Breaking the fast: Day 4

Brekkie: half a mango
Snack: a piece of my hazelnut chocolate and some a cheezy kale chip
Lunch: half of a Caesar salad, 1.5 slices of the Amatriciana pizza from Osteria Coppa in San Mateo.  It has: Guanciale, Tomato, Red Onion, Chilies, and Pecorino.
Snack: 1.5 nutella filled churrito that I baked, and half a vegan cookie from Trader Joe's
Dinner: half a mango and half a cup of oragnic peach yogurt


HA.  Day Four.  I wouldn't really consider this a part of the easing out period since I believe that I am out of the woods now and can eat my old variety of foods now.  And I went on a splurge today!  I had pizza and chocolate!  All in one day.  Hurray!  I did make a mistake though.   Although I was splurging today, I made a commitment to try and stay vegetarian for as long as possible.  My sister and I ordered an "Amatriciana" pizza which didn't appear to have anything from the meat department.  


Oops.  


Should've asked our server.   Apparently "Guanciale" is bacon.  Straight up bacon.  HA.  My sister ate the bacon but I pulled it off and left it on my plate.  No matter.  It was delicious.  Truly.  I also made some nutella filled churritos.  I HAD to make them.  I found the recipe during the latter portion of my fast and I knew I needed to have them in my mouth.  I made about 24 but I only ended up eating 1 and half.  It was delicious but thanks to the fast, I beleive I have broken (at least temporarily) my habit of scarfing down all and everything chocolate in sight.  I was really mindful of what I was tasting and it gave me a sense so satisfaction.  So much so, that I didn't feel the need  to eat any more.  Here's a picture of them:



Day Four.  I think I'm good now.  Let the (healthy) eating of real food commence!
