1st day

i had a good first day.
breakfast: pg tips tea w/ lots of milk, usual yogurt, blueberries, chia seeds, flax seeds, coconut milk (looks supergross). lunch: leftover sweet potato salad (recipe below), dinner: stir fried tofu & flowering chives (huge bowl, so GOOD), miso, snacked on tons of almonds all day, and an apple. i was still hungry so i had a really big mug of good earth tea (this is key, good earth is a really intensely flavored tea. it's not banana cake, but it's satisfying).
(scott - not a great first day b/c he had a dinner @ boulevard, so we'll see how that plays out.)

as i've said before ladies, i'm convinced that time of month is everything for starting a new food program. i even handled halloween candy w/o temptation. well, it wasn't very tempting. and, i took a mindless bite of xander's pb&j sandwich, but stopped when i realized it was so good.
anyone else doing this? i wanna hear the variations! mary?? where are you?

here's that sweet potato recipe which i think you've all seen before:
sweet potato salad
-sweet potatoes (or yams), peeled &cut into chunks (mix w/ some olive oil & a spoon of brown sugar. ok, nix that),
roast in oven @ about 380, for about 40 mins, mix them up about every 15 mins so they don't stick).
-italian parsley - about 2 huge bunches -but arugula would work.
-cheese: i used parmesan, but i think goat cheese or feta would be good too. yeah, nix that too.
-red onion, tiny dice.
-dressing: 2:1 olive oil to balsamic, w/ a spoon of dijon.
-nuts: i used walnuts, but almonds or pine nuts would be good. always toast nuts.
MIX!
(i forgot to do this, but next time i'll squeeze lemon over it).
