What a Beautiful Morning!


What a great morning! Slept in a bit (until 8 a.m.!)...probably because I went to bed close to 11:00 a.m. last night. I stayed up watching the rest of the Organic Athlete conference DVD.

No training this morning (and my legs were still stiff when I got up), but I did a lot of walking/moving things. To enjoy some of the sunshine, I walked to the co-op and bought more of those persimmons that were on sale for 2 for $1.00 (too bad Dan G. is out of town...Dan, if you're reading this, we should arrange to have a persimmon dinner when you get back!). Also bought some mangoes. Then walked to Hyde Park Produce for lettuce. Carried everything home! =)

Took a car today to donate some old clothing to the ARK thrift store. Also bought running shoes, and stopped at Stanley's, where they were selling 4-pound bags of organic valencia oranges for 98 cents! Bought 10 of them!

While driving home from my errands, I just felt so happy and exuberant! A sunny day, great music, and breakfast/lunch awaiting me when I got home.

1st meal (around 1:15 p.m.) - 1 bag valencia oranges (13 oranges, cut into wedges and sucked the juice out of them). 7 perfectly ripe fuyu persimmons.
Later in the afternoon - more persimmons, 2 bunches baby bok choy, 2 large tomatoes
Dinner - 2 heads green leaf lettuce, 2 small orange bell peppers, dressing made from 1 navel orange, 2 tbsp. tahini. Then had some cauliflower (1 head), blended with 2 stalks celery, a bit of basil, and 2-3 tbsp cashew butter. Later, 1 satsuma mandarin orange.
I like the taste of that cauliflower mush....but it doesn't satiate me like fruit does! I'll try eating more fruit at the beginning of the meal.

Look what's in my kitchen! I may need a little help eating some of this...

Yummy!! I'd love to snatch some of those Fuyus (my favorite fruit) right out of the picture, LOL!! I can't find Fuyus anywhere around here now (DFW). So sad.
