Day 10: feeling good & eating good

I couldn’t stop eating this.  I basically plowed through 1/3 of it with cashew butter. I was starving though! Kyle and I went on a family run to the tennis courts to play before it got to be 104 degrees…so by the time we were home and showered I was ready to eat the entire pan.  Hence the major damage I did to it. I spent most of the morning in the kitchen doing prep.  After I took my first round of pills I felt some cramping and sure enough, an hour or so later… Read more >

Day 9: up and downs

Here’s that beautiful baked dish that I made the night before.  I was literally throwing things into a mixing bowl while I was coming up with a concept of what I was going to make. I had about a cup of shredded zucchini left and a very brown banana, which is why I needed to do something. Add in coconut oil, eggs, almond flour, stevia, salt and baking soda and you have a lovely little casserole bake. Clumpy almond milk in my coffee…booo. Mega cashew butter.  Yayyyy! Like, MEGA cashew butter. I smeared it everywhere… Read more >

Day 8: the blahs

I am really bored with this diet.  Bored and annoyed.  It seems to require so much (too much) prep to eat anything and since I’m a person who likes to eat what I crave in that moment, it’s hard to plan ahead. For breakfast I had cashew bread with coconut manna.  Not because I wanted it, but because I couldn’t think of anything else to prepare quickly that sounded good. At least this time I had the patience to wait for my breakfast to toast (rather than eat the first slice plain while making the… Read more >

Day 6 and Day 7: Dessert and treat ideas

I always want chocolate, but it’s probably (definitely) not the best for me. Gahhhh…I fell prey to my sweet tooth last night though and while I could rattle off a half dozen excuses, I’m just going to own it and focus on a more productive activity. Brainstorming other options to turn to: frozen grapes (love them, but always forget about them) Danielle Walker’s real deal chocolate chip cookies (I’ve made them with stevia instead of the honey/palm sugar with success) 21 Day Sugar Detox moo-less chocolate mousse (like avocado cacao pudding) kombucha Soooo, half of… Read more >

July 4th

I never got around to sharing pics from my favorite weekend ever.  4th of July in Davis is quite possibly the best holiday ever.  This little town does it so so right. By sheer luck (right place right time) we ended up grand marshaling the parade! Can you even believe it!  We rode on this vintage fire truck at the head of the kids parade that ended at Central Park.  But let me back up to the days leading up… We actually quit swim lessons and suddenly he’s learned to kick to propel himself!  Spending… Read more >
