Day 6

As you can see, I am one day behind. That's because by the time I've worked until 9 pm I am completely fried and the thought of logging on is not appealing. Yesterday I got worse, my first cold in 20 years. I guess the sugar, meat, alcohol etc. was keeping me together. My vegan self is not doing well. Could this be part of a detox? Who knows? I will, however, persevere and finish my 30-day challenge.

Breakfast: My usual protein drink this time with pineapple and parlsley (chlorophyll)

Lunch: Leftover Spicy Tomato Soup (recipe on Day 5) with vegan sour cream and crispy tortilla strips and an arugula salad

Dinner: Potato-Apple Latkes with vegan sour cream. Delicious and a little high fat but

comforting to my cold.

Potato-apple Latkes

3 c. shredded, unpeeled potatoes

1 c. shredded, peeled apple (I used green because of the extra enzymes)

1/2. t. salt

dash pepper

1/4 c. (or so) of gluten free flour

3 T. canola oil

Mix first 5 ingredients thoroughly. Fry in oil. Serve with sour cream

I am, so far, not missing anything. Occasionally I see some fried chicken or a crisp glass of icy chardonnay and get wistful but no serious cravings and no serious withdrawals. I am not even fantasyzing about my first "meat" meal. I think I will eat less fish and chicken when I complete this challenge and pork or beef only rarely.
