Juliana Day 4

Yay Day 4! Today I started off the day with a delicious smoothie (milk, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and a raw egg, all local of course) It tasted like I was having dessert for breakfast which was a nice treat. It was just nice to have something different from oatmeal. Alisa and J.B's rule is that if they traveled they could bring home something from within 100 miles of where they were staying. I have a bottle of vanilla extract from Mexico that I bought from a market and brought home so I put a tsp of that in my smoothie as well.

Lunch had to wait until after school again so I was starving!!!! I tried Amy's little "bread" things she made from local flour, honey and buttermilk, they were actually so good!!!! The carb taste was so comforting. That's the thing with cutting grain out of your diet, it feels like you're never eating comfort food. When I got home I made goat cheese stuffed chicken breasts with steamed broccoli and carrots and some mashed potatoes.

For supper I sauteed up some mushrooms and cut up some fresh tomatoes. I put this with goat cheese over lettuce, topped it with local alfalfa sprouts and had that for dinner. I was hungry all night though so I should have included some more protein. My clothes are starting to feel really loose.

Getting into the spirit of local, I downloaded some local music to listen to with dinner. Ryan Donne is amazing! I also took the bus to work:) Tomorrow my goals are to get a bit more protein and eat a little more so I'm not so hungry.
