throwing bricks at the moon

day one: i'm off and running! spoonful of natural peanut butter and coffee for breakfast; tuna on rice cakes for lunch; rice crackers for dinner; and the worst banana boat ever for late night snack. day one was a success but only in the strictest sense of the word.

i need to properly prepare food for each meal, not just try to eat on the run. that will make a big difference in the quality of the food. also, trying to replace what i would normally eat with 'healthy' alternatives isn't the way to go. it's expensive and disappointing. (in other words, banana boats with sugar free chocolate and no marshmallows just aren't worth the effort. lesson learned. tough stuff.)

ewww! that seems to lack appeal. go to the library and get yourself a recipe book (s) for ideas.

cans o' beans are easy and pretty tasty. any of those chick peas, black beans, romano, or even mixed! add olive oil, salt, and cumin (best spice for), and may be some red onion. heated or not! I used to just bring a can of beans to work and open it, rinse it there. Add a big unwashed carrot to push your hair back from your face a la Christopher Walken - it's the best! glad to see your blog happening! I didn't even know!
