10.20-10.22.11

Oh goodness!

What a few days.  PT, the trainer and a long walk/ run today and I'm ready to curl up on the couch and watch some Pride and Prejudice and drink hot cider on this chilly and drizzly day.

The good news:

1. I am quitting flour. No more fried dough.
2. I'm quitting refined sugar. I have a sweet tooth the likes of which the world has never seen. So it's time to take a gander at some vegan sweets.
3. I'm quitting potatoes. Tonight will be my last round of roasted potatoes and I'm not buying anymore.

What I did buy today was a pie pumpkin and some crazy looking squash. It's called a buttercup squash and looks like what happens when an acorn squash and flying saucer have a baby.

Here's what I've been eating:

To expound on the good news today- I just received clearance to run a 5K in December and was allowed to do my first development run today.  I was only allowed to run a half a mile, but embedded in my 3 mile walk, it was delightful. I'm stoked to get to continue.

I have a ton of cooking to get to: tomato basil soup, pumpkin risotto, squash torte with a spinach crust and caramel apple crisp. I'm trying to do serious food prep on the weekends and eat from it the rest of the week. We'll see how it works.

Have a great day!
