Day 8: No Meat?

Aunt Voula: What do you mean he don't eat no meat?
[the entire room stops, in shock]
Aunt Voula: Oh, that's okay. I make lamb. 

Day 8 started out alittle uneventful. For breakfast I made the 'Big Bowl' again with the cut up fruit from brunch Sunday. One big reason to over cut fruit for a fruit bowl... leftovers!

For Lunch, I just had a spinach salad with mushrooms and onions.. Pretty boring and I am still having oil, although less, in my Newman's Own Vinaigrette.

I had a bunch of snacks today... It started with one of the pumpkin corn muffins from last nights dinner. I then baked a bag of tortilla chips and had some chips and salsa. I hope the bag of chips stays fresh!

Tonight was our group meeting for all of the E2ers in Chapel Hill. While I was expecting a night filled with meatless samples, that was not the case. Don't get me wrong, the samples were excellent, but as a lonely carnivore, I was hoping for the sweet taste of something that tastes meaty!

I was a good little student and stayed after class with the teacher. :-) I think it was a blessing that I was not able to stay after class last week as the entire group also stayed. This night we only had 3 participants staying to walk around the store and go aisle by aisle and discuss what can and cannot be used, along with some of Jenn's favorite ingredients or recipes. This hour was priceless! I purchased a number of items and look forward to trying new dishes in the days and weeks to come!

Almost forgot... Down to 214! I do not think I ever lost any weight over a weekend (mostly gained) let alone losing weight.
