3rd October 2011

It's now the end of the day and it's been quite a nice 'flowing' day what with work, exercise, food intake and mood swings.

I had a lovely salad lunch enjoyed by the river with a few colleagues, where we sat and enjoyed the lovely warm breeze and the soft heat of the mid day sun.

Lunch consisted of a 'Green Energy Boost' Salad which included the following:

Cucumber

Courgette

Spinach leaves

Avocado

Rocket

Green Salad leaves

All topped off with some egg free mayonnaise and juice from half a lemon.

I have noticed one thing and that is since coming off 'normal' bread and switching to either 'no bread' or 'brown gluten free bread', especially at lunch times, I don't have that 'lethargic' feeling any longer.

Previously, as soon as I ate bread, I really wanted to sleep as both my body and eyelids felt heavy.  I don't know whether it was the flour, the yeast or something else, but hand on heart, changing the bread I eat (because I am definitely a bread lover), I have noticed a big difference.

Dinner consisted of 'Vine Leaves' filled with boiled rice, mint, tomato, rocket and soya mince.  My mum definitely makes them much better looking and tastier, but for a first stab of this, I know I did a great job.  This tasty dish is best enjoyed warm (or even cold - so I may have them for lunch tomorrow) and served with delicious greek yoghurt.  To complete the meal you can serve with some toasted bread (of course my recommendation is gluten free toast or warm gluten free roll).

Well now, it's 1956hrs and if you have gotten this far.....THANK YOU and WELL DONE!!!!

I don't promise to include pictures everyday, but most days.  I will also start including proper recipes with the right measurements of all the ingredients. 

What would be nice, is that if you do try any of the dishes that I posted then please please take pictures and post them on here so that I can also get to see your hard work and 'artmanship'!

Well onto my other evening chores and activities before my bed calls for me......until soon - Good night ;0)
