Day 20-It Was A Good Run

To be completely honest, I feel really good about making it this far. I feel so much healthier than I did three weeks ago, & have so much more energy.

This is a fast you have to want to do. After Seth finished his at day 15, I no longer wanted to fast anymore. It was a great run, and it was great while it lasted, but for me, "That's all she wrote".

I worried a little bit about "reentry", because i've read some horror stories about the first time a fasting person eats cheese or anything like that...let's just say I wanted my first real meal to be a lasting one...

So this is what I chose:

^That's pretty much all veggie. Mmm. Cucumbers, red peppers, carrots, cabbage, onions. All good.

Tonight's supper was enchiladas, and I knew that if I ate it, I'd regret it, so after two bites, I decided to eat my lunch leftovers.

I still fully intend to juice at least once a day. Breakfast especially. (I'm not usually a big breakfast eater).

For us, doing this fast caused us to look at the things we were accustomed to eating, and reevaluate. I can't really speak for Seth, but I know it also gave me a greater appreciation for a lot of the micro-nutrient foods. However, while we were eating (drinking rather) all good things, our kids were still eating junk. You see, when you're trying to avoid eating foods, it can sometimes be really hard to prepare it for others. Sometimes. So our kids were left with convenience foods. Pizza, mac n cheese, etc. Not that they were complaining :). Now that we're all masticating again, we will be trying to prepare healthier meals. The challenge will be finding things our kids will actually eat.

Does anyone have any recipes that might fit the bill?
