Maker's Diet - Phase One - Days 4-7

Work has been pretty busy so I haven't really wanted to be on my home computer that much.  So here is a general list of what I've been chomping on the past few days.

I have decided that goat's milk products are not for me.  Other than *soft goat cheese, the other products pretty much taste like a sweaty sock out of someone's gym bag.  There's an odor and taste left in your mouth that I just can't get past.  Thank goodness I'm not allergic to cow's milk because I don't know if I could get used to goat's milk.  *Soft goat cheese is great in scrambled eggs.

I've had a morning or two where I've woken up feeling a little nauseous; which I guess is the toxins fighting their way out of my system.  But a cup of 'joe on the way to work gets rid of the feeling.  Then today I had a big drop in energy about 2:30pm and had to nap for an hour or so.  I have the occasional separation anxiety from bread/starches.  But if I can get past my 14th day I'll be able to add some favorites back in (cow's milk products, sliced turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, beans, store bought all-natural salad dressings, and more fruit options).  One thing I haven't gotten into yet, since I still have some pages to read, is the daily prayer and one partial fasting day.  So I'm hoping to finish up my reading and start that Sunday.  Plus, I think I would enjoy the biblical essential oils (breathing them in each morning/massaging into palms or feet).

BREAKFAST

• hard-boiled egg w/ apple-chicken sausage & blueberries
• scrambled eggs w/ mushrooms, onion, goat cheese & turkey bacon

LUNCH

• tuna or salmon salad over a bed of baby spinach salad w/ cheddar goat cheese & home-made vinaigrette dressing
• Chik-fil-a grilled chicken salad (minus the cheese) w/ home-made vinaigrette dressing
• Zoe's protein plate (slaw, grilled chicken breast, oil and vinegar dressing, and feta-which is probably not on my food's to enjoy list-ha)

SNACK

• celery sticks dipped in raw almond butter w/ a swirl of honey (so yummy!)
• raw almonds & blueberries
• goat's milk plain yogurt w/ honey, stevia, vanilla extract, frozen strawberries (gross!  nothing could make this stuff good to me.  so i had it one day and swore it off after that)
• cow's milk kefer w/ blueberries, stevia, cinnamon, vanilla or almond extract, honey (amazing!!!!  sure cow's milk kefer is not on my list to enjoy until Phase 2.  but I couldn't find goat's milk kefer.  and i'm worried about not getting some calcium these first two weeks.  kefer is between milk and yogurt.....think smoothie consistency)

DINNER

• stir-fry veggies
• tuna salad scooped up with celery sticks
• scrambled eggs w/ mushrooms, onion, goat cheese & turkey bacon
• panzanella salad (minus the bread) and coconut chicken soup

BEVERAGES

• water
• natural sparkling water w/ lime
• coffee w/ half-n-half & stevia

Maker's Diet - Phase One - Day 3

Woke up feeling mildly icky today.  It was that "something doesn't feel right" type of feeling.  But I was good after a little coffee during my drive to work.  This must be those "detox" feelings you get when your system is being cleansed.  Oh well....I survived Day 3!

Proverbs 3

Trust the LORD

 ¹ My son, don’t forget my teaching, 
but let your heart keep my commands; 
² for they will bring you 
many days, a full life, and well-being. 
³ Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you. 
Tie them around your neck; 
write them on the tablet of your heart. 
⁴ Then you will find favor and high regard 
in the sight of God and man. ⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding; ⁶ think about Him in all your ways,
and He will guide you on the right paths.


Breakfast:
coffee w/ half-n-half and stevia
