Hi guys....I hope you're all well. This is my little dude. He's currently on my bedside table gently changing from green to blue to purple. My boyfriend bought him for me last week - a children's lamp from Ikea - so relaxing :-)
I'll be honest with everyone...today has been a bad day. I'm currently sitting in bed, the place that I've spent most of the day. I've slept and cried and slept some more. Yes....today has been pretty awful.
For anyone that has suffered from depression at any point, you'll understand me when I talk about the sadness of a wasted day. Today the sun was shining so brightly, it was warm outside - the perfect day to celebrate - and yet I was in bed feeling blue. I couldn't even force myself to get up and smile at the thought of a great day ahead. Low self esteem, low body confidence, day to day stresses and a tendency to worry have recently started to reak havoc upon my life. I know what is happening to me....I've been here before. In fact, I was on antidepressants for some time....I definately don't want to take them again. I just need to pick myself up.
How do you help yourself feel better on bad days?
On the plus side, throughout this week, I've been gradually transitioning to a higher percentage of raw in my diet. My low mood of late has been making me tired and reach for more caffiene. In the last week I ditched it and have been starting the day with a green juice or smoothie instead. My hydration has improved and my tummy certainly feels more comfortable.
Last night I made a cucmber lasagne and roasted squash squares based on recipes by my favourite twins at
http://www.pure2raw.com/ My boyfriend and I both enjoyed these and we both agreed that it was one of the nicest things we've had in agggeesss! Thankyou girls for once again being an inspiration :-)
Right....more sleep I think. I am officially the incredible sleeping woman x x x
A batch of http://www.pure2raw.com/ gluten free, wheat free, dairy free brownies. YUMMALICIOUS!
A fresh batch of superfood granola - apple, gojis, mesquite, agave, millet flakes, almond flour, whole organic almonds, dates, pear and apple sauce, chia seeds, sunflower and pupkin seeds - all dehydrating as we speak :-)
Sleeeeppppp is calling xoxo
Hey girlies! :-) There's one thing I can say for sure now that my diet consists of mainly raw, living foods....raw days are happy days!! I'm beginning to realise that all the talk about the "raw glow" and the bountiful raw energy is absolutely true. Despite my blip at the weekend I can safely say that the green smoothies are kicking in!! :-) I can feel my brain fog clearing and my mood rising on the moodometer :-)
Breakfast - fig and grape juice. Tres nice!
Ooops! I totally posted everything the wrong way round today. Dinner first, breakfast last :-s

Heyyy! How are you all doing? I hope your day has been a good one. I'm playing catch up a bit from yesterday, when I went on a dental course in Manchester. I had to get up at 5am in order to get there on time - does that time even exist?!
After the course I bagged myself this AMAZIN superfood salad from EAT. I munched it on the train whilst absorbing the pages of my current read, "Fit for Life". So far, I'm loving this book. It's great for veggies, vegans and raw foodists alike :-) Will give you a full review when I'm done.
Dinner tonight was inspired by Pure2Raw's cheezy noodles. I had buckwheat noodles, spinach and red/yellow plum tomatoes mixed with a tahini/nutritional yeast/cider vinegar sauce mix. SCRUM! :-) Girls you did it again - another great recipe idea.

Apple and blueberry socca
My boyfriend came home with some "Cheer me up" pressies on Friday - I know, how lovely :-)
Anyway...I have to get up at 5am to go on a course :-( I'm not too enthralled with the idea as I've been tired recently. Fingers crossed I don't sleep through my alarm!
Heeeyyy!
Chilli and sundried tomato cracker mix
