i took an unexpected out of town trip yesterday. i brought a few whole fruits to eat (tomato, plum, pear, banana) but i still ended up having dinner at a thai restaurant and breakfast at a creperie. so that was tow large non-raw meals in a row. i thought taking a short time off from the diet would be okay, but i still tried to mediate that by choosing wisely. my thai meal had coconut milk, i ordered tofu instead of meat, and it came with a few raw things on the plate.(orange slice, lettuce, cucumber)
for my crepe i chose banana and nutella. i was trying to stick with banana and nuts because i've been allowed to have those raw. i probably should have chosen banana/walnut, but i steered clearly because it came with brown sugar. but there was probably just as much sugar in that nutella anyway.
so the crepe had wheat flour and so did my noodles with dinner. and then i had coffee and milk more than once during the day. when i finally got home i had gained 2-4 pounds and a little intestinal pain. not too terrible, but i figure neither would be there if i'd eaten all raw and avoid caffeine and stress. i'm sure it will dissipate quickly because i'm going back on a high percentage of raw only starting with tonight's dinner.
since i fell off the wagon with the daily food list, i think now is a good time to stop, about two weeks in. but i will still be talking about new things i try or make (plus temptation transgressions.)
