Day 5, CFC

Ahhh, another day in paradise.  Just kidding, but not really.  I feel like this "cleanse" should be so much harder, but it just isn't.  This is a pretty natural way to eat.  Sure, I miss things like butter, bread, cheese and pasta, but there are fine substitutions for those things.  The hardest part of the day is serving up my two year old something that I can't have.  If I just didn't have those things available in the house I don't think I'd miss them as much - honestly!  I'm feeling great, tons of energy and I never get that "I ate too much" feeling.  Me likey.

Breakfast: 20 oz new green drink

Snack: almonds

Lunch: Emilie's black bean burger atop butter lettuce and avocado with olive oil and balsamic

Snack: 2 oranges, 1 kiwi

Dinner: wild sockeye salmon, corn, brown jasmine rice

Dessert: handful of raisins

My good friend Bevan came over tonight for dinner with her son, and Johanna's favorite person.  We chatted while they played, fought and played.  We have been friends since college and I sometimes have to pinch myself that we are now mothers together.  Wild!  What a wonderful journey it has been and we have many more memories to make.  Here are our two buddies.

I am set to run 12 miles in the morning and that doesn't even sound that bad.  What is happening to me?
