Happy New Year Everyone!!! :) :) :) Sleep:  awake at 7:45am, up at 8:30am to sleep for night last night at: 11:30pm Food: breakfast: 6 (or 7?) organic California Page mandarins lunch: 9 Fuyu persimmons (3 lbs) dinner: TBD -- probably a mandarin or two, followed by salad of: head of green cabbage cut into ribbons with dressing of tahini, lemon, carrot juice, freeze dried kale powder ... and maybe some partially dehydrated summer squash slices on the side or with the dressing as dip (possibly dipping "baby" carrots too) ... and maybe some carrot juice afterward I've been eating persimmons pretty much every day for a while now. They are SO delicious, and they store really well here, so I can get over a month's worth at a time, which I absolutely love! They hold up well without refrigeration and are a terrific staple or back-up because they're the kind that you can eat whether they are hard or soft. I got a great deal on them at CostCo in California when Da...

A few golden figs from yard 2 Jamaican lilikoi from yard 3 mountain apples from yard 1/2 large white pineapple from farmers market 2 ears corn from farmers market Blueberries from store 2 hearts of romaine heads lettuce from store Lychee from farmers market Yesterday Fresh squeezed orange juice Smoothie with some of the OJ and frozen strawberries Mamey sapot e 1/2 pound baby lettuce spring mix with olive oil and spices on it (not ideal, but tasty) 1-2 tablespoons tahini with lemon juice as spread onto dried nori sheets (not ideal) wrapped around small wedges of roma tomatoes  (2 large) Yeah, too much fat for one day, more than one type of fat, oil and spices, and nori all are not my ideal. I realized that and decided it was acceptable enough for me, and I don't regret it. I felt like having the mix spiced like I used to spice popcorn, so I did, and ate it like that. Call it my rarely-occassionally th...

For those of you wanting the scoop on what's been going on in my life... I'll do an update and all another time.  For now I'm just gonna' start back into this as I can...

I will post them later, along with a recent Food for the Week-ish photo. 7 apple bananas 2 Hearts of Romaine heads of lettuce 4 mixed col...

I've started to try and take photos of everything I eat, weigh it, and log it in an app so that I can then share it all with y'all as much as I can. I found weighing it in grams to be the easiest way, especially if I'm doing monomeals. (Thanks to Dr. Pam Halton trying out this diet while visiting me and tracking things that way). I can just put everything I think I might eat on a tray or in a container and weigh it. Then I record that weight. When I eat I just make sure to eat over the container and put all the compost and such back in there. If I don't eat it all I leave that stuff in the container as well... then I weigh it at the end. I can then subtract the ending from the beginning amounts to see how much I actually ate. It's pretty simple. and now that I have a nice looking and easily portable scale (Oohh, ahh, it's red! So pretty), I can even do it when on the go. If I'm not doing monomeals, then it's a little more tricky when doing something...
