Day 12 of my "diet." Here's my food log, weight, exercise, and thoughts.
breakfast, 8 am: about 1/8th serving of housemate's smoothie, big salad topped with seed mixture, homemade soy yogurt. Fruit today (in all the salads) was strawberries, banana, and blackberries.
Lunch, about 12:45 pm, big salad topped with seed mixture and d'angou pear vinegar.
dinner, 6 pm: big salad topped with seed mixture and d'angou pear vinegar.
snack, 8 pm: carrots (1 lb), sugar snap peas (1/2 lb)
snack, 8 pm: carrots (1 lb), sugar snap peas (1/2 lb)
Nutritional information:
Calories: 1407; protein 71 g; fiber 93 g.
Weight: 129.2
Exercise: mountain biked 2 hours; bike commute 7 miles.
Thoughts/notes:
- I added lightly cooked asparagus and mushrooms to my salads last night so I wouldn't have to cook veggies this morning. It was very good. I'm loving these salads. I expect it must sound weird to eat the same thing for all 3 meals, but I like it and it's relatively easy.
- I ate my full oz of seeds today. I'm not sure I think my preferred amount of 2/3 oz (2 Tbsp) is so bad, especially when trying to lose weight.
- any day that involves mountain biking and no broken bones is a very good day

I'm curious about your shopping routine. I think you said that you shop daily. Do you buy the food for the next day? What's on your shopping list?
Hi Kristi,
I ride by my co-op every day on my way home from work. they have a small parking lot so give a 5% discount if you are on a bike--on weekdays. so I stop on my way home from work every day and get tomorrow's groceries. when I get home I do my food prep for tomorrow. on weekends I drive there and get heavy items like oranges, soy milk, grape juice (for housemate's smoothies), broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, anything long lasting and heavy I can think of. so then on weekdays I'm mostly just buying one day's worth of lettuce, fruit, veggies, mushrooms, carrots and sugar snap peas.
