put off starting until the last moment. Well, I know this is going to be great and I just need to do it, period.
So there.
