Day 9

I neglected to post yesterday, but I did not neglect to exercise!

I went out and about around 5 yesterday and came back around 6:45. I did some jogging for, oh, 35 or 40 minutes, and then just walked around my neighborhood. Even found a little park I had no idea existed! It was pretty funny/cute - it abuts a canyon and is nestled between two houses. It is tiny! Made me chuckle anyway.

Today I went to the farmer's market, but I got a later start then I like. It gets so busy, I really prefer to get there earlier. Also, my strawberry guy was sold out by the time I showed up!! So, I had to procure them elsewhere. Oh, the burdens of life. How do I manage?? Anyway, I am most excited about two new greens I picked up. I have mustard greens which should make my veggie pita lunches extraordinary next week. And then I got something called sorrel which has a delicious lemony flavor. Sadly I cannot find an image that looks like my purchase! But that's what they told me it was anyway.

I am making some navy bean soup right now. It will be my go to meal for the week. It has navy beans, obviously, and peppers (they were about to die so I did not want to eat them raw), carrots, celery, and onion. When it is done it will also feature tomato sauce (hm...maybe!) and beet greens. Should be good. It for sure is healthy!

I weighed myself last night which is good AND bad. Bad because it makes me sad! Good because I tend to lie to myself about things I don't want to face. I'll keep going with eating healthy and exercising and I won't have to feel bad about it any longer!
