I started my modified natural hygiene diet today because another studio potter lost 8 lb in 3 weeks by eating vegetable, fruit and nuts. This also means that I can't eat any bread. If you know me well, you would know that I LOVE bread, any shape or form. Wherever I travel, the first thing for me is to look for a a good bakery. I can eat a whole baguette with good butter and honey in less than 30 minutes. I don't know what I have to say to convince you but I absolutely adore bread, the ultimate comfort food for me ( the more I write about bread, the more I want to eat them now).
For breakfast, I had a whole big bowl of fruit with melon, apple, grapes, strawberry ( only apple is tasty, the others are just not the right seasonal fruit, bland is what I would describe those fruits) and a cup of coffee with water ( I am not supposed to have coffee but if I have to give up bread, then at least I get a cup of coffee, ok. I give up cream, so I used water instead).
By the time, I got to the studio (2 hours after I had the breakfast), I was starving. I had a small bag of nuts and dry fruit which was allowed under this diet. And I made myself a cup of tea. During the 3 hour class, I kept smelling this amazing baking coming from somewhere. Two and half hours into the class, I had to leave the room because the scent is so intoxicating.
I had my lunch which had cabbage, seaweed, seitan, and pepper. After the lunch, I think I don't need to see the cabbage again for another 3 months. Then I found out what that amazing smell coming from. The studio is not far from the Tom Cat Bakery. Tom Cat Bakery makes this amazing baguette and I used to get it all the time near my apartment . And because the weather was warm enough to open the studio door, so today was the first time I smelled this wonder scent. Oh God, I would like to have a loaf of baguette now.
At the end of the day, I did not have any bread and I feel pretty bad. Tomorrow morning, when I weight myself, I better lose some pounds :)
Oh, the guave in the picture is from my pottery mate who knows I love this great tropical fruit!! What I day.
