Very veggie spaghetti w/ tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, sweet peppers, shreaded carrots, spinach & steamed broccoli on the side. Sprinkle top w/ nutritional yeast.

Today I showed up @ gym & I was alone, not a soul anywhere. I read the note posted on the door… They’re done, closed tightly. The note directed me to a different gym to continue my membership. A bit further away from home, but a very nice place!

5/13/24

* steamed brussel sprouts

* brown jazmine rice

* black beans w/ fire roasted tomatoes

* air-fried oilfree corn tortilla strips

* pico de gallo w/ mashed avocado

Those meatballs were perfect! I simply mashed some black beans, added dry rolled oats, healthy bbq sauce, added diced mushrooms & seasoning. Then I baked for 20 or 30 minutes. Delish!

EXERCISE:  I’ve been doing early morning powerwalks for 45 minutes inside the local indoor mall. Outdoor weather is getting nice & sunny, but the harsh Springtime winds are not always conducive to a pleasant 5k jog. Brief outdoor post-meal jogs are perfect!

EXERCISE:
* Powerwalk 4k outdoors post-meal

WATER:
(2) × (32) = 64 oz (+)

EATS:
* pinto bowl w/ pinto beans, rice, steamed broccoli, onion, cabbage, cilantro, salsa, avocado
* plain sparkling water w/ shot of soft XL-drink
* hybrid avocado toast (smashed garbanzo beans combined w/ avocado, then spread it on sourdough toast & top w/ sliced tomato, broccoli microgreens), jicama on the side & few jr mints
* grilled bbq’d asparagus & mushrooms

Today I am celebrating TEN YEARS of recording my daily low-SOS  (salt-oil-sugar) vegan lifestyle. Hurray!! Now I will relax, cut back on this daily chore & only record my meal & workouts occasionally.  From this point forward I’ll not keep track of day/year. I’ll just jump-in & post when the Spirit moves me. I’m looking forward to continuing this delicious & life affirming modality!
