This week in retrospect

Well - today is Mothers Day. So lets just forget about even trying. Its not that there isn't great raw food stuff out there - I guess I am too weak to make thewhole family follow it so strictly - especially on a long awaited moment such as this..
I've never been a breakfast person anyway - so skipped the egg and bacon thing and indulged in a gorgeous cup of coffee drunk whilst in bed and nibbled on some cut up apples.
We had a delightful picnic - but I gotta say salad just goes limp and awful in this heat - so I opted for cheese and french bread.. sigh.. it was good.....
I have to admit the only good thing I have done all week is to keep up my green smoothie count - one a day. yesterdays lettuce one was a bit ... rich - too much lettuce - the taste really came through.
still - need to get back on track - still sheding weight - very slowly - but feeling it in my clothes more than anything.

Report this Week

Last week sucked a day, big time. although I kept to a green smoothies at least one per day, I prepared vegetarian cooked food for the rest of the family. I didn't think it was fair to just shove an apple or a few carrot sticks in front of them and tell them that was dinner - it was what I was going to have, but they deserve better than that...

I overdosed on silverbeet smoothies though - yesterday I started heaving after half a glass. I have gotten lazy iwth the selection I use in my smoothies - so it was a good reminder to broaden the choices.

I know it was bad for health, but I have been going through a crap phase where I just can't be bothered to eat as long as I have my coffee drug habit Ican survive till about 2 pm without eating. Days are usually ok with apples or a handful of almonds - or bananas by the case load. Its when I have to get things ready for everyone else...

One observation though, I was in the surpermarket and thought - stuff it - I 'll get somehteing really bad and eat it reading my book on the couch....I ended up with a kg of grapes.. so promptly consumed them on the lounge. no choc - just didn't feel like it...

I went out to lunch with Age on Thurs and had squid - whichwas yum and spanish meatballs. first bit of meat for a while.

Feeling bla about everything still. my clothes are loose - pants are on verge of falling down but I still look gross. I understand there are plateaus but just can't seem to get past this one.

I can see that lifestule changes need to be something everyone embraces - it just doens't work otherwise. its all too hard..

Report this week

Still going.. but not 100%. I knew it would be neigh on impossible over the weekend at Mum and Dads - so didn't even attempt it.

Apart from the weekend, I have had a green smoothie a day and a large portion of raw either salad or fruit for the day. I have attempted to just not eat - it seems to be easier to do that rather than tempt myself with the evils of cooked stuff. I am really starting to hate everything and just plain getting down..

I have shed 10 Kgs since starting out and it seems this will only continue to happen if I am 100%. I seem to think that if I was alone.. at home with no distractions I might have a chance.. just how the heck do others do this and stay sane - in the real world?

sighhhh
