Too hot to walk this morning.  I have not been able to walk as much since school started.  I am hoping the weather will get cooler soon so I can walk in the evenings.
I have tried a variety of vegan foods and recipes and have had so much gas that it is just too much for me to handle.  Last night I ate real cheese melted on a tortilla and it is so much better than the fake cheeses.  I am not buying any more fake cheeses.  Except for the Kite Hill spread that is a nut based cream cheese like spread - it is totally yummy and not oily like the fake cheeses that are made of - you guessed it - oil.
Today, to combat the rumbly tummy, I am trying to eat only blandish foods.  I had my coffee because - coffee.  I put the almond milk creamer and vanilla stevia in it like always - just 1/2 cup of coffee.
For breakfast, I had a piece of buttermilk bread from Trader Joe's toasted w/ avocado on it.
I have also had green tea to drink.
And for lunch - another piece of the same bread toasted with the rest of the avocado on it.
So far, tummy seems happy.
Hungry.  At 3 pm ate another piece of toast w/ avocado.
another glass of green tea
Dinner - brown rice and roasted veggies both from the Deliciously Ella cookbook.
The rice is cooked w/ lime juice, tamari, salt and olive oil.   The veggies are sweet potato, carrot and butternut squash w/ olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika and fresh thyme and rosemary.
glass of red wine

Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2015

1/2 cup of coffee
Breakfast - piece of sprouted grain toast w/ earth balance margerine and a pastured egg fried over easy in olive oil
Yoga class - gentle yoga - found more things my body won't do.  My feet don't stretch the way they want us to.  How strange is that?  Actually, my right food will stretch, but it hurts my left foot to even try.  And while I can do the butterfly leg thing flat easily, I am very uncomfortable in child's pose and some others that some people seem to have no problem with.
Lunch - vingar flavored fava bean things, salad, chips and vegan cream cheese and hummus, 1/2 sandwich - chao cheese, pickle slice, tofurkey
Snackish dinner - bag of almonds, some grape tomatoes, some multi-grain crackers, water - totally not satisfying at all. ugh
