Day 10 of my "diet." Here's my food log, weight, exercise, and thoughts.
breakfast, 8-10 am: about 1/10th serving of housemate's smoothie, cooked veggies, nibbled on food while preparing salads for the day.
Lunch, about 12:30: big salad topped with homemade soy yogurt. Fruit today was strawberries, blackberries and cantaloupe.
Lunch #2, about 3:30, big salad topped with seed mixture and d'angou pear vinegar.
snack after yoga and grocery shopping, 7 pm: carrots (1 lb); oh, and a friend was excited to offer me a piece of carob spiralina energy squares, because, she said "you can eat these!" I decided, sure, I can eat one. It was good actually, I'd eat it again. It's kind of junky but I ate a small enough amount not to worry about.
dinner, 8 pm: sugar snap peas (1/3 lb), big salad topped with seed mixture and d'angou pear vinegar. some orange remainders after making housemate's OJ.

Thoughts/notes:
- Tuesday night I get home late, so I decided to do my food prep this morning instead of last night and then did my exercise later in the day.
- yea, the scale finally moved. I just need to be patient. I'm eating plenty and not feeling deprived.
- I don't like my cooked, frozen, then thawed veggies. too soggy! I'll probably finish these off, then come up with another way to get my onions, mushrooms and cooked veggies.
- I am loving these salads even though I'm kind of embarrassed that I'm eating 3 giant ones per day. Maybe I'll just add my veggies to these when I run out of the frozen ones. Things will change up again when sweet corn season arrives, but that's still a month off.
- I got more of this really good vinegar today. The store is called vom Fass. The vinegar is made in Germany. It's expensive but, well, I don't have many vices left, to my dismay, so I guess this can be one. I got the Waldburg star date vinegar and the Apple Waldburg vinegar. Man is it good! I like to marinate my kale and cabbage in the date vinegar.
