Lost: 2 lb
Total weight loss since day 1: 1 stone 9 lb
Today I was NOT on a diet and my raw way of life went totally out of the window...I have to admit that I now have bellyache as I'm not used to feeling this full and heavy with the cooked food that I've eaten today. I hope I don't have too much of a cooked food hangover tomorrow!
It was my mum's 71st birthday and our friend had made her a lovely vanilla sponge cake with gorgeous vanilla frosting on top! So for lunch at our friend's house we all had vegetable and pasta soup, yummy bread with butter and afterwards, some cheese. Oh...my...God...did I really eat all of that?! And of course, a big slice of cake, washed down with 2 glasses of cava.
My mum & dad...dad may have hold of the cake but it's my mum's birthday!
1 chopped onion
4 small tomatoes (skinned and chopped)
1/2 cup flour
4 slices bread (chopped into breadcrumbs)
100g cashew nuts
100g macadamia nuts
sprinkle of dried herbs of your choice
couple dashes of tamari
Pour olive oil into frying pan, heat then throw onion in, fry for a couple of minutes.
Add the tomatoes. Cook for a couple of minutes. Take off the heat.
Sprinkle the flour in and stir at the same time. Add a little water so that its not too sticky then combine the remaining ingredients and mix together.
Grease a bread tin, place the mixture into the tin. Make sure you run a knife around the sides so that it comes out of the tin easily when done.
Cook for 50 mins on 220ยบ.
I cook this nut roast every Christmas and for people's birthdays...everybody seems to enjoy it. Of course, I made crispy roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, broccoli, cauliflower and thick gravy. It was all extremely yummy.
For dessert - Strawberry Cheesecake, which was shop bought, but if I had a bit more time I would've made a fresh one.
So tomorrow, I am going to fast for 2 reasons; to give my body a rest from all of the cooked food it's having to deal with right now and to shed a couple of pounds which has no doubt gone on today.
It did make a nice change eating what I wanted today, but this was a treat and I don't want to eat regularly like this anymore because my body doesn't react very well to it.
Back in the gym tomorrow...can't wait (not!)
Hasta pronto
