Day 1 is here

Let me tell you a secret... Last night when I looked at the clock just after midnight, a deep feeling of dread crept over me. "What have I signed myself up for?!", I thought.

This morning I’m feeling good though. I had a few realizations in the past few days of foods that I can eat, which will help keep me going. The first is Almond Milk, which I think will be a nice way to make morning smoothies taste a little richer and keep me a bit fuller. The second is, broadly, seeds. Seeds? Yes. Seeds. Chia seeds. Flax seeds. Pepitas. You get the idea. It doesn’t sound exciting, but what I like about seeds is that they give you a crisper texture than you can get with nuts. I actually found a great recipe for crackers made from just seeds, garlic and onions, then either dehydrated or baked low. I plan on making these in these soon. Let me know if you want in.

So, here is my plan for the day:

This morning I had a mixed berry smoothie with almond milk, with some raw pepitas from trader joes.

For lunch today I think I’m going have an avocado and tomotoes with some salsa.

I’m actually meeting a colleague for dinner, which would probably be a disaster, but we’re going to Native Foods Café which has a number of raw and vegan options. I’m sure I’ll be able to find something.

Snacks today include almonds, dried seaweed ‘chips’, and maybe a Lara Bar. Lara Bars by the way are just dates and walnuts along with maybe another fruit.

Best of luck folks!
