Alrighty, here we go. I need to take some pictures tonight to post on the Day Zero page, although I am very much NOT looking forward to seeing my flabby, cheesy, stretchmarky self published on the internet. Still, it must be done.
I’m not all raw, obviously. I do have some stuff in the fridge that I want to finish up - call it my cheapskate side. We did pack up two large boxes of stuff to take to the food bank. They’ve seen a huge increase in need this year, which is tragic. I am grateful that I have the means to even try this.
Anyway, this is probably not really the best day to start this little project, but I’m sure I could find an excuse regardless of when I actually began. The excuses for today are …
- My in-laws are flying into town tonight. My Italian, love to eat and cook in-laws.
- My husband is having somewhat major surgery Wednesday, which is stressful. We’ll find out Wednesday night if he still has the use of his right arm.
- The holidays are coming up. Oh, and we have about thirty pounds of Halloween candy in our house (that’s actually not that big of a deal, it hasn’t been a temptation so far).
- It just seems so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard.
By the way, that chocolate almond pudding in the list below is definitely an acquired taste. I really doubt that I could get my boys to eat it. Not the older ones, anyway. I don’t mind it - the taste is fine, it’s the texture that is a teensy bit off.
I didn’t get much sleep last night. We went up to bed around 9:00 but I started reading and then my oldest son started throwing up. He mentioned a sore belly in the evening but was able to keep stuff down until about 9:00. Poor kid was in there every ten minutes until at least midnight, and then the best exit point flipped for a while and he had the runs, then I heard him retching some more about about 3:45 AM. I did sleep between about midnight and 3:45 but I felt really bad about it, but not bad enough that I didn’t drift back off until about 6:00 AM.
I should mention that I’m probably a little extra bloated today. Today was the first day of my monthlies, y’see. I usually pop on a couple of pounds the day before I start, but it drops off pretty quickly.
So … I’m a bit tired, but certainly not hungry. So far so good.
