Life Without Ed: Day 1

I should have prepped last night by going grocery shopping, but I decided to put it off until this morning. So of course, that meant I didn't go grocery shopping until lunchtime. I had just finished a demo lesson (for a job I didn't get) and I was coming down from an adrenaline high. The last thing I wanted to do was shop, but actually, walking up and down the aisles became kind of soothing.

I am not on a diet. I'm just finding healthy meals to prepare at home. That's it. And of course, totally vegan!

Because I foolishly skipped breakfast, I popped a luna bar as a quick snack before grocery shopping. For lunch I made a balsamic zucchini sandwich and a bowl of tomato lentil soup. I'm just now realizing that I forgot the fresh basil on my sandwich! Bummer. But I'm having it again tomorrow, so I'll be sure to remember then.

Chuck doesn't arrive home from work until late and by 7pm I was starving. So I ate the bowl of cereal I was supposed to eat for breakfast while I started cooking dinner - Moroccan Bean Stew with Sweet Potatoes. "Ate" is kind of misleading. "Wolfed down" is more like it. I stood over the bubbling bowl of stew fisting overflowing spoonfulls of cheerios into my mouth. I need to slow down.

All of my meals are coming from here in case anything sounds delicious and you want the recipe.

Day 1 complete, no relapses, no desperate cravings. But I'm sure the best is yet to come. ;)
