Forgot my afternoon snack and had a chocolate bar instead, but except for that I managed reasonable portion control and all my fruits and veggies. I had a beet-carrot-spinach juice for breakfast that sounds horrid but tastes very fresh and garden-y. Last night I bbq’d a roast stuffed with fresh herbs from my garden. I have some amazing oregano growing out there, and several varieties of sage, three or four mints and whatever basils have escaped the earwigs. Also rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon balm, lavender, tarragon and chives. I mostly grow them for teas - there’s nothing nicer than a fresh herbal tea before bed. I don’t grow vegetables - I can’t stay interested in them long enough to remember to weed and then harvest them and it never feels like it is worth the work. But most herbs are easy, fragrant and the bees & butterflies like them.
I came back from my 5km walk/run tonight feeling very pleased with myself. Yay exercise endorphins.
