Week One, Day Four. I Love Feeling Full Without Feeling Regret(full)!

Author's Note: I realize regretful is spelled wrong but it's cute, give me a break. Artistic license and all........

I thought I felt great yesterday. I felt even better this morning. That was a surprise considering my dogs kept me up half the night growling at something. I don't love that, right in the middle of the night, when their ruffs are up but nothing is there, or is it? Shit, I don't know but they woke me up enough I finally closed the door and locked them out! I never do that. BUT then I was creeped out and wanted them back in to protect me. We watched Jimmy Fallon clips on Youtube, it was a good time.
 
I was definitely hungry this morning after the exodus yesterday and breakfast was really good despite my reservation of another sweet dish. It was dried apricots that I had soaked overnight in almond milk. The apricots sweetened the milk and the milk softened the apricots just enough that it all got kind of yogurty and perfect. Well, almost perfect. Next time, I'm going to blend it a little so it's just like yogurt. I may also try freezing it, will let you know how that turns out!
 
 
P.S. There has got to be something wrong with my camera phone. All of my photos this morning are turning out looking like they have filters circa 1984 glamour shots.
 
Lunch was supposed to be a mixed green salad with Dijon Date Dressing and berries/fruit of my choosing but I added a cup of last night's soup (Dr. Fuhrman's Anti-Cancer Soup) because YUMMMM! I literally threw every sweet dressing I had left this morning out and will be replacing all of them with this dressing!! It's that amazing. As I did last night, I added a touch of Dr. Bragg's liquid aminos to both the dressing and the soup. Baby steps, baby steps.
 
 
Dinner was raw veggies with Simple Guacamole, Lisa's Lovely Lentil Stew, and Collard Greens with Carrots. The guacamole was awesome on the veggies. I liked it more than most restaurant guacamoles AND Sam learned how to say gack-a-molay, SO cute. He also ate most of it with his fingers while he ran around the table. Sheesh! The lentil stew was yum, of course with a little liquid aminos. I think that's just going to be a thing for me. But I figure an 1/8 of a teaspoon in a cup of beans isn't so bad. I DID NOT like the collard greens! The tahini/cashew butter sauce ruined them. I will not be making that again. I really rather just have steamed greens....or maybe some more of that Dijon dressing.
 
 
I'm glad to have my tummy back today exodus-wise and feeling a little less sad about pickles and cheese!
