Food List 8–14 January

I decided to see if I was able to complete the 30 plant foods per week challenge, but I can’t just do a thing without adding levels of difficulty. In my list, I’ve included all spices and varieties, but still made sure that excluding those I reached 30.

  • corn, unMeat Chili
  • Starbucks Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, almond milk, JSS Pistachio Syrup
  • Wasa Crispbread, spicy hummus
  • corn, Ranch Style Beans with Jalapeños
  • Oatmeal: quick oats, rolled oats, apples, JSS Candy Apple Syrup

NOTES: I’m craving beans.  I will try to start incorporating a small amount each day to deal with it; I sometimes do miss just having a whole can as a meal, but at the moment it’s just too many calories all at once.  It’s easy enough to just have a few with my other meals though.  We will see.

Weight loss seems slow right now.  I was mentally prepared for plateaus, but not for how to resolve them.  I’m a little frustrated, but I’m not discouraged.  I just feel like I’ve arrived at a puzzle and I’m not sure how to solve it.  Hopefully I figure it out though.  I’ve got a long way to go.  I need to look at my log critically and start whacking at things that aren’t helping.  There are a few areas to try.

  • Starbucks Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, almond milk, JSS Maple Donut Syrup
  • Taco Bell bean & rice burritos

NOTES: I’m pretty sure this is correct, but this is the first time since August that I didn’t write down what I ate in a day. I was so busy working on cleaning out the shed and when I finished, I sort of showered and crashed.  Long day–good day, but I’ll have to try to not go an entire day without recording anything.
