I hope you continue to feel better as the day goes on Frangi.

xoxoxo

Oh a good bm makes aaaaaaaaaaaaall the difference! LOL. I had two today both of which amazed me at their bulk. Sheesh. It's amazing how open we become on forums!


Now when you say one time I'm assuming you mean one quick lick and not loading the spatula and winding your tongue around it for about ummm... a minute! LOL. I'm sure it was a quickie and I admire your strength. If I had a quick lick... the cake would be gone! Tee hee.

Glad you are feeling better love!

yes all it was was a quick lick.... [I surprised myself.  Love your graphic description.......LOL] and into the sink full of water to rinse it.  The only way i can do it. I stand about 2 feet from the sink and thrust the spatula into the water turning my head so as not to allow the tongue to get to the spatula.  LOL

Day 72 on Raw

Breakfast
smoothie: Juices celery (more of it than usual) cucumber, carrot and an apple added 6 dates and a hand full of raspberries, OH I juiced some snow pea sprouts in the juice - went well, didnt even taste it, then added spinach and linseeds - it was quite delicious - bit of a funny colour though.
Lunch
Juiced extra carrots and celery for lunch - desperately wanted a warm soup so made carrot  juice soup heated over water till just warm and had a follow up salad - delish!
Dinner
Pondering my dinner - some thing to look forward to when i get home late night to night, so it will be warm 'hot chocolate'  from almond milk.  or smoothie with blueberries??   

Must use the almond pulp for bix from BB.  I tried them with chocolate last time and they were yumm as well, will try them as per her recipe this time - bound to be better.
Didnt sleep well last night had a disturbing email before i went to bed, problem is not fully sorted but now at a reasonable level.  For a moment the pot of hot vegetable and chicken soup really appealed,warm and comforting..... aaaaaaaaahhhhhh get away from me.... so a lovely warm carrot juice soup was the go!  I am feeling quite invigorated now, tired ness is gone and i am feeling quite energised,  I actually want to exercise and CAN'T get there as i want to.   
Cooking again for grandies - cake, shepherds pies, lasagne & apple crumble      AND I DIDNT EVEN LICK THE BOWL or the spatula or taste any of it  YAYYY,   Man they need a full time chef! ....  it seems the morning is the best time for me to cook for them, my 'wont power' is better then. 
Didnt go swimming had to go to work early, but will either swim or walk tomorrow have a busy day and hopefully can fit either one in. 

Finally got to do some exercise today.  Did a 6km walk , no real stiffness and feel really good after the walk, surprised myself, the stiffness that I used to feel in my joints has gone and I feel quite flexible and quite good after this long walk.  I will do another one tomorrow.

Found that the best strategy to my eating and keeping raw when cooking for others is for me to prepare my meals first then i know what i am eating and will not be so tempted to eat other stuff.  Much better idea.
Challenge tomorrow night, have to go out to a polish friends and her idea of vegetarian is that we eat lamb and veal in a heavy gravy! Vegetables are usually boiled boiled and very sparce.  Not sure how to handle this any ideas any one.       

Today
Bfst - Juice carrot, celery, apple and ginger and fennel
dried banana and some soaking almond

Lunch- Slightly Warm Carrot Soup - delicious
Dinner -entree: Stick Celery stuffed with maca paste and raisins
 a huge salad - butter lettuce, coriander, corn, olives, s/d tomato, sultanas, carrot, celery, cucumber and dressing balsamic and olive oil and salt. 
Then banana and strawbs x4
Now my "belly is full" bit too full really but it feels really good to have a full belly.

Friday
yukky smoothie - wont write down what I ate as it tasted yukky

lunch: dried banana, nashi pear and home made spring rolls

dinner was corn salad - 2 ears corn and a bit of oil and some salt added a bit of parsley OK but nothing to write about really,

Thursday - cant really recall details but know that this is what I ate.
Smoothie
lunch: large salad and dressing
Dinner crayfish fritters - and I did not enjoy them - too oily and not really good at all.

Am away this weekend, time to relax and to recover from the hustle an bustle of life.  It is verrrry windy so taking a walk is jet assisted in one direction.

Tuesday, travelling home 3 hour trip.  Hubby had pizza again as it is easy for him to eat on the run.  I forgot to mention that i make the pizza for him, wholegrain milled bread base and sd toms and as many veg as i can put on them and topped off with cheese, drip dribble dribble ............ sound great dont they?

I did a 5 km walk uphill and down hill on WEdnesday, did not need to go to work at all. Yayyyyyy.     

I had for breakfast:  Oh by the way Hubby is drinking GS! and liking it    GS with normal juices and pear and dates and nana
Lunch: chick pea salad - Ohhhhhhh heaps of tummy gas..... didnt need fuel to get home   

Dinner: 8:30 pm after work and not much in the fridge, I had celery and macadamia paste with sultananas and nuts and dried fruits and a banana and one chapati.  I was hungry after work and had no fresh stuff to eat!

Wednesday:
defrosted freezer that broke down whilst i was away.   I was quite busy, no car and f&v shop 20km away, so had only dried fruit and nuts, fudge balls and a banana all day till dinner when hubby did the shopping then.....
Dinner: my favourite RAW Laksa - delicious I must post the recipe for this as it will be ideal comfort winter food, filling and warming.  Recipe is at home will post later.

Thursday,
Went for a 4km walk up hill and down hill, my butt muscles are now revealing themselves. 
breaky smoothie with normal juice base plus beurre bosc (brown) pear and date and banana and added some sprouts from my easy sprouter alfalfa and linseeds - this is d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s-  Grandson joined us and participated in two small glasses.  He loves to eat the carrot pulp that comes out the end of the juicer!
Lunch 3 pieces fish- delish and large salad and two fudge balls
Dinner prepared the juice for my warm carrot soup tonight after work.  Yummy Late night tonight.

I am really pleased with my easy sprouter i have never made sprouts that looked like the alfalfa ones i harvested when i came back from being away, i thought i would try just leaving them for 4 days and it worked, but the sprouter did run out of water, not sure if that is real good though.  I have put in a salad mix, broccoli (for the smoothies) and sunflower seeds and alfalfa they will be ready soon so i will post pics of them in a couple of days.   I want to do some wheat so that i can make some essene bread and some dehydrated essene bread as well, still craving that salad sandwich!

I will be fasting from 26th July 2 days juice, 5 days water, 2 days juice then back on raw.  I was dreading this but i am strangely looking forward to it.  I recall that i felt really good after my last fast last year and look forward to the rest.  I have been able to work the car thing out and it will be ok.  My haven is 3 hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city in farm and beach country.  the nearest town is 30 km away and it is ever so peaceful.  I will take sewing and reading - lots of it and walking stuff and some raw carrots and apples - hopefully organic stuff to break my fast - I have collected a heap of jars for my peee samples it will be interesting!

Walked 6km today, boy are my butt muscles sore now! and I am tired; will empty d/washer and restack stick veg from shops in cold laundry till tomorrow and go to bed. 
Did not do well today
breakfast
smoothie - juices with pear and banana and dates
lunch
satay veg - met with kerri had good intentions of having juice but man i was too hungry so ate any thingthat came to sight - which should have been heaps of fruit  but thats the way we are trained so ate at chinese shop any way it was enjoyable any way. 
T-H-E-N  did i really go overboard - haigs chocolates 2 small bars and 4 tuffles  Oh myyy   
Dinner  chapati x2, nori roll of salad and a bit of fish - yukkk not real keen on nori, sort of makes my stomach gag. 
Well a new and better day tomorrow, need to plan my meals and get organized yet again. 
byee for now
