Day 2!

I'm posting while watching "Forks over Knives."  I know, I shouldn't multitask!  I figure I know it all already.  I'll let you know if it's good motivational material.    It's fun to see pictures of Campbell and Esselstyn as young men.

Here is what I ate today, very similar to yesterday.
brekky:   frozen cherries, blueberries, mango.   raw carrots and kohlrabi.  ate this while preparing the day's food.

lunch:  same beans, greens soup as yesterday.  salad made from cabbage, cucumber, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes from the garden, scallions, seed mixture.  baked sweet potato (actually it's an oriental yam and it seems sweeter to me---really good!).

dinner:  large ripe peach at the co-op after exercising.  It was fantastic.  Then at home, I had the same salad, beans and greens soup, and a piece of fresh sweet corn.    Here's a picture.   That's tomorrow's peach just for show.   I had already eaten tonight's at the co-op.

Everything I ate except the frozen berries was locally grown.  and ever so good!

How you doing?

Day 1, how's it going?

Hi everyone!  I had a fabulous day off from work today where I exhausted myself hiking and mountain biking in the heat and humidity.  I think I'm overflowing with sun happiness and endorphins.  Does anyone else get all happy from being in the sunshine?

Here are my food logs for the day.

Brekky:  some frozen fruit while making housemate's smoothie.  (yummy bing cherries, sour cherries, mango, blueberries).  It quickly frosted over in the humidity:

some raw veggies while making lunch and dinner (I'm still eating brekky here).  (carrots, kohlrabi, sugar snap peas, celery):

Note:  it's probably not good policy to eat while preparing food but I'm allowing it for myself during breakfast because, well you choose your battles and I'm not choosing this one right now.

Lunch and Dinner were 4 course meals (prepared during brekky).  I forgot to snap pictures.  The courses were:  1/2 baked sweet potato, beans and greens, salad, and peach or nectarine.  The peach and nectarine were at perfect ripeness and were super juicy, yum.  

The beans and greens were prepared a few days ago from  beans, wild rice, barley, kamut (wheatberries), eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, collards, kale, herbs from the garden (basil, cilantro, dill, oregano, chives, thyme), mushrooms, mustard (salt-free).  These will last through tomorrow.

The salad would have been perfect with tomatoes instead of apples, so I will do that tomorrow.  It had cabbage (local and really good), apple, cucumber, spinach, basil, yellow summer squash, broccoli (from the garden), seed mixture, and balsamic vinegar.   Tomorrow I'll do the same but with tomatoes from the garden.
