Day 7 Mexican Monday

February 26
6:15 lemon water with turmeric
6:45 oat groats with milk, berries, stevia; grapefruit juice

10:45 1/3 Ezekiel English muffin avocado toast, 1/2 apple
I was wondering why I was so hungry since it wasn't nearly lunchtime, but looking at this now I see it's because I hadn't eaten in 4 hours!

Long walk to the farm to feed the goats and chickens.  Yay baby goats and teenage chicks!

12:15 string cheese, raw mushrooms, cherry tomatoes (This snack is aka 'grab whatever you see in the front of the fridge as you run out the door to the Jr. High')

3:00 brown rice, madras lentils, roasted asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, milk
I consciously chose to put less on my plate than my eyes wanted me to because I have been overstuffing myself.  Turns out this was just the right amount (this is a salad plate, not a dinner plate).

6:00 tacos - zoodles, ground turkey, black beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese, guacamole, salsa
Raw cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers dipped in ranch dip (greek yogurt mixed with a ranch packet)

10:00 sf hot chocolate in milk

I'll be taking the time to make more turmeric capsules so I can swallow it instead of drink it.
This was gross.  But it was worth a try.

Breakfast

Late lunch with very messy asparagus. :-)  These tomatoes are like candy.
