Had my 1 pound of salad with pomegranate seeds, walnuts and raspberry balsamic vinegar. Then i cooked fresh beets and beet greens. I also tried celeriac for the first time: Cut up the celery root and roasted it in the oven...really good stuff! Used rosemary and lemon for flavor.

I'm growing rather fond of dessert at the end of each day! This time i switched from frozen cherries to strawberries - blended with 1/2 cup of soy milk, cocoa powder date, and vanilla extract.

Eating less is the part i have been doing fairly well. The moving more - well - i need to move more! It's high-time for me to get in at least 30 minutes of walking each day. I believe i've lost another pound so i am eager to weigh-in.
(down to 155.4 today!)
For the last couple of weeks, i'm eating all the things i should be eating - fruits, nuts, seeds - and i'm feeling pretty good. I must confess to a piece of contraband - a cinnamon bun at my parent's house on Sunday. It was a bun from IKEA. You know, that place where Swedes make you feel like you just fell into a vat of warm, cinnamon sugary icing bliss? Well the husband brought it to the house and i was fixated. The rolls were heated in the oven. I was sure i could taste the cinnamon while i waited for a roll.
I bit into the thing. And i wondered where the hell the taste was...i licked my fingers, the icing was sticky and tasteless. The rest of the bites were the same...the thin three-eighth's-inch unrolled swirl of baked flour - i think it was dipped in nothing and baked into a void. And the cinnamon - cinnamon....there was cinnamon? It was a twilight-zone episode i swear! WTF just happened?? I was utterly dis-satisfied, disrupted, and overall, disappointed.

Some things happen the way they happen. Clearly my experience was nature's way of demonstrating a complete waste of calories. I won't be so keen to have such food again in the future; i'm better off letting the smells be the end of my immersion into such junk foods.

I can feel your disappointment. I adore cinnamon!!! On a baked apple with some almonds. I know what I will have this evening :)

One sweet will not kill you. Just make the majority of your diet good and stay on your plan.

A little snack fits well in a diet of other wise healthy food...
