Thank you Franchesca! Some of them are more tasty than photogenic in my opinion.
The Jays have made my Day 8 a very happy one... we are not out of the ALCS yet!
I live near the Rogers Centre, and game days bring a frenetic energy to my neighbourhood. People singing, cheering, honking and yelling (that's mostly angry drivers stuck in pedestrian induced traffic). So fun!
I was on the road for about 5 hours today*, and happy to get back into the city before traffic brought the Gardiner to a slow crawl. I mention this because it took planning this morning to get the kids to school and be sure I had my food packaged and weighed and ready. I'm still working through a bunch of weekend leftovers, so I didn't have to do too much. Batch cooking is the way to go when eating this way!
*(Before you think "Yikes, that sucks!" I'll have you know that I love driving, especially by myself, because I get to sing at the top of my lungs to the radio, or listen to my favourite podcasts... and at this stage in life I don't get to be by myself very often)
What I ate today:
0.307 kg Honeydew melon
0.114 kg Carrots
0.137 kg Banana
0.000 kg Baked potato (there's one pictured there, I just didn't end up eating it)
0.173 kg Broccoli, steamed
0.382 kg Aloo Gobi Mataar
0.036 kg Spinach, raw

2 tsp green tea leaves and 10 or so cups of hot water
Exercise: Walked 7.2 km in 75 minutes
https://www.flickr.com/photos/95182338@N07/I just wanted to add that I am just slightly over 5' tall. Why? Well, the calories for today (and a couple of other days) look quite low, but I really did eat all that I wanted and the total weight of the food is in line with how much I've been eating in general. This is just another example of calorie density in action. I ate mostly veg and fruit and the calories dropped. The daily calorie count doesn't seem so extremely low once you know that I am a very short, middle-aged woman.
Anyhow, I had a good day today and I hope you did too!
