You’re going to see repeating photos from yesterday. I had a lot of the same foods. Breakfast was an egg on a whole wheat English muffin and black coffee, made by my spouse. We love the Hamilton Beach sandwich maker. It makes breakfast a breeze.
Later that morning I had a cup of tea. I’ll buy another box when this one is done. I really like it.
I had two of these Lara bars, one mid morning and the other late afternoon. I had two macadamia nuts with the second bar, but I forgot to take a photo of it. It’s hard to get used to taking photos of everything you eat.
For lunch I had a bowl of homemade lentil soup. I have a lot of this soup left, it’s going to show up for many days to come.
Check out this monster strawberry! This is the biggest one I’ve ever seen! I split it with my spouse and then had a second strawberry (about a third of the size of this one), but again, I forgot to take a photo of it.
This was my dinner. It was a monster salad with balsamic vinaigrette. I was craving it all day. It’s pretty awesome for me when I crave salad. I made it with spinach, cherry tomatoes, a shredded carrot, red pepper, cucumber, shredded cheese and cashews. I topped it with a packet of pita strips and slivered almonds. This came out of another salad packet that someone gave me. She doesn’t like the salad toppers that come in the kits. What the what!?!? That’s the best part of the salad! I had this salad with a big glass of oat milk.
I had a couple sips of my spouses gin and juice cocktail, I made it for him after he finished mowing the lawn. I was going to do that today, but he beat me to it. This cocktail is delicious! I don’t like gin, but I like this drink and I’ll tell you how I make it. Take a small bottle of cheap gin and throw in about 6 sticks of Juicy Fruit gum. Let it soak in there over night and then strain it (be careful because the Juicy Fruit will be soft and will get all over everything. To make the cocktail, use the juice of half a squeezed lemon, a shot of the infused gin, and then 1/2 a cup to 1 cup of sprite. It’s fantastic.
I’m currently drinking a pineapple Bubly and have finished eating for the day. I did great today! I know I should drink more water, but I’m not there yet.

Good job!! I LOVE salads. And I agree – the crunchy stuff is awesome. I like sunflower seeds on salad a lot. The gin infused with Juicy Fruit gum is interesting!! Was that your idea or did you hear it somewhere? I like gin with sparkling flavored water, like lime or lemon flavored (same idea as the Sprite, but without the sugar). That strawberry is massive!! I used to pick strawberries every summer as a kid – from like age 9 to 15 or 16 – and never saw one that big in the fields!

The gin cocktail was inspired by a drink I had at Proof Restaurant in Waterloo. It was made with Juicy Fruit infused gin and was mind blowing. This is my guess at what it was made from. I think I’ve gotten pretty close! I like my cocktails super sweet. Good for you for cutting that out of them. Yes that was a BEEFIEST strawberry I have ever seen!
