So yesterday after work I went to pick up the first weeks produce from my subscription to a local CSA (community supported agriculture). Although it was rather gloomy from an all day drizzle, I arrived excited with anticipation of fresh produce harvested only a couple of hours prior. The farmer and his wife, a rather jovial pair, had brought us real maple syrup, honey, asparagus, romaine lettuce, kale and green onions. They had rhubarb too but I opted for asparagus instead as the two were available as one or the other. I spent some of the evening prepping the produce for ease of use before stocking it in the fridge. I didn’t get to bed as early as I would have liked and that sort of caught up with me this morning. It just seemed a little harder to leave the warmth of the bed more than usual today. When I did get up I was fairly hungry and ate my usual breakfast as soon as I got in to work. The breakfast was one yogurt, a bowl of fruit and some tea. I didn’t have tea until about an hour after I ate breakfast - no reason - just didn’t want to juggle all the stuff in my hands as I usually do.

Lunch
I didn’t get hungry at all prior to lunch until I happened to notice that it was 11:45 am, so I dashed off to make my usual salad.


- cottage cheese
- grapes
- romaine lettuce
- black beans
- egg
- spinach
- broccoli
- tomatoes
- pineapples
- green, yellow and red pepper
- sunflower seeds

Afternoon Snack
Today being a very busy day at work, I had to use the clock quite a bit as my guide on when to eat. Well except for this afternoon when I got real hungry 2 hours after lunch.

- sliced apple
- a tsp of peanut butter
- a banana

That lovely snack had me satisfied for the rest of my work day until dinner.

Dinner
On the way home I had to stop at the whole food store for some stuff so I figured I would hit their salad bar for dinner. I love their salad bar - it has a lot of variety.

- broccoli
- tomatoes
- kamut
- red cabbage
- regular cabbage
- radishes
- chinese noodles
- butterfly noodles
- red beans and rice
- black beans
- sunflower seeds
- a tsp of balsamic vinagrette
Let me just say I tremendously enjoyed this salad. Of course shortly after I was hungry again, about 2 hours later. Dinner was at 6 pm.

Evening Snack

- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 3 tbsp of ground flax seeds
- 2 tsp of honey
- 1/3 cup of frozen fruit

Observations
- First day of no sluggishness
- Headache was back in the late evening - went away after dinner - am attributing it to low blood sugar? dunno, we shall see if the same thing happens tomorrow.
- TMI section, my morning breath is not as bad as it used to be - I want to guess that this might be because am not having sugar(chocolate) and sipping wine the night before? another one of those pleasant side effects. Needless to say my dogs are not pleased with this new development at all!
One week down - Yay!
