full but hungry?

It's day two!

Yesterday's pear/apple salad with cinnamon date sauce was delicious! I enjoyed the celery and cherry tomatoes in my salad last night. I am not so much of a fan of cumin, it's fairly spicy. But that could be because I evidently don't know what a "dash" is...

I've never eaten lettuce plain before but it was so crisp and delicious I enjoyed it. I even had the leftovers for breakfast. I'm trying really hard to eat the amounts I'm suppose to but I'm not quite there yet. I found that raspberries are extremely overpowering in the smoothie mix. As well, water is a necessity if you don't want to be drinking flavoured goop. 

We took Alexis to the waterpark this morning, which was a total bust. The waves were too strong and knocked everyone over so it wasn't safe to have him in the wave pool. The kiddy pool was very tiny and not very warm with no toys to play in so he didn't have fun. We left early and decided to take him to the theme park. He really enjoyed going around on the cars and was laughing and shrieking. I think his favourite part was when he would go past mummy or daddy and see them waving. For whatever reason he found this hysterical.

He was being a gremlin this evening with my dinner. He kept stealing my apple and pear slices! I'm really glad he enjoys fruit as much as he does, he even enjoyed the cherry tomatoes and celery last night. Like me, he wasn't a huge fan of the cacao.

While we were at the mall today my mother insisted I have some "normal food" for lunch. I wandered around the food court twice but couldn't bring myself to eat any of her "normal food". It all looked unappetizing. I also felt guilty even thinking about cheating on myself, even though it's been two days, I've made a commitment and I want to stick to it. This is about my health and the fact that I want to be in good health so I can be around for Alexis for a long, long time.

So I was tempted but did not give in and instead I ate two bananas. 

I feel good today!

Today is just an ordinary day, except it's not.

 40lb of bananas. That's what I bought today. The Asian gentleman I dealt with seem thoroughly confused, but he gave me a case anyway. Then at the till they made me take out each bunch of bananas so they could scan them. This thoroughly annoyed the woman who had the bad luck to take me as a customer. :p

I'm excited for today. I'm going to be trying embracing a new lifestyle known as "fruitarian." I've been doing a lot of reading for a few months now; following a lot of vlogs and pages, and whatever media form there may be. I have really grown to the idea that I want to eat fresh food all the time. Not just food, but fruit. It sounds amazing and perfect and I can't believe that I can do this!  Eat as much fruit as I want and begin to feel vibrant and healthy and alive again!

Tomorrow is another ordinary day, except it's not.

Tomorrow I still start off the day by eating bananas.
