More Granola (Cereal)

I was informed by my hubby this morning that we were out of the granola and I had to make more. I think the family would say Alicia's Mom's Granola is there favorite recipe so far.

The chocolate event I went to yesterday wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. For one thing the cookies were made from cake mixes and just weren't that appealing to me. There was also less chocolate than originally planned. I had a little dark chocolate with me and in times of weakness, I indulged. Better than the alternative, plus it was wonderful.

Today I'm searching for a Falafel recipe. My hubby has a craving.

Wish Me Luck Today

I will be surrounded by chocolate today from 9 to 4. Before I started The Kind Diet, I volunteered to help at a Chocolate Workshop for kids. Yikes. They'll be cookies, chocolate play dough, chocolate painting & more. I'm packing a delicious vegan lunch and planning on being good.

OK, Confession Time

My daughter and I ran errands this afternoon, and the next thing I know I have a handful of chewy Lemonheads. I've never tried these, they taste like sour jelly beans, but I reasoned they weren't meat or dairy. Within minutes I had a headache and a not so good feeling. I knew better, but it's truly amazing what you can rationalize. One thing that is good about this experience was how fast my body responded to the offending food item. In a previous life when I ate something naughty I finished it. Between me and my kids, we have well over 1/2 an uneaten bag left. Victory!

Feeling a Little Better

I felt much less hungry this morning. Though I did nibble on my second piece of banana bread for most of the morning. The tea was greatly appreciated, since my throat was feeling a little sore.

Starting to Think Clearer

I woke up this morning feeling much better. I think I ended up having a few things yesterday that may have contained dairy, dairy is sneeky, but I'm not feeling so gross today. This morning I'm baking Banana Bread. I'm adapting a recipe I created a few years ago. If it turns out well, I'll post it.

I've also created a twitter account to use as a food/feeling log.

Not Hungry

Well, I had another 1/2 cup of oatmeal and still feel the same, so it was not hunger. I think it is the change and absence of coffee. I guess I have to endure. More water.

Hungry Already?

OK, I'm a little concerned. I didn't eat much oatmeal, about 1/2 cup, but I'm already feeling a little hungry. I haven't read anywhere that this should feel like deprivation, so I'm going to eat a little something. I'm also going to drink lots of water to see if that is it. I didn't have any coffee this morning either, so who knows. Usually I eat more protein in the morning, so it just make take sometime to adjust.
