 Imperfectly Raw - Day 49- 10/8/21 - Nobody's Diet is Perfect

I slept late and was short on time for food prep today. The best thing was having coffee in my new Kate Spade Francophile mug.  “Pardon my French -Tres chic”.

We had veggie cocktails leftover from yesterday, and Travis still had his smoothie from yesterday.  

Veggie Cocktail - Beets, Carrots, Celery, Apple

Lunch:  I made myself a double helping of rolled oats with maple syrup and fresh strawberries. Also had a Kind Bar and Lara Bar.  I did not want my veggie cocktail today. I can’t say I got the results I wanted from this meal.  I felt overfull and sluggish.

My broken root canal tooth is bothering me, and that may be part of the reason I am not feeling so well.  I see the endodontist on Monday.

Dinner was a delicious Taco Salad.  

The salad:  lettuce, chopped onion, diced tomatoes, drained and rinsed black beans, shredded cheese

The toppings:  Morning Star Meatless Crumbles heated up with a package of taco seasoning, avocado, and taco sauce

Served with whole grain Tostido Scoops

I am deconstructing rom the wellness community in an effort to avoid conspiracies and false claims.  Grounding in reality can certainly include concentrating on improved sleep, eating nourishing foods, reducing stress, self-care in conjunction with mental health, and moving the body in order to feel better and stronger.  This is not a competition. Nobody’s diet is perfect.  We can stop fighting ourselves to fit into an ideal that is not truly wellness.
