Today,started off as any other. Attempting to nurse a baby,rouse a sleeping boy,and threaten a grown man. Getting ready in a timely manner so that we all can make it to were we need to be is a challenge. The boy normally heads off to the Y-Mon.-Fri,joined by myself if I'm lucky. The man is off to the barbershop to cut hair. This was a good day inspite of that the fact that I simply could not get anyone on track this morning. The boy dragged, the man dragged, the baby however was on my side,she had nursed to her hearts content and I had time to get the boy to the Y on time for camp and I could have made it to water aerobics! Did this happen-Nooooo!! To say that I was a bit annoyed is an understatement,I'm proud of myself though I did not fuss nor complain-aloud anyway (haha!!). We FINALLY made it out of the door.
I did get to go shopping today and I picked up a nice stock of fruits and veggies-fresh peppers, eggplant,plantains,green onions, radishes,mangoes.....I'm determined to cook something different no matter how many recipes I read,cut out,dream of, I still have a tendency to cook basically the same things,how bout you??? Well this evening I informed my son that I purchased a bag of pizza dough for him to make his own pizza (is that all you bought me??). After he got over his disappointment that I didn't buy him more, he went happily to the task of creating his own pizza pie. I also created one with a pesto base,which I topped with mozzerella,feta,cherry tomatoe,mushroom and alittle bit of salmon-and it was sooo goood!! The flavors were a perfect match! And guess what it was different,more like a pizza that I could have prepared from one of my MANY COOKBOOKS, that I speak of so often.
Let's see I wanted to share w/you all that I consumed on this 12th day of my food challenge. I did not eat,nor drink till about noon today-I know shame on my especially breastfeeding I usually drink water by the pints,so as you can imagine, I was completely starving and thirsty. so I purchased one of those pre-cut fruit salads in the square containers,which was actually pretty good today,the fruit wasn't rock hard. Once I got home I made a big salad after snacking on a few roasted garlic pita chips. The salad was really good ,I had beets,sugarsnaps,homemade pico de gallo-a boiled egg on top of some fancy greens. Anyway it was really tasty. My mother ordered a sweetpotato Poundcake from my aunt so I ate a nice serving of that w/ a scoop of vanilla icecream. Dinner was the above mentioned pizza and I also had two very delicous peaches today. I started to drink a guava kombucha drink from wholefoods but passed once I ate the cake, my liquids have been strictly water today, I'm missing my smoothy it's been a few days since I've made one,perhaps tomorrow-Till we meet again!
