Up oh so early today to go to the DMV. It was like one of those "I better get a darn good start to this day else it totally blow up in my face at the terrible DMV." So I had a bowl of plain soy yogurt (Whole Soy--so terrific. No funky aftertaste), with some sort of spicy granola (I can't remember the brand) and my lovely coconut-flax-pumpkin seed ground deliciousness. It was so filling and great. And it really made a difference to my mood.
Admittedly, I was one of those bacon egg and cheese on a roll girls for A WHILE. And OFTEN. Man, those things are delicious, I mean, sorta. Cuz inevitably, a few minutes after I ate one, I had a kinda gross feeling in my stomach. Followed by a very unsatisfying poo an hour or so later. And I was always hungry soooon after. So I don't think I'm going to ever really go back to a REGULAR breakfast diet of bacon egg and cheese on a roll. Maybe I'll make myself one ever now and again on a brioche roll, thick cut uncured bacon, free range egg. If I do at all. Those indulgences, though, aren't really worth it in the end. Not when I FEEL better after eating yogurt and granola. Who cares if that shot of salt and fat give me a rush for the five minutes I'm consuming it? I gotta remember that emotional, habitual eating can take on more positive results. I can get emotional and habitual about fruit and oatmeal and almond milk and bananas, I know I can.
(Sigh. Bacon. Damn you. Really.)
I'm super tired this afternoon due to an early start this AM. But I'm drinking lots of water and have a great spinach and portobello mushroom burrito for lunch. While a little on the large size (when are burritos NOT shaped like food bombs?) I really loved the flavor of all those vegetables. I'm starting to really love the taste of mushrooms and spinach, not just as my favorite VEGETABLES which they've always been--but as some of my favorite FOODS. Favorite FOODS. That's the crazy thing.
Other than that, hmmm. Looking forward to serving up a Cashew Carrot Spread tomorrow for a demo. This stuff looks beautiful and delicious. And it is. I tried. I'm going to serve it up alongside apple slices and crackers and celery. The fat in cashews is a beautiful thing. Creamy creamy creamy.
Only four more days til I leave for Austin! Can you believe it? It's almost here! Eeeeek!
