And I am off! I left on my long trip yesterday, so you will get a sneak peak on my activities and food 🙂 I am getting better about not letting my anxiety lead me to food. I have been trying to keep myself busy instead by going to get the mail, cleaning or playing a game with my partner. With this trip I should have plenty to do to keep my mind off food, I mean I did walk 7+ miles the first day.
Breakfast
Mango ginger kale smoothie + Bailey’s oats – Made plenty last week to have for this week too.
Krispy Kreme doughnuts – This is not a healthy tradition, but my partner and I go to Krispy Kreme once a year in October for Halloween themed donuts. I love Halloween and for me hot Krispy Kreme original glazed is a treat. And saying it is something special for October helps us not over indulge.
Gala apples and Larabar – Travel breakfast!
Lunch
Green beans and Verisoy pork
Coconut Red Lentil Soup (Soup and Bread cookbook pg 145) with pita – Soup and Bread is one of my favorite cookbooks and I only got it in March. Every recipe I have tried so far is amazing!
Quinoa stuffing with Mushroom gravy and Soft-boiled egg + Maple spiced beets, carrots and squash with nuts – I used only leftovers and what I already had on hand to make this filling lunch.
Bread with stuff on it – I walked 7+ miles my first day in San Francisco, so you can say I carbed up.
Dinner
Grilled cheese with spinach and artichoke dip and tomato soup
Acorn squash with Quinoa stuffing with Mushroom gravy
Oktoberfest dinner out – I got the sampler plate and a beer. I had the sausages another night for dinner.
