Veg Restaurant and Food Diary
I just had a delish lunch at an old veg restaurant that I hadn’t gone to in years. I had forgotten how good it is. It is so great to have choices and know that it is all vegan friendly. Quite a treat. When I lived in Chicago we had several places - but at that time I wasn’t a vegan. Ironic I guess.
I followed my tofu breakfast burrito with a trip to the local health food store. I picked up some pantry staples and some Ezekial products which M told me to try (in lieu of wheat products) to encourage more weight loss. I am not convinced in giving up wheat altogether, but eating my good carbs before dinner time makes some logical sense. That way my body can burn them off during my more active hours and not store them through the slower nighttime hours.
It is really hard to balance all the diet advice that is out there. One expert tells you one thing and another contradicts. I just have to use my new Food Diary. With it I can keep tabs on my body’s response to particular foods and go forward from there. I will be so happy when I get in that diet zone and weight seems to fall off. Over the years, I have really done myself a disservice by holding on to these extra pounds, as now that I am in my forties, it is super hard to get off.
One day at a time.
