A Bit of This and That

I went to my spin class this morning. Feels real good to start my day off sweating:-) I then had to go to the dentist for what ended up being a 2-hour-long consult....I was famished by the time I left there.
Got home, and the kids hadn't eaten since breakfast(4.5 hrs earlier). So, my day has pretty consistently revolved around food since I've been home. They had tuna and crackers for lunch. I made some salsa, and snacked on that. Then, I got some granola going and made pumpkin fluff bowls topped with graham cracker crumbles. That was their after-lunch snack.
Dinner is going to be brown sugar Meatloaf for them. I'll probably chop up some avocados to mix with my salsa. I'll munch on that at the table with them. Oh yeah, and some steamed green beans.I'm trying to stick to high-raw with focus on whole foods. Seafood and meats are not the centerpiece of my meals, however, they are consumed when I feel I need the gravity shifted :-)
I have recently come across long-term raw vegans who are now consuming high quality meats with grass-fed butter and free range eggs. That makes me feel so much better. I don't know why I feel I need validation from testimonials like theirs, but I just have more peace about the matter of eating those types of foods knowing others feel the same way I have felt over the past 5 years. I have yearned to go one way or the other, not every really knowing which way the ideal way is. I believe in the teachings of Weston Price. I've been an advocate since 2005 for his teachings. But, upon crossing paths with the raw foods lifestyle, I've also felt strongly pulled in that direction. Being so vastly different ways of eating, the enigma of wanting both beliefs systems incorporated into my life has plagued me. But, knowing others who've gone on before me have comfort of yo-yoing both, I feel much more peaceful myself.
So, off to make meatloaf...and salsa...and green beans....a little of this and a little of that.
