Day 1

Thank god for the deep freeze.

CC got home last night and we looked through our food on hand. We had leftover Indian Chili in the freezer that's vegan, and today's lunch. I made the grocery list, so tonight we'll get supplies for the remainder of the week. Boiling steel cut oats for this week's breakfasts was just too daunting, so we're having Kashi bars this week (making homemade granola bars this weekend).

So far so good (acknowledging it's only been about 4 hours). But I've noticed during diets in the past that on that very first morning I find myself absentmindedly grabbing a cookie (which I never eat) or handfuls of whatever candy someone has around. I'd rather have abs than brie... I'd rather have abs than brie... There's no place like home...

Here are couple of pictures from last weekend. I rented a fisheye lens from the local camera shop. T'was tons of fun - Maggie was very curious - probably because I'd moved the dining room table around.

Vegan borscht tonight! I'll take a picture.
