 Hi, everyone!

I've had another really good day today-- I even cooked! I mean, I kind of made it up as I went along, but still, I cooked! 

I simmered garlic, onions, and diced zucchini in a pan, added a whole can of (drained, rinsed) lentils, a little bit of tomato paste, and a little bit of veggie broth, and let it cook down for a while. At the same time, I boiled two cups of rotini pasta. When the pasta was almost done, I added a handful of spinach and a half-cup of Rao marinara sauce to the lentils, left it for another five minutes or so while I drained the pasta, and then added the pasta to the pot with the sauce, cut the heat off, and then mixed it all together. It was DELICIOUS and definitely an entry into the clean plate club. I'm going to be making this on repeat. 

Also, I am still under 310, so maybe it wasn't a fasting fluctuation? If so, then I've lost 80 pounds! 

It's past bedtime and I have class in the morning. 

Until next time,

Simone

 Hi, everyone!

Today I had the best day, in terms of productivity and executive function but also just general well-being, that I've had in a while. I discovered a new safe food, and, my fellow Americans, we have been sleeping on the most elite breakfast: baked beans on toast. It's vegan (if you use plant butter on the toast and make sure to buy beans that aren't cooked with ham or bacon), it's pretty quick, it's easy, and it's full of protein! I had that, some canned pear slices, and a vanilla protein shake, and it was basically the perfect meal. So that is for sure going in the rotation. 

Spring break is coming to a close, and I got a lot less done around the house than I meant to, but I feel okay about that. You also may have noticed my weight-- very cool, but I'm not going to get too excited about it, since it was the day after a 24-hour fast and a lot of what I lost is probably water weight, and will probably be back tomorrow. But it's still cool to see numbers like that, and I know it's just a preview of what I'll achieve in the future! 

Until next time,

Simone

 Hi, everyone!

Well, thanks to the hormones, I've been in my feelings all day. I didn't get much done today, but I did take a shower (a very high-difficulty executive function task for me) so I'm proud of that. A full-day water-only fast during Shark Week is rough. But I did it! I have a feeling it's going to be an early night for me. I'm totally wiped. 

Until next time,

Simone
