Saturday June 17, 2017 Fresh squeezed orange juice 1 Tuscan melon Lychee Darrel and I spent time to try out Agile Scrum framework for figuring out our life in the next year, in order to help prioritize all the things we were feeling need to be done, feel driven to do and/or have deadlines to finish before we go to the FoodnSport retreats in September. It really helped! Yay! :) Sunday June 18, 2017 Father's Day! :) 1 Tuscan melon Mountain apples Apple bananas Hearts of romaine head lettuce Hearts of romaine head lettuce 3 large roma tomatoes Mustard  (not ideal) Darrel had something with a lot of mustard on it and I decided to have some mustard too. I wedged the roma tomatoes lengthwise, and placed them on the lettuce leaves lengthwise, then put a bit of mustard down the length of that, folded the leaves over the top and ate them that way. It hit the spot. Mustard is not ideal because of its spiciness, but it's one of the exceptions I have been making over the last ...

Today was a hodge podge... and little of this, little of that... 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...

I'm working on getting back into the swing of posting things here again, and appreciate your patience with the ebb and flow of it all. :) Today I photographed, weighed, and logged what I ate as a start on this. I'll do some videos of this sort of thing in the future as well as other areas once I get more efficient at editing them. People want to know what kinds of things I'm eating these days, so here's a day's worth of food... on a day I did mostly computer work. You may notice that I'm not eating very many calories in comparison to what I used to. This is partly from a lower activity level overall, and today specifically. I've also found I seem to be utilizing the calories more efficiently than I did early on with this diet. It's been a gradual process over time. I don't seem to need as many calories for the same activity levels as I used to. It turns out well, because I used to love that I could eat so much and now I love that I don't ne...
