Day #8 from AZ

I can't believe I made it through my first full day sans Sister. Here's what I ate:

-Oatmeal with rice milk and almonds

-huge salad made with romaine and tons of roasted veggies with lemon vinaigrette on the side (from a place called Pita Jungle... can you say divine? When my friends called me to go to lunch I was panicking, but this was the perfect place to go while cleansing... lots of vegan options)

-rice crackers with tofutti spread (this is seriously yum, from TJ's... also, tomorrow I am going to buy some scallions and herbs to stir in, which will make it even fancier)

-corn tostadas (corn tortillias cooked in a little olive oil to make them crispy, TJ's vegetarian salsa refried beans from a can, TJ's pico de gallo, TJ's guacamole, romaine lettuce). These were DIVINE. Alan and I decided we would happily eat this meal even when not cleansing... it was meat free, and delish.

Ideas for tomorrow, anyone? I can't believe I haven't eaten ice cream in 8 full days. That has to be a record for me, I am not kidding. Sometimes I miss it.... but other times I'm fine. How crazy is it that I miss a food as if it were my friend? That is the purpose of the cleanse- to have those realizations. I'm so glad I'm doing this!!
