I held strong and didn't eat anything else last night. I have a prob eating too much as I enjoy it so much. What can I say, I just love food. Perhaps that's why I used to weigh 248, and thanks to the BTD and some determination I'm at a healthy 180. A testimonial? I'll spare you...



Woke up at 8:30 today. Did a half hour cleansing ritual thingy I may let you in on later. Breakfast was another avocado w/lemon and garlic/onion powder. Two organic eggs w/dill and parsley, a handful of blackberries, and... I think I may have had a 'lil something else... Can't remember...



Headed into the vineyard immediately after breakfast. The entire 'main field' has been weeded and tilled. My great Aunt and Uncle have another tiny plot with some beautiful vines growing of a variety called "friendly." Evidently a bastard/mutt/hybrid that cannot be traced back to the main species of grape, hence not suitable for commercial wines. However, it is delicious and makes a wonderful spread I'm told. Spent a few hours weeding it to perfection, then moved to the main plot to "train" the vines. This is the act of tying the dominant vine growing out of the ground to a pole to make it grow 'up.' Good times. More sun.



Just finished lunch. More baby food... Big leaf of chard, big crown of broccoli, two cloves of garlic, three big stalks of celery, a whole small yellow onion, and a 1/2 cup each of soy milk and organic yogurt. Also had a couple of cranberries, and a big handful of nut mix. Almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds... A ginormous lunch to be sure.



For those of you looking for a suitable soy milk. Eden Soy makes a wonderful one containing ONLY soybeans and reverse osmosis water. It's free of rice syrup, carageenan, and all oils. Delicious, nutty, and good for you... You A's anyway... To get some additional iron in your diet, try mixing a Tbsp. of black strap molasses into 8oz of soy milk... It's kinda like chocolate milk and will combat Anemia which we A's are so prone too. Get your minerals! 'Till next time my gentle snowflakes... Ha ha.
