so little to verbally say today :)

mango Chutney ready to stir(by hand)

lunch

new batch of chia pudding with blueberries, blackberries, coconut water which I ate some of after lunch. Chia causes my lips to chap, overnight. Prolly overdosed myself. My stomach felt a strange full feeling, small yet hard full. Definitely a food to eat small portion of. It would be great to mix with fruit and add as layers to fruit & veggie cakes.

She's come undone, and that is good

Hari Om Tat Sat

8:24 AM smoothie of yam, turnip, kale, blueberries, blackberries, phytogreens pwd., carrot, hemp butter-- it is more like a pudding than a smoothie; it is smooth.

1:02 PM Salad of garden lettuce, parsley, spinach, roma tomato, red onion, pecans added part way through eating it, with mustard dressing (yes, I really really love that dressing and it is quick and easy to prepare).

Following the salad, a blackberry tart.

6:46 PM mango chutney, falafels, veggie chips; the chutney was so spicy hot that I added a dill pickle.

7:52 PM blackberry tart with cheese and a side of grapes

I get hungrier and eat more when the weather gets colder, like a bear preparing to hibernate, she says as she fills her face full of the rest of the grapes. It is good to see from this perspective what I eat. It shows me how little I need.

Today, a 1 hour brisk walk.

A really creative video

This Day is Given Me

I think I am eating too much the last two weeks. It feels like food is stuffing me up, stuffing me up as in making my body feel dense. So I am going to notice when gluttony sets in and what I reach for. Nuts for sure especially in combination with avocado are more difficult for me to utilize the energy of.

8:00 AM a pink grapefruit :)!

1:37 PM a smoothie of (now pay attention to this combination, eh) heh… I cleaned up the fridge, to use up bits of foods. Carrot, spinach, celery, kale, zucchini, orange, fresh picked this morning blackberries, phytogreens powder. (with 6 caps of phytogreens and Orti C-- I aim to soak up the mercury).

5:47 PM 2 tarts, Blackberry tarts that look like raspberry because of the orange juice added.

I made 22 Blackberry tarts today. The shell is almond and pecan based. All raw of course.

9:00 PM a chai tea with almond milk and a coconut macaroon from Bliss Cafe. I was out and about heading home and had this snack waiting for me, in my car. (I picked the tea and macaroon up before running errands)

9:13 PM salad of garden lettuce, lemon thyme, chives, parsley, green beans, added almond/pecan cheese, pear and mustard dressing(sounds like last night, huh). It is a repeat of last night only with pear instead of tomato. I was hungry and it tasted so very fine. :)

Water intake is down to 24 oz. today… I need a bigger bladder.

I know, this picture is not clear, it is the only one I have though

I am feeling tonight that I hopefully can develop more creativity with the food.

This day I am thrilled to have picked a quart of certified organic blueberries and nearly 4 quarts of 'wild blackberries'. The blackberries are free for the finding! Soon I hope to be able to pick more blueberries. Blueberry season will be running another month probably. I will definitely be dehydrating some blueberries!

wild blackberries

certified organic blueberries

It has been highly energizing to harvest wild blackberries and eat them 'freshly' picked. I have been missing wild harvesting. And the berries are spectacular and huge!

I am so happy to find Island sources of organic blueberries for self picking.

A walk of 1.5 hours added some well appreciated exercise.
