More Cleansing...

I had to miss the milonga this Saturday, because my body had been doing some major cleansing since Friday night...I still don't know if this is a healing crisis or a reaction to Argentinian bugs but I have been living here 2 years now so I think it's a detox.

I've lost way too much weight lately. My pre-baby weight was 53/54 kilos. My heaviest during pregnancy was 68 and my stable low during intense breastfeeding was 50-52. However raw brought me down to about 48 and then several boughts of vomiting/diarrhea on a weekly basis have taken me to an all time low of 45. Not good. Alot is dehydration.

As a result, since yesterday I have begun to eat plenty of nuts as I am still feeding my son and need to get the weight back on while providing him with rich milk. I'm still within 80-10-10 because I have kept to well below the 10% fat for the last month so it all evens out. Today I must have eaten 150g of almonds/walnuts and feel better for it.

It's hard to get avocados here, in fact hard to find a good source of everything so monomeals are rare for me. I have been eating cherry/grape tomatoes by the kilo for the past few days however, and this is my current fave. One of those ecstatic foods, for me.

Thank the Lord for the underrated tiny tomatoes!
