    I've found it really hard to complete the daily food challenges I set myself. I challenged myself to eat one meal a day with all organic ingredients and two meals a day without processed foods. There's not been a single day where I've managed to complete both of these. Partly because I have already at home a lot of food and to go out and buy organic food instead of eating the food I already have seems in a way counter-productive. Secondly, while I really don't eat much processed food it's really tough to avoid not having any at all. Today for dinner I made rice paper wraps with vegetables, but then I had a sauce which was processed. I've definitely become more aware of what I'm eating, where it's come from and what processes it's been through.

    Today is the first day of the challenge that I didn't "eat all my meals without distractions" I watched TV while I ate dinner. Pretty good though so far and I'm enjoying the challenge. Normally I'm really busy and so look at meal times as an ideal way to multi-task and kill two birds with one stone. I think this will become something I do often after this challenge is up.
