Only 4 days to go! I never thought it would go this fast. Tonight we had salmon and mashed sweet potatoes. We had chicken and berries for lunch and a smoothie, eggs, and ezekiel muffins for breakfast. Also lots of fruit as snacks in between.
We continue to try to diversify our diets. This is the hard part. I've talked before about settling into routine and thus limit our diets. I've found that since we have expanded to more grains, it's really easy to eat those to fill up instead of more fruits and veggies. My body still knows that I'll feel more full on a piece of ezekiel bread than vegetables. But I have noticed I like the feeling of the latter better. Even with ezekiel bread, potatoes, or corn chips, I get more of a "ate too much" feeling than just eating for pleasure like a grapefruit.
The other hazard as we approach the end is that there is more cheating going on. Not big-time, but little here and there. Like white rice ( a no-no anytime). While I highly recommend biblical whole foods eating for everyone, I still think that as long as you stay away from processed foods (including white flour, sugar) you will be OK if you are healthy. But there are definitely foods that some might consider un-processed but are, like baked goods (even home-made) white rice, breads, buns, ketchup, etc.
Well, we will continue to plod onward! It's also easy to let the kids cheat more than we do, because it's easier.
I haven't really been looking for a source of raw dairy products, either. This has been difficult.
