Progress report - AKA - the grub we miss!
Robert yearns for bread and chocolate.
Melinda yearns for smooth, creamy drinks on cold winter days - a nice cup of chai or coffee would be delicious.
She also longs for toast - fresh bread, popped into the toaster with a dab of butter - yum!
Easiest meal of the day:
Breakfast.
Melinda has been enjoying brown rice, coconut, nuts, fresh fruit, cinnamon and a touch of maple syrup.
Robert enjoys the hard boiled egg
and fresh fruit.
Hardest meal of the day:
Lunch.
Melinda would love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a fresh salad (but due to my on the floor, deathly ill, wretch until you think life is over, salad enduced food poisioning, I don't do salads too often in Switzerland =) so that makes lunch fruit salad, topped with plain yogurt and nuts for me.
Robert has it a bit easier.
He walks down to the local butcher and gets a fresh salad with the one slice of egg on top.
Sweet tooth tricks:
Dates with a bit of peanut butter and shredded coconut.
Delicious!
Or...
Bengal Spice tea with oat milk and honey.
What will we miss over the weekend -
PIZZA Fridays!
Each Friday, we make our own veggie pizza and chill with a glass of wine and relax over a good movie.
This Friday, it might be a bowl of brown rice with fresh veggies and our trusty glass of H2o!

Anyway, I am rather enjoying this journey.
I like going to the grocery store and skipping most of the isles, plus it feels good to avoid "food like substances!"
When you eat whole foods, you mostly fill your basket with fruits, veggies, eggs, grains, etc. it makes shopping a heck of a lot easier.
Here's to healthy eating...because what we eat matters!

i LOVE this idea! erik and i used to eat 'macrobiotic' diet which incorporates a lot of whole foods; brown rice was our staple. :) what a great way to get back in touch with exactly what you put into your body - you are what you eat! good luck and i hope you feel positive and peaceful throughout the week and after.
WOW, god bless your resolve! Frankly where we live it is pretty had to find whole foods. Thank god for Trader Joes! We try to eat healthy suff, but it seems to infiltrate the pantry more that it should. That stinks that you can't enjoy salads Melinda!! I personally need a way to quit sugar because I find I am literally addicted to it and that isn't good because it seems to be getting worse - HELP! LOL
