Back to 2-day food diaries like I used to do! I think my posts are getting similar enough that it makes more sense to consolidate them and avoid spamming you as much. 😛
Day 36
Today I had a dinner disaster: I went to an Indian restaurant that a friend and I frequent and ordered potato curry, all seemed well. I started eating the curry, and a few bites in (on top of naan/rice, which is why it took me so long) I noticed that what was supposed to be potato instead seemed a bit mushroom-like and stringy in texture, and didn’t taste nearly as good as potato. I isolated a piece from the curry to get a closer look and realized that it was chicken. I was horrified.
They brought me my correct curry in 3 minutes and gave me a 50% discount, but still. The last time I intentionally ate an animal was over a decade ago when I was 12, and up to this point I’d only had 2 accidents: once 8 years ago biting into a burrito that was supposed to be bean but instead was beef, and another 4 year ago eating half a slice of pizza that was supposed to be mushroom but had pepperoni hiding UNDER the cheese (after which I cried). This is my first accident since I’ve been vegan/in the last 3 years. 😦
The fun part of my day was going to dog beach with another friend, which involved a lot of lovely walking and mirror-like landscapes.
Exercise: walked 3.5 miles
Breakfast:
- Banana steel cut oats
- Coldbrew coffee with soymilk
Lunch:
- 3 red potatoes with hummus
- Acai bowl with 3 bananas, granola
- Leftover fried rice
Dinner:
- Yellow potato curry, rice, naan
Day 37
My New Year’s Eve was a whirlwind: I managed to see 8 of my San Diego friends in one day, in 3 different groups! I went to the mall with 2 friends in the morning, and while they got lunch, I decided I didn’t feel like restaurant food and got a mocha instead.(And I ate potatoes once I got home, of course.) I’m feeling more and more like my old intuitive eating self again, where I don’t feel compelled to stuff myself just because other people are eating!
Next was going to a cafe with another friend, where I felt like getting peppermint tea instead of another hot chocolate or something. We also went grocery shopping, where I found the GREATEST SNACK EVER: pumpkin pie date rolls. But more on that next post.
Then I spent the evening with another group of friends, and had chips and guac instead of beer or sangria. A pretty good trade, I’d say! I just wasn’t in a very alcoholic mood despite the occasion.
Exercise: walked 5 miles
Breakfast:
- 4 slices of bread with pumpkin butter
- Coldbrew coffee with soymilk
Lunch:
- Soy mocha
- 4 small potatoes with hummus
- Peppermint tea
Dinner:
- Paella romaine wraps
- 4 pumpkin pie date rolls
Snack:
- Chips and guacamole
