5 hours later, still at home.

I'm better. I had a nice lunch of broccoli, onion and carrots. I made an organic beef stew for dinner, basically with the same ingredients as the lamb stew I made last week. I have plenty left over; I'll have meals for the next few days! I'm drinking my all natural organic carrot-orange juice (actually not too bad, sort of tasty!). These organic juices are expensive, yes, but they are so thick that if you mix half water and half juice together, it's basically like drinking a normal glass of juice. So that little bottle that cost as much as a normal non-organic bottle of juice is really the same amount, provided a mixture with water.

I do have a little headache, but I managed to get a bit of strength training done at home with my yoga mat. It felt good - but every time I do any sort of strength training it is a painful reminder of how much I have lost in the last few months. Seriously. My 30 pound pack from my Europe adventure was nothing to me then - it would be too much to handle right now.

I have found a yummy snack that I do enjoy very much, though. An organic banana with organic honey. When I'm craving something sweet, I usually go for this. The banana fills me up; the honey satisfies my sweet craving. It's a perfect ending to my dinner.

The organic raw honey has grown on me. At first I didn't like the taste of it, and I didn't care for the pieces of honeycomb that were floating around the top of the jar. I have come to love the crunchy "surprises" in my honey, and I like the natural sweetness that the honey gives my food. Screw Splenda. I love this stuff.
