on my frist dinner as macro i must say it was an exausting day having to find all the right foods to last a week. I end going to 4 different stores. I am so proud of my 4 year old son he had happy spirits through out the whole day.

on the menu which i am following from Naturally Healthy Gourmet by Margaret Lawson.
Carrot and Oat soup
Basic Azuki bean
pressure-cooked Brown rice and Millet
Hijiki with ume dressing
steamed greens

I had not cook as long as i did tonite in a long time. I am happy to know and rest a sured that thoe it took alot from me. I am eating healthy therefore no guilt.
I grwed up vegetarian and some time in college I change for not reason to western diet but I had all ways had that little voice telling me why. in term turned in to guilt and then in health issues.
now i am here trying to get back to was true to me.
i am greatfull dh is doing this change with me. frist time for him I hope he finds it true to his nature too.

second day,
i started well as the day got long my energy seem to be less and less by the time dinner came i was ground. it seem i spend the whole day preparing food am lunch snack for my little one and last the feast for dinner. I got a terrible migraine it took all night for it to go away.

third day,
breakfast was promising lunch was hard i was not hungry wich made dinner worst still was not hungry. I find myself halfing all the recipes as i am having too many leftovers. where can i find the so called arame other than online? it is a frustrating day over all i am having lots of pain
i should be more positive I am glad for my family whom kindly enjoy what i had prepared ds likes ume dressing so vegies are so much fun for him

the sun shall rise and i will be compasioneted with myself to promote healing.

Hi Secretsis.

It is nice to read about your new macrobiotic adventures, please keep writing them for all of us. But I was thinking that maybe you would rather post them in your own macro blog that we give free to anyone that wants one at CyberMacro.

Deeann,

I'm only guessing, probably best to ask Margaret, but I have often used oats as a thickener in soups, and I believe that might be what she is doing there, no??

Secretsis, I would love to know how it's going - and you don't have to whitewash it - I know all journeys have their ups and downs, as long as you can keep spiraling up, it's working. How wonderful to have your family all sharing this adventure with you.
