Back to my morning routine with a slight change. I needed something juicier so added a half an apple sliced and reduced the prunes to 3, planning to eat more prunes later but I didn't.
Lunch and supper was rolled into one because I got home after 3 from Family History Center and Urgent Care.
I had a big serving of my pesto pasta salad with 1/2 oz cheese in it. Also a small turkey sausage burger in a bun. 3/4 cup pinto beans and half an apple.
Again I ask...where are the green vegetables ? There was celery along with red pepper in the pasta salad. A thick slice of tomato in the burger.

Day 27 of 57
I must step up my efforts and have a strategy for special events or days. Like days when we have company and I am making special foods.
Today was the first day since my commitment that I did not have a single almond or prune. I had tons of watermelon morning afternoon and evening. No room in the fridge. I had 2 pancakes for breakfast with a half bratwurst and 2 for supper with a whole bratwurst.
Complete with a small smear of butter and syrup. I did have half of an apple at one point. Also some leftover shish kabobs of chicken with rice and humus. Also, because I have a UTI...after coming home at 8:30 pm pfrom a meeting, I had to have the pills Sheelah gave me with food and also had to have chopped garlic with food so I had a bowl of my pesto pasta salad.

Day 25 of 57
Strange order today.
Breakfast was a bowl of pesto pasta salad. It was leftovers from another day. I added a chopped tomato and 1/3 chopped cuke. What can I say? I was in the mood.
Then lunch was the 30 almonds and 5 prunes plus a half cup of green grapes.
A handful of peanuts in the afternoon and a raspberry banana coconut milkshake. Then some fresh cooked beets.
Supper? It was 7:30 when we sat down. John had leftover salmon stroganoff.....wuth sauteed chopped onions added. I had oatmeal with apple chunks and milk and cinnamon.
Very random eating patterns today. I was following my hunger and cravings.

Day 24 of 57
There were 3 full pizzas leftover so that's what some if us had for breakfast. I had 2 slices. The rest of the people had cereal and milk. We got home around 2 and had frozen banana pineapple shakes. Supper was salmon burger, corn off the cob and black beans. My nightcap was oatmeal and half an apple chopped up in it.
Sheelah reminded me that red rice yeast is good for lowering cholesterol.

Day 23 of 57
No pictures. We are still at Carpinterua beach and because I misplaced my almonds and prunes I ended up eat one pancake with syrup and some milk for protein.
Apple slices and occasional munching on whatever was around in bags on the beach: chips, string cheese, cookies. A very OFF day. Oh and for supper...2 slices of pizza that had lots of mozarella on them. A bit of homemade ice cream.
Next trip get 3 watermelons for 40 people!!! And several big lidded tupperware type containers. Healthy and juicy! I did not personally eat any watermelon...not enough.
