Yes, ladies and gents. Today we got solid food. Now, you might not think that's any thing to get excited about, but after three days of drinking breakfast, lunch, and dinner, well, think again. For breakfast, we had millet porridge. This is not one of my favorites. I don't like the coconut milk/orange juice concoction that gets poured over and mixed in with it. I would rather have a little clarified butter and a little salt (bet you didn't see that one coming, did you..*wink, wink*). I ate what I could out of the one and a half cups that I was supposed to eat. On the other hand, Mom liked it. She even added the blueberries. I've never been one for fruit in my cereal whether it's hot or cold.
Lunch was a green smoothie and Hockey Pucks. Yes, you read that right. Hockey Pucks. The recipe makes it sound like hearty carrot cake, but the truth is, they are quite bland. Even with cinnamon. We did get to use a little clarified butter (and it's not a cheat, either!), so we used a little. Truth be told, it could be a decent little snack if there was a little salt in it to perk up the flavor. To me they were ok. Mom said she felt about the Hockey Pucks like I felt about the porridge.
Dinner was a baked sweet potato and Purple Heaven. No. We didn't eat my wardrobe. Purple Heaven is a cabbage salad similar to Chinese Cole Slaw. Only without the green onions. Or the rice noodles. Or the almonds. Instead, it has golden raisins and raw pumpkin seeds. The dressing is really good, too. I wouldn't mind eating that outside of this detox.
Oh, yes. I almost forgot. I've lost two more pounds. Since starting the Starch Solution and then this detox that makes a total of 57 pounds altogether. I am just a little over 40 pounds shy of my half way point. Once I hit that half way mark. I will have fulfilled my part of the bargain I made with my Dad before he passed away.
He knew I needed a new car so he made a deal with me. If I would lose weight, when I got to my half way point, he would give me a good down payment on a new vehicle. My Mom honored that agreement, albeit a little earlier than was agreed upon. Mainly because I needed a vehicle that had working air conditioning and brake lights. I regret that it took me so long to do anything about it because now he can't see the progress I've made. Oh, how I long for that great day to be united with my Heavenly Daddy and reunited with my earthly Daddy. Great day in the morning. Amen?
Well, the moon is rising and the day is dwindling down. Enough for today...rest well all. Happy Sabbath. Shabot Shalom.
