In fact I will have some learning and future successes to sow based on my modest overeating today. On weekends I tend to let myself eat in a less ordered way to provide contrast with my more structured weekday meals. I think that's okay, though perhaps I should revisit that.
This morning I had yummy oatmeal wtih oats and raisins soaked overnight, heated in the microwave, let sit while showering, then added frozen cherries and blueberries and heated again. Yum!
Then I just ate haphazardly from about 11 am until 5 pm. I was doing major food prep, 6 frozen smoothies for housemate, freezing lots of garden collards, and fixing tomorrow's meals for me and housemate. oh, I did make a nice salad:
This had fresh local spinach and cabbage, really good local red sweet pepper, edamame, nuts and seeds, and D'angou pear vinegar. Just a simple salad but very yummy because of all the fresh local ingredients.
Then I ate a ton of carrots, and also went crazy with the frozen mango which I love, and nibbled on the smoothies. I also had some kiwi berries. Those were yummy. and some sugar snap peas. Those were not great. They haven't been great for a while. It's not the prime season for them I guess and I should stop getting them. I did keep track of everything I put in my mouth and it came up to more than my usual amount of calories. But tomorrow's meals will be less than my usual amount--not on purpose but my fruit isn't ripe yet so tomorrow is lacking in fruit. Today made up for that so I guess it just averages out. I will go shopping tomorrow at a store with lots of fruit samples so I plan to score some there. I will post tomorrow's food tomorrow so I don't confuse myself or you. Here's today's summary:
Total calories 1762, protein 52 g (10%), fat 28 g (14%), carbs 359 g (76%), fiber 74 g.

That salad is beautiful and so is the bowl. Where did you get that lovely bowl?
I am so grateful that you did this challenge. I've lost those last couple pounds that I just couldn't lose. I learned about some food allergens. I'm resolved to ETL for life. I bought some more low-fat vegan cookbooks to give me more ideas. I realized my youngest son was being neglected food-wise and have made a goal to make things he will like that are ETL-friendly. I am taking 2-3 walks per day. I'm being more positive. I feel great and energetic and healthy and vibrant and ready to live life in a happy, healthy way again. Thank you again. My goal to refocus has been met.
I should take a picture of the bowl without salad in it. It is very pretty with lizards. It is from a pottery shop outside of Green Bay, WI. The potter learned how to do it in the southwest, so we're getting southwest pottery in Green Bay.
wow wow wow, those are great accomplishments!
