300th post: food, followers, and feelings

It's my 300th post in 366 days. Apparently I like blogging. :)

I used to have a diary when I was younger, I loved writing in it, but I fell out of the habit. This totally fulfills that need and had the added bonus of finding a community of like minded people and some really awesome individuals!

Food was SPOT ON yesterday!

Breakfast: egg, egg white, mushrooms, peppers and tomato

Lunch: coffee with almond milk, gluten free toast (one slice) with sunflower butter

Dinner (early): turkey burger (no bun) with raw tomato slices on top, with brussels sprouts, mushrooms,  and half a serving of a butternut squash and carrot soup

Snack: frozen strawberries and blackberries with some almond milk yogurt on top, sprinkled with cinnamon

I was completely satisfied all day, never hungry and never full - which is what I like. My fitness app said I ate 50% carbs, 24% protein and 26% fat - also what I like to see.

Feeling great this morning as a result! This mornings veggie scramble is already eaten, yoga already done, dog walk as well.

However, I did see I lost a follower!!! I wonder why. I do love an audience, so it hurt a little to see someone clicked off following me. I am curious as to why - am I boring? annoying? preachy? Hm. Ah, well. I am a small blog with a small readership, and the fact that ANYONE bothers to read my words warms the cockles of my soul :D

So I am in a great mood. Food has SUCH an effect on my mood. Greasy, junky food? Foul mood. (Hey, that rhymed!) And the opposite is true as well. I wish I could remember this when I get depressed. I think I will next time - as I get older, I remember these hard learned lessons when it is important to remember them more and more. For example: learned a pretty hard lesson when my mom died about abusing my body to deal with grief. Did not repeat that process when my dad passed.

Tomorrow, I am going to NYC with a friend to do some stuff for her wedding with her. I am pretty excited for some girl time!! I cannot attend her wedding (its a destination wedding and I can't afford it) so I am glad to spend this time with her. I am going to make sure to prepare ahead of time so I don't eat my little heart out in NYC - I'll bring a lunch and snack.

Love and light to you all!
