Day 16 of my "diet." Here's my food log, weight, exercise, and thoughts.
pre-exercise: about 1/6th serving of housemate's smoothie. a few carrots.
snack, 10 am: the rest of my carrots (1 lb total). I decided to wait until noon to finish breakfast and join housemate in her lunch.
late breakfast, noon: 1 lb strawberries and homemade soy yogurt. sugar snap peas (1/3 lb)
lunch, 2:30 pm: big salad topped with veggies. The veggies were asparagus, onion, mushrooms. salad is romaine, cabbage and kale (marinated in date vinegar), topped with seed mixture and apple vinegar.
dinner, 6 pm: same as lunch.

Thoughts/notes:
- sorry I was a little cranky last night. I missed my meditation and flute playing. :) I have a solution already. Holly gave me the idea from an email exchange we had. It occurs to me that I don't have to get in all the GOMBBS (Greens Onions Mushrooms Beans Berries Seeds) that Dr. Fuhrman recommends every single day. He has said that himself. I can eat onions and mushrooms one day and none on another. I can have one veggie one day and another the next. Also I think I've been going overboard with the veggies. I could make it easy on myself and have more sweet potatoes and grains--easy to prepare and a fair amount of calories. So I think in general I'll make some veggies and grain/starch in the morning for lunch, and make a salad when I get home for dinner. If I won't be home for dinner, I'll make salads for both lunch and dinner in the morning. I'll see how this works out
- I love my Tuesday morning bike ride. I saw 2 sandhill cranes right by the bike path. so much to see in the city and countryside.
- dinner was a little early because I have a meeting tuesday nights.
