Food Log: November 12th, 2010

Doing great!! I'm officially down 15 pounds in 12 days. Not too shabby. Rachael has lost about the same. We're still pretty motivated about RAW food, but still struggling with temptations and cravings for SAD food. I'm just glad we're doing it together. I told her yesterday that if it had just been me, I probably would have slipped already, but haven't because I don't want her to slip. She said the same thing back!! Imagine if we actually had other friends going along with us or had already made it. It would make this even easier. We've been trying to reach out and build some social support, but neither of us are very social people. More time and more exercising those social muscles I suppose.


Here's what I had today:
So, the mexican food was outstanding. I can't think of anything that tastes as good. There was Cilantro Pesto, Walnut "meat", Cheddar Cheese sauce and Salsa. You wrapped it all up in a Romaine leave and then ate it. It was so amazing. I've never been a fan of nut cheese mostly because I've never made a good batch of it. This Cheddar Cheese sauce, it tastes like the real deal. I do think that this mexican food will be a staple in our diet. Probably at least once a week. It was so amazing. We're going to make a batch of Kale chips today with the cheddar cheese sauce and see how it goes. My guess is that it's going to go super well. I am very excited. :0)

Still doing good. Still losing weight. Still loving RAW!! Today is Sunday and I've made it the whole weekend without any real temptation or even a tiny slip. Rachael has made it too. She's doing great!! I'm so grateful to have her here taking on RAW foods with me.

Here's what I had today:
It looks like a lot, but it really wasn't. I probably shouldn't have had so much of the cacao\peanut butter pie so late at night, but it was good, and I'm okay that I ate it. I need to be careful with peanut butter. It's a mood food for me and it's easy to get a little down and find that I just ate a whole cup of peanut butter or more. Yikes!!

I'm really loving the Kale chips. I've already modified the recipe so much that it hardly resembles the original. :0) I kind of see recipes as sort of guidelines anyways. I've never really trusted my food creation intuition other than on myself and I've never really pushed to grow that side of me. I really do enjoy creating food and putting together recipes. Part of me, probably the insecure and less confident side, enjoys just following a recipe and tweaking it a little. I like being told what to do. It's the same with my job. I'm at my best when someone says, "do this" and then I do it. I'm a good slave. :0)

Here's what I had today:
  • Green Smoothie (mango, tangerine, grape, spinach)
  • One Lara Bar
  • 1/2 cup or so of Guacamole
  • 2 bowls of Broccoli Mushroom Stir Fry (I added lots of garlic and some green onions)
  • Slice of Cacao Ganache Berry Tarte (I used Raspberries and Blackberries)
  • Tiny slick of Peanut Butter Pie (using left over crust and ganache from the tarte)
The Stir Fry was awesome!! The sauce if very, very good. I let the mushrooms and broccoli marinate most of the day to get them really soft. I'll definitely make it again someday. At night my wife and I indulged with the Cacao Ganache Tarte. It wasn't dense at all and tasted fabulous. It melts in your mouth. I did something wrong making the ganache and so it was kind of grainy, but still very good.

I've been eating a lot of dense food. I think I'm going to eat some lighter foods this next week. You can definitely tell I've lost some weight!! I'm also feeling pretty good. 

Here's what I had today:
  • 3 cups of Red Grapes
  • A cup of Kale Chips (I made version three)
  • One Lara Bar
  • Big bowl of my awesome Guacamole
  • Cup of Cashews
Shouldn't have eaten the cashews...I ate way too many and they've left me feeling a bit sick. I'm not sure why I ate them. Mostly I felt like eating. :0( I'm working on the emotional eating issues, but I'm glad that I'm still RAW and that I'm still really motivated.

Still going strong today. Looking forward to this weekend. I'm planning on making some of my incredible guacamole and also some Broccoli \ Mushroom "stir fry". It's going to be great. My Kale chips turned out. First couple bites were like, "eh", but then after that, I couldn't stop eating them. They fill that savory, salty, greasy craving. I'm going to make another batch tomorrow and modify it a little bit. I love it!!

Here's what I had today:
The salad was good, but a little dry today. I think the raisins started rehydrating or something.  Rachael made a batch of Philip McCluskey's Cauliflower Popcorn. It's still dehydrating, but the couple pieces I tried...good. Very good. I'm definitely looking forward to the finished product.

Today was our first day of 100% Raw and we were AWESOME!! We are so motivated right now and in the RAW groove. The energy is just flowing. I can't describe how wonderful it is to finally have my wife doing this along with me. I am very grateful for her and her decision to come along.

Here's what I had today:
  • Couple bites of a Banana
  • 1/4 cup of Cashew\Raisin mix
  • 1/2 quart of Apple and Spinach juice
  • Generous portion (2 cups or so) of Broccoli Raisin Salad
The Salad was absolutely amazing. We added shredded carrot for some extra color and because I like carrots! Thank you Rawmazing.com!!
