8:15am Homemade breakfast sandwich with one slice homemade whole wheat bread, toasted, with one free-range egg, a slice of overly-processed cheese, and about 1/3 slice nitrate-free bacon, plus a go-mug of black dark-roast coffee.
I was super hungry when I woke up, and when Mr Science offered to make me a half of a breakfast sandwich, I decided that would do the trick! But a couple hours later I was feeling less than satiated and felt the beginnings of a sore throat and found myself craving yesterday’s green smoothie. So…
10:15am Green smoothie with 1 cup water, 2 ice cubes, 1 chopped apple, 1 tbsp each lemon juice* and powdered greens, and 1 tsp each chia seeds and match powder.
I can’t tell you how GOOD this tasted today! It was exactly what I needed.
12:20pm A little plate of vegetable potpie and 2 glasses ice water.
3pm 1 slice organic cheddar cheese, a few squares organic Terra Nostra satin milk truffle chocolate, and a little glass red wine.
4:15pm 2 rolls homemade vegan sushi (nori, sushi rice, avocado, shiitake mushrooms, panko, and homemade spicy mayo using Vegenaise) and another (but more appropriately-sized ;)) glass of wine. I had another glass of wine and a couple more squares of chocolate later on.
6:30pm Air-popped popcorn topped with local butter and pink Himalayan sea salt, plus some ice water (I like my popcorn ;)).
Total calories: 2,400
Today’s exercise: 1 hour 30 minutes walking.

*I use Santa Cruz organic lemon juice . It has ONE ingredient: organic lemon juice. This is much better than the commercial lemon juice our society typically chooses, which often has preservatives added to it.
