welcome to the neighborhood
Yesterday morning Phil found that one of our car windows had been tagged with a paint pen. We’ve (he) already cleaned it off, but it’s still a bummer. Then, while putting my bike outside when I got home from work today, I realized his bike was gone (i.e stolen). Someone climbed over our six foot fence and hoisted his bike out– not an easy feat! I filed a police report, but it’s long gone, and we’re both pretty creeped out with the idea of a theifing stranger climbing into our very private, practically inaccessible backyard.
Anyway, in other news, I started a “20 day” raw cleanse today. “20 day” is in quotations because I would be shocked with myself if I actually make it 20 days. But I will try! Today went well enough. I didn’t have camera batteries until this afternoon but I’ll talk about what I had anyway.
Breakfast: 1 apple, 1 banana and juice made from 2 carrots, 1 celery stalk, 1/2 c. cranberries and 1 apple.
Lunch: Salad, raw seeds and nuts and 1 banana.
Snack: Grapes!
Dinner: “Pasta” with pesto and a salad. I got a little creative and made some zucchini “pasta” with some raw spinach pesto.
It was meh. I’m not crazy about the texture of raw zucchini and since I had made Phil real speghetti I spent the whole meal wishing I was eating real noodles.
And another banana after dinner.
So far, I’m not hungry– just not satisfied. I am full of cravings. Particularly for bread and other cooked carbs (peas and corn included). Bananas are really good for satisfying this craving, but I’ve already had 3 today! I guess I just need to overcome these cravings– they are a good reason to be doing this on their own.
I’ll try to post every day about how it’s going!
That’s a bummer about your car and Phil’s bike. Anyway, your dinner looks good in spite of it being “meh.” At least you got to have some nuts (looks like cashews, my favorite!). Good luck!
