  • Soup: tomato sauce, bell peppers, carrots, onions, mushrooms, jalapeños, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, soup base
  • Happy Belly SF Pink Lemonade
  • Oatmeal: oats, pumpkin, Syruvia Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup, Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Peanut Butter Cup Syrup, pumpkin spice

NOTES: While I had been feeling like I was eating too much recently, today I felt absolutely stuffed on very little.  The soup was nice as usual, but I’d like it to be slightly thicker.  I could add okra.  I like okra a lot, but usually just boiled.  Cut okra seems to always add woody bits into my soups and I’m not sure if it is always a thing that happens or just bad quality okra.

  • Burritos: tortillas, fat free refried beans, guacamole, shredded lettuce, diced jalapeños, cabbage slaw
  • Happy Belly SF Pink Lemonade
  • Pasta: small shells, cream style corn, diced tomatoes, cayenne pepper
  • Starbucks Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, almond milk, Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Peanut Butter Cup Syrup
  • Pitas: mini pitas, hummus, shredded lettuce, cabbage slaw, sliced tomatoes

NOTES: I ate far too much today.  I felt so hungry all day, and the bread made overeating so much easier.  I cannot handle having tortillas in the house.  I just eat them too quickly and they are surprisingly caloric.  I would have equally enjoyed wraps made from lettuce, so if I continue having wraps that needs to be the direction I go for now.  My goal is weight loss, so I cannot afford to play around.  I know what I need to do, so I just need to do that!

  • Burritos: tortillas, fat free refried beans, guacamole, shredded lettuce, diced jalapeños, cabbage slaw
  • Starbucks Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, Elmhurst Walnut Milk, Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Peanut Butter Cup Syrup

NOTES: I’m starting to feel like I’m eating too much.  Not sure what is going on, but I am hungrier than normal.  I also need to back up and look at how often I am having steamed vegetables with my meals.  I think next meal plan will be a return to basics.

  • Starbucks Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, Elmhurst Walnut Milk, Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Peanut Butter Cup Syrup
  • Happy Belly SF Pink Lemonade
  • 2 wraps: quinoa salad, tempeh, enoki mushrooms, roasted grapes, shredded lettuce, cabbage slaw
  • Oatmeal: oats, pumpkin, Syruvia Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup, Jordan’s Skinny Mixes Peanut Butter Cup Syrup, pumpkin spice

NOTES: The addition of roasted grapes was excellent in today’s wraps.  I also ended up adding a little mustard on Justin’s recommendation and it worked really well.  I really like enoki mushrooms, but since I have to go to Crape Myrtle Market to get them, I forget about them.

  • Happy Belly SF Pink Lemonade
  • Taco Bell bean & rice burritos, with vegan cheese sauce

NOTES: We decided to give Taco Bell’s new cheese sauce a try.  I thought it was excellent, but Justin didn’t really like it much.  As usual, the fast food made me feel a little unwell.  I think their food must contain far too much sodium for my liking anymore.  It’s cheap and convenient, and I can handle the calories typically, but it still feels increasingly like it is just not worth it.  I love the way I feel on a day of vegetables and potatoes.  I feel less great on fast food.

  • Sauerkraut Soup
  • Happy Belly SF Pink Lemonade
  • Japanese White sweet potato, russet potato, cauliflower, nutritional yeast, G. Hughes Sugar Free Caribbean Jerk Sauce
  • 2 wraps: Smoky Rice, cabbage slaw, shredded lettuce, tortillas

NOTES: Okay, I finally get the fuss about Japanese sweet potatoes.  They were so good, I’m immediately switching to those.  I could easily eat one of them every day.  I don’t know why the market is dominated by the inferior orange sweet potatoes.  Is it just me?
