An unusual day...
I had a very unusual day yesterday. I woke up really tired and achy. It got worse as the day went on. The whole day, I just had mango, thai noodle soup, homemade muffin and apple juice. None of that went well. I was so desperate for dear hubby to get home since the middle child was all over me after her afternoon nap. I stayed in bed pretty much the whole day, getting up just made me dizzy and such. When hubby got home around dinnertime (which your guess is right- there's no dinner), he fixed the kids something to eat, and gave me the last of the kids' peaches in strawberry-banana gel cup, which I happily shared with the 2 little ones. With good soothing music in the background, hubby got me a cup of Peach Rooibos tea. I don't know if it was the annointed music or the tea or the combination of both- but I started to feel better right away!
None of the people that we know that we had contact with over the week was sick. But then again, we were out a few times in public places, too. This is the second time this winter that I've had what seemed to be a "one day-flu". And I never got anybody else sick! Hmmm. Have any of you had this? I really suspect it had something to do with what I eat.
To give you a little background, I started cooking low-fat (to no fat) vegan last summer. We used to dine out a lot, but after this lifestyle change, found ourselves desiring to eat out less and less. Well, this week, we did quite a few of that (eating out with friends, family, and acquaintance). Greasy food, etc. etc.- just a bunch of stuff that made the food taste good but normally you won't find in kaivegan's kitchen. (Must be sodium overload!)
Anyway, I am noticing that I am more in tune with my body now. (Dear hubby says the same thing of himself.) I pretty much know now what food does certain things to me, and it's just a matter of me knowing where the limit is.
As for today- it is a better one! I woke up energized and refreshed, ready to face the day. Healthy food/s really have its rewards, and I love the feeling that I get not just from eating it, but the outcome of it.
