Harvest

Dinner:

Yukon golds
Sweet potato
Avocado slices
Broccoli (bit of mayo)
Slice of warm turkey (yum, fall)
Goat cheese

Doh!

Redwood $1.25 tastes like musky goat
Bellwether Farms $2.59 tastes like bliss

I guess money does buy happiness, in the form of non-musky goat yogurt :-)

No excuses today

First day of cycle: headache, general girlie malaise BUT.....

Hit Bar class. I suck at it big time: zero core, jello muscles, shaking legs and Charlie horses. Sigh....guess I'll go more often.

Run in spring lake, after bar I needed to feel better about myself. Hungry and side aches and mid afternoon heat did not bode well but chored out 35 minutes.

Swim. My yoga.


Coffee
Few bites oatmeal
Small cup chips
Whole avocado guac & salsa (small amount
One Fish taco: two corn tortillas, cabbage slaw
