Happy Mothers Day!
What a wonderful day. My day started with me waking up with my 3 1/2 year old son (who crawled into our bed in the middle of the night), cuddled up next to me. I didn't want to get out of bed, especially when my husband brought me a cup of my favorite Kukicha tea (my alternative to coffee) with raw honey and some fresh organic strawberries and watermelon. At 9:30 we went for a family walk and the weather was gorgeous. We were supposed to go for brunch, but last minute decided to stay home and I'm so glad I did. I prepared organic eggs, sauteed asparagus, broiled tomatoes with olive oil and some fresh fruit. Both my mother and sister commented on how nice it was to have vegetables with breakfast food and how simple it was to add them. My husband once again picked up bagels - uhhh. This time I really had no desire to have a bagel. I am already starting to see my cravings diminishing. I'm consciously having other sweets in my life, but the good news is that the piece of Red Velvet Cake last night did not create a craving for baked goods today. Since our brunch was served at 12:30 our next meal didn't come until 5:30. We decided on Italian and fortunately the restaurant in town serves gluten free pasta. For those of you who don't know gluten is found in (wheat, barley, oatmeal). Since I am avoiding wheat at the moment this was a great alternative. It wasn't the healthiest choice, but it's all about balance. I decided on shrimp parmigiana - another favorite of mine.
So my day is over, I am sitting drinking a cup of tea and getting ready for bed. My overall feeling is of accomplishment and moving towards a more balanced body. My cravings are reducing and I didn't feel bloated one bit today. I also had great energy despite being on the go all day. I gave up sugar today, which was easier than I thought. Most of the sugar I would normally consume is in candies, cakes and processed foods. Without them it makes it easier to avoid sugar.
Until tomorrow,
Jacqueline
