Day 2

I woke up this morning feeling incredibly achey, sore and exhausted. I don't think this was necessarily the reboot though. At the moment I'm living in a place called, Gooseberry Hill and I'm quite near the bottom of it. So, whenever I go out there is heavy duty walking going on and clearly I'm unfit. This resulted in me waking up feeling pretty bad. But, I didn't have a terrible headache like I was expecting so I started off well. I began my day by having hot water with lemon followed by a delicious apple berry bake. I have always found it hard to enjoy breakfast so the apple berry bake has been a real treat and I'm very sad it's the last day I will have it. But, I think once I have finished my reboot it may become a bit of a regular at breakfast time. So, I started off the day feeling much more positive because I ate something in the morning!

A little later on I made myself a green juice. I was dreading having this juice because it had - yup you've guessed it - kale! And celery. Altogether the ingredients were: kale, celery, cucumber and pear - pretty disgusting wouldn't you say? I gritted my teeth when I put the glass to my lips and surprisingly it wasn't absolutely appalling. It just had quite a strong hint of celery which isn't an overwhelming flavour anyway. Due to it not being so sweet it didn't make me feel sick like the carrot juice did yesterday.

I have decided to post my photos of the food that I make on Instagram to get into living the reboot more, along with my blog. Quite a few interesting people on there have liked my photos so I decided to check out theirs. The most interesting being a girl under the name of, weekdayvegan. She has some delicious looking vegan recipes that just look so tasty. Which made me think at the end of the 15 days I'm going to try and stick to a mainly vegan diet and to try and keep eating a rainbow a day. I feel really inspired, which has given me more confidence with this whole reboot thing.

Although...

Later in the afternoon it was time to make raw carrot soup. I had to juice about 20 carrots which was easy but, I don't have a blender and I was meant to mince the ginger and purée the avocado. It didn't down as intended. I was chopping the ginger up into tiny pieces thinking' "god this  is going to be terrible" and the avocado was being dealt with in the same way. Resulting in very firm bits of avocado and ginger looking kind of gross. I tried mashing all the ingredients together, putting it through the juicer, using a tenderiser thing. Nothing worked and it looked very lumpy. But, I had to eat it. My boyfriend joined me on this one. Throughout the ordeal we stared at each other in silence grimacing at the sweet gingery ness of the whole thing. The combination of thin carrot juice and lumpy avocado and ginger was appalling. It was just too sweet. We united in racing towards the bottom of the bowl together. Afterwards we both felt very sick. I do think if we had, had the blender though it would have been better. I'm so glad I didn't add any honey!

So, for dinner it is squash stuffed with sautéed mushrooms and spinach. After 2 and half hours (it's now just before 10pm) I'm finally sitting down to eat dinner. The oven takes forever to heat up so that's pissed me off quite a lot. A good thing though is that my dinner is pretty tasty but I was very jealous of Robbie's food! The weird thing about eating so many vegetables and there's no fat or meat is, I don't want it as much. When I'm eating it I don't turn into a pig and want to wolf it down like with other food. It's probably good because, it means I eat my food slower, so I digest it better and I might conquer my battle with candida, which is what probably created the monster eater that I was before.

I feel much better today even though there were some really annoying things happened, that wasn't the diets fault. That was the lack of kitchen utensils. I have realised that I need to drink more water, I've noticed, I keep getting headaches and the lack of H2O is probably not helping me. I'm hitting the coconut water tomorrow, I'm seriously not looking forward to it. I'm pleased with my day 2 so, I'm feeling reasonably relaxed about day 3.
