Lunch: Salad of romaine with miso ginger dressing from Moosewood Low-Fat cookbook, and orange.
Dinner: A couple raw baby carrots. Spicy White Bean and Sweet Potato Stew with Collards. Balsamic-glazed Chickpeas with Mustard Greens (except I subbed kale for the mustard greens). Roasted chickpeas.
Today I messed up by eating granola in the late afternoon, and by eating a few brownies (vegan and with no refined sugar, but still not ETL-compatible) after dinner, with the justification that it was a holiday so it was okay. It tasted good, but I just don't feel as clean and energetic when I do that. It is my first mess-up in 14 days, though, so I am not going to feel too bad. It was just a reminder that I feel better eating according to plan. I don't think I would have eaten the granola if I had eaten breakfast that morning, and if I had eaten more for lunch. I also need to chew my food better, so I can digest it better, and so I can more easily tell when my body is satiated.
My lunch salad about made me gag. That salad dressing has too much ginger in it, or something. Dinner was good, though. I need to slow down and pay attention while I'm eating.
Dinner, the only changes I made to the stew was adding fewer tomatoes than the recipe called for (because I had half a can of leftover ones in the fridge I wanted to use up), and cooking it on the stove instead of in the Crock Pot. It turned out well.
