day 52

breakfast:
green tea

lunch:

i started watching this documentary "food matters" on netflix today. it was equally powerful, eye-opening, and disheartening. i didn't stop to think about how old produce is from when i purchase it to when i consume it. i always knew the value of shopping at farmers markets in the sense of cutting costs on traveling and supporting local farms. but the fact that the produce loses most of its nutrients after a few days, and after it's exposed to heat got me feeling frustrated in what i have been trying to achieve in the last 50 days. so i whipped me up a bowl of raw goodness.

spinach, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers in a balsamic dressing. ooh baby i like it raw.

dinner:

i hung out with fanny most of the afternoon. with this heatwave, she thought it might be a good idea to walk around the air-conditioned mall with emily. between the baby and jack, we never made it out of the house! it felt good helping her out, and chatting with her. we had a late dinner with mike at santana row while ryan experimented with intermittent fasting at home. since we were all starving, we ordered appetizers at veggie grill while waiting for our table at the counter. buffalo wings with ranch dressing and vegan nachos. it may have been because we were starving, but we scarfed down those plates quickly! just in time for my vegan burger next door!
