Yesterday was a good day although ended up having to be flexible. Had planned to come home for lunch but got a text from the woman who does my hair asking if I could come in that morning instead of next week. That meant that I only had an hour after that to eat lunch and drive 30 minutes to my scheduled massage (yeah I had a decadent day yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it). I decided that since I was in the city I would run by Whole foods for lunch. I picked up a Mediterranean Quinoa salad that was wonderful. It is something I would take to potlucks if I could figure out how to make it. I may have to play around with the ingredient list of the dressing to see if I can figure out what proportions things are supposed to be in. I am really bad at that so if anyone tends to be good at that let me know.
I learned a couple of things with that salad. The first is that nutritional yeast really does taste like cheese- who knew (I really thought you people had just not had cheese in so long that you didn't remember- much like the soy cheese people have tried to get me to eat in the past
). I kept looking at the salad trying to find the cheese even though they assured me it was vegan. I finally found nutritional yeast in the ingredient list. Yeah!!! Also- I tried a peach, barley, and kale salad that was very good but had a very peppery taste. Is that the kale? I've never had it before. Not sure I liked it but will try it in a couple of other things.
I had reason to go back into the city at the end of the day so I went back by WFM and picked up enough of the quinoa salad for several meals this week and picked up a vegan stew for lunch today.

I weighed today- 300.4 which is down 5.4 pounds from last Sunday. I am happy but a little disappointed that I am not below 300. I am looking forward to seeing a 3 at the beginning of my weight for the last time.
