This will be the last day of my diet sharing. As I start to do more exercise at a higher intensity, my calorie intake will reflect that. I’m going camping for the long weekend tomorrow. I’ll keep updating this blog about my healing journey and life with a mended heart. Stay tuned for more!

Before I went into surgery I bought a bunch of key foods to help in the healing process. Although my regular diet is quite clean, this diet is extra clean with a few extras I wouldn’t normally include. I plan to document this process as I heal.
Breakfast: Homemade energy bars: tinyurl.com/c93yd7h
Lunch: Avocado/Sweet potato/lemon/cilantro dip on raw crackers (flax seeds/sesame seeds/carrots). Peanuts
Snack: Strawberries
Dinner: Garden greens, red pepper, avocado, shrimps, cilantro and nutritional yeast (mustard, garlic, oil, lemon dressing)
Dessert: Chocolate nut/fruit/millet puff cluster
Snack: Mango and Watermelon
