Jumping On But Not Convinced

I am not usually one to fall into trends or jump on the bandwagon (you can hear the "but" coming from a mile away) but this time its a little different. I am sure most of you have seen this Raw Food Detox crap floating around and this whole food combining crock. I have to tell you I am pretty skeptical but I did jump on the band wagon yesterday. It really all makes my head spin and pulls my panties up my crack but I am going to give it a go only because I have a "special event" coming up in a few weeks and I want to be looking my best. I am not going to go into great detail about it because right now I only plan on doing it up until the event. I just wanted to for-warn because my eats are probably going to be a little wacky.

Breakfast yesterday pretty much lasted until lunch. I went to visit my guy "Gym", came home, ate an apple and then had this ginormous bowl of fruit...
After peeing 15 times from the watermelon the little one and I headed off to a free movie for kids at a local theater. Before going to the theater I picked up a huge bag of grapes and a few boxes of blueberries to smuggle in. I honestly think most of these moms use this time as an excuse to shove as much chocolate, candy, 120 oz Icees, and trans fat butter filled popcorn down their faces as possible. It made me feel good that the little one and I were content munching on blueberries and grapes :).

This was my lunch...
Can you see my 2 little homegrown green beans in there?
Followed by this...
Oat bran, coconut butter and the few chia seeds you see were an accident and a no no. Opps!!

Afternoon snack....
Those are romaine wraps, carrot sticks, broccoli and almond butter. Mmmm. I had more almond butter with the left over carrot sticks. Close up of the goodness..
After my snack I started getting ready for my girls night. This time it me and my other stay at home mama friend. We were first timers at a restaurant called Mad Donnas. We both started with some wine...
I ordered the Sweet potato enchilada with green beans....
Kim got the Thai curry salmon...
We shared and I totally broke my food combining rules. It was preplanned though.

We thought about staying for "Drag" bingo or maybe heading next door to the Lipstick Lounge but the party animals that we are we decided to go the grocery store...
Nothing like the produce aisle after a few drinks. Had a great time Kim!! We need to do it more often!

**EDITED TO ADD: Kim's hubby said this reminded him of us. I was laughing my ass off. You have to watch it...

This morning I slept in and I have been munching on fruit in between bathroom breaks. Heres my first bowl...

  • 1 whole peach
  • 1 giant banana
  • strawberries
  • grapes
CONFESSION OF THE DAY: I totally stare at other people carts and analyze them while I am at the grocery store. Watch out I might be looking at yours!! haha
