Day 3 has just begun.
I have had my bentonite drink with 2/3 tablespoon of bentonite powder, lots of flax seeds and lots of water.
Now I’m drinking a black tea with soya milk. It’s so not raw, not in the least, but I’m seeing it as the fact that black tea is far less addictive for me and if I drink it I don’t get such strong cravings for coffee. So…we’ll see how that goes. I still really want coffee, it has to be said…god, I love coffee!
I’m gonna finish my tea, then drink the smoothie that was left over from yesterday.
o: ( <<< this sign designates the passing of time…in this case, one day, it is now day 4 but I’ll finish writing about day 3)
So, what else happened yesterday? Oh yes, after my smoothie, I went for a run. I had lots of energy and felt positively bouncy. It only turned out to be a 20 min or so run but it was a hill run so that’s not so bad. After running I went to a small shop (it was Sunday so most places were closed) and managed to buy ingredients necessary for raw tacos, which were: an iceberg lettuce, an avocado and also ingredients for a juice.
When I got home, I showered, then made a zucchini and apple juice for Paolo and I, and started making the raw tacos. It went down like this:
I blitzed about a cup of walnuts with a 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt and cumin seeds. That’s the meat part. (REALLY tasty.) Then I blitzed one tomato, put it in a bowl and added 2 chopped tomatoes, dried cilantro, salt and pepper and olive oil. That’s the salsa. (Needs work.) Then I blitzed up some red pepper, tomatoes, salt, pepper and 1/4 of an avocado. That’s the cheese sauce. (Also needs work, I had made it before but I guess the ratios were different because it tasted MUCH more like cheese sauce that other time.) Then I made some guacamole, i.e. mushed avocado with salt and pepper. (Always tasty.)
We then ate the tacos in the ’shells’ of iceberg lettuce leaves. The meal was nice, all in all, but it definitely needs refining. Sobre todo the iceberg lettuce just makes it all too watery and messy. Here’s the photo I took:
Gnammy.
Molto gnammy.
Umm…so, yes, that went down well. Paolo liked it too, though he did also have bread with his. I could have eaten much more of the meat and guacamole but I hadn’t made enough.
So, I was still relatively hungry after that but just had a black tea with soya milk which more or less did the job.
A few hours later, I had a green smoothie with under ripe bananas and mandarins. Not great, but not bad.
Before bed I had a salad with iceberg lettuce and the left-over salsa.
Onto feelings…
I felt really quite normal today, neither good nor bad. Towards the end of the evening I went into a slight state of dazedness; when we went out for drinks with friends (I didn’t have anything, nor did I want anything) I really found myself without anything to say. You know when you want to be conversational but you’ve just got nothing to say? Yeah, that was me. So, I was the dull girl. Woo hoo!
Another thing worth mentioning is that I did not GO today. You know…go…I didn’t. So, that’s fun. Could be the bentonite clay but I am trying to drink lots of water!
Sigh…
Here’s me drinking my smoothie from the evening…
Glug glug…
