Day 5

Day 5

it’s surprising how much I’ve enjoyed today I’m actually looking forward to tomorrow my plans have changed slightly as my guess we’re not picked up as planned however that wasn’t actually a problem… more company

I have a recipe that I thought of this morning which turned out to be ok which was chia seed pudding with cacao powder and honey it did look like chocolate Frogs spawn… go figure! however it did taste quite delicious me and my son had that with half a banana each my daughter did not like it and Felicity didn’t even try it… 😂

I tried to use fenugreek seeds but it was very bitter however I looked on YouTube and I found a brilliant video that really helped me to understand that I should fragment fenugreek before actual cooking with it.

Its absolutely brilliant how much I’m actually learning at the moment even though we are only on day 5.

I’m really excited about doing different things with fenugreek because I think that they will be a very good alternative sort of couscous.
its also got quite a lot of minerals and vitamins benefits to them as well.
I have posted and try to make sure that people are aware of the video that I have seen on YouTube it’s on healthfasmatters and that’s a Facebook group so pleased add yourself to that group that would be great

I would also add here please.. please comment on any of my blog posts or my video posts. As any advice or even some criticism is good because you help me to make sure I get the most out of the challenge.

I’m hoping to do a live video next week but I want to make sure that there is no interruptions when I do.

I am quite excited at the different emotions I am actually feeling right now. I am not tired I’m not frustrated I’m not irritated and not miserable.
I am so surprised how I feel right now with everything that’s happened in the last couple of days and yesterday being so emotional and crap I just cannot believe the difference it is today literally it is 100% better.

on a different note I’ve noticed that I’ve only had little amounts of food I mean if anyone on an ordinary diets saw what I have eaten today they would assume that my portions were too tiny and that I was pretty much starving myself. Well I can tell you honestly I am not hungry I made a little meal in the kitchen half an hour ago and decided I wasn’t hungry enough to eat it. I’ve had my chia chocolate frogspawn pudding for the breakfast and that was in a very small bowl I then had leftover soup from the other day and that was with a bit of beef. It’s almost 8 pm and I am still not interested in stuffing my face.

the only reason why I’m actually staying this is because at Christmas and even before Christmas I was constantly thinking about what I can eat every second every minute every day it was like I had to have something in my hand to eat no matter what it was. right now I am very satisfied and I don’t actually know why.

I have to say it here now…. If my emotions are to be this great throughout the challenge I will be so grateful and happy. But small steps at a time.

I hold on to day 5s memories and look forward to day 6.
