Eat Light, Be Light

Eating one step away from the sun

Day 16

Taught class all day again.

Green smoothie for breakfast (I am sort of addicted to those at the moment. Except as of this morning I exhausted my stores of frozen bananas and I just forgot to get more at the store, so I am going to have to figure out something else for breakfast tomorrow.

Came home hungry at lunchtime because I forgot to pack a mid-morning snack and had a carton of organic butternut bisque soup and some rice crackers. Then back to work and forgot to bring a snack again.

We went out for dinner to a Mexican restaurant. They had a special quesadilla: portabello, spinach, onion and goat cheese. I really wanted the goat cheese. But I asked for avocado instead.

They put too much avocado in it. I was disappointed. I was wishing I had it with goat cheese instead. BUT I decided to stay true to the experiment.

At least I enjoyed the rice and beans and chips and salsa.

After dinner, I went grocery shopping. And – this was weird – I was actually KIND OF GROSSED OUT BY THE MEAT DEPARTMENT. I hadn’t expected that. So not only do I not want meat, but now it’s sort of repulsive even. 

I have been being a little slack with the sweet tooth thing, which is something I have had no problem with in the past. I was off sugar for most of the  year, and even off maple syrup and honey for most of this past summer.

I’m not pigging out on anything, but definitely having a little sweetness every day. Yesterday I had some maple sugar candy after lunch and after dinner. Today I had some of those Hail Merry macaroons.

I wish I could eat just one or two at a time but they are so good! 4, 5 – occaisionally even the whole bag in one sitting. Well, I’ve only done that once so far – hopefully I won’t again!
