I woke up feeling pretty great which was surprising considering it was still really overcast after the thunderstorms we had last night. I don't usually sleep well through storms, especially with Jeff gone. I noticed one thing right off, my wedding ring, which had gotten embarrassingly snug, felt a little looser on my finger. Can one day of no salt consumption really make that much of a difference? Who knows, but I don't think it's my imagination. I did resist the urge to weigh myself since it's ONLY BEEN A DAY and I feel good.
Breakfast was a Banana Breakfast to Go. I misread and only microwaved for a minute so the oatmeal was still pretty crunchy but I think this was a happy, fortuitous mistake because I'm not a major oatmeal fan and the thought of WAY mushy oatmeal is NOT appealing to me. Despite the fact that once again, it was slightly sweet for my taste, it was a yum breakfast. I promise it tasted better than it looks. It's not easy to get a pretty picture of oatmeal, blueberries, nuts, and bananas that have been microwaved with liquid.
Lunch was my favorite so far. Raw spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, celery, carrots, and peppers, cherries and a kiwi, and steamed broccoli with Sesame Ginger Sauce. The sauce didn't add much to the broccoli so I'm not certain I'd add it again. It might be better as a salad dressing or to mix with black beans for a kick! I made a month's worth so you bet your ass I'll find a way to use it.
Dinner was salad again with lemon juice and a pear, Chard and Vegetable Medley, and Jenna's Peach Freeze. I totally caved and salted the salad with a tiny smidge of a pinch. It really only added the illusion of saltiness but it psyched my tongue out so I'm happy. I was wrong about lunch being my favorite, the chard and veg was my favorite. That's going in the "Favorites" cookbook.
The Peach Freeze was totally better out of a zombie cup than it would have been in any other vessel, and as with last nights dinner, I didn't get the whole thing. My little dinner thief stole the last half of my drink and several bites of the chard and veg to go with his tacos and broccoli. His cuteness totally makes up for his thievery!
Couple notes for today.
I do have a massive headache but I think that's just because I just learned my roof is total crap and will have to be replaced, soon. Dammit!
Also, I think after this week, I may replace some of the fruit dishes with my favorite veggie dishes. I'm just more of a savory lover!
I'm definitely making extra next week since Sam seems to love most of the dishes. More than his own food in some cases.
