And so it begins... with a "whaaaaat?"

Today was an interesting day. I'd say it was moderately successful.

Breakfast

- None

Now, before you become concerned, this was a conscious decision. I recognize that makes it sound even more worse, but in truth, I was trying to listen to my body. I'd eaten so much this weekend and snacked and snacked and snacked that I was not even close to being hungry when I woke up. I didn't end up being hungry until around noon. Therefore, I feel justified. I believe that healthy eating includes not overeating. So there.

Lunch

- One PB sandwich on Udi's gluten free bread, one whole avocado eaten with a handful and a half of tortilla chips, one orange.

This was a lovely meal for a number of reasons. I appreciated it's variety in textures and tastes. The creamy avocado with the crunchy chips; the tongue squishing peanut butter with the dry, chewy texture of the bread; the juicy, pulpy orange. Love, love, love. It definitely didn't hurt that I ate it outside in Brigham's Square with the sun shining and a pleasant breeze blowing. Let me tell you, I was a happy girl for the half hour or so it took to eat my food. Simple pleasures are a real thing.

Success? I'd say, yes.
Was it pleasing to eat? Oh yeah!
Did it have a good variety of foods? Uh-huh!
Did it keep me full for a number of hours? You betcha.
[This may have been influenced by the lingering fullness from this weekend, but I am still well pleased.]

Dinner

- None (Two chocolate chip cookies?)

I just never got hungry. I mean, I was starting to get the tiniest bit rumbly in my tumbly as I was about to leave for FHE (Family Home Evening), but after I ate a cookie or two there, I wasn't hungry at all. This was a bit disappointing for me since I'd gotten everything ready to make a delicious pizza made with peppers, onions, tomatoes and a gluten-free pizza crust my sweet mother bought me. Maybe tomorrow?

Today truly has been odd. I only ate one meal! I guess we'll have to see what tomorrow brings.
