Everyone have a good Tuesday?

My first day at work went well. It’s a really laid back environment and the staff seems like they are responsible and work well together, so that’s good. I wipped out my raw lunch, but salads are pretty common so no one noticed.

I had leftover Raw Sundried Tomato Pesto mixed with Spinach and Tomatoes. I also had my carrots and was completely full … for about 20 minutes.

Then I had my banana and an apple, which filled me for about an hour. I was kind of hungry and caved when everyone else started munching on Goldfish Pretzels. I had a couple dixie cups full, which made me artificially full for awhile, but by 6:00 I was starving again. Luckily, my house is v. close, so I just walked home and had two pieces of bread (Left: Honey Oatmeal Bread, Right: Oatmeal Yeast Bread) with a bunch of Almond Butter. Delicious, but this wasn’t really how I like to have dinner. I guess I didn’t plan for my hunger very well today.

I headed to the gym for kickboxing, but I think I got the time wrong, because nothing was going on. Instead, I used the elliptical for an hour while watching Oscar fashion recaps.

I felt like the sandwich was “dinner,” so I had snacks.

One delicious honest foods apple ginger bar and some Sunbird Snacks Cherry Fruit Cocktail because I am currently obsessed with dried apricots! I think it’s obvious that I should have had a real dinner at some point today because now I am sugar sick. Oh well. Live and learn.

Erin asked me how raw foods were affecting my digestion. Totally valid question and something I am interested in myself. During the course of my normal eating, I feel like my stomach gets slightly bulbous and very hard and I am never sure why. Does anyone else ever feel like that? I don’t think I am eating a high enough percentage of raw food to take notice of its affect on me yet, but if I do notice any changes, I will (discreetly) keep you informed.
