THE DAY BEGAN WITH A FRUIT SALAD for Red Day on the Color Wheel Diet. Sliced Honeycrisp red apple, red grapes, bing cherries and raspberries for the RED DAY BREAKFAST SALAD. All organic from Natural Grocers in Topeka. My strawberries were frozen so I'll let these thaw out and use in the Lunch Salad along with more Honeycrisp apple.
Off with a bang. Lunch will be a large Salad made of Red leaf lettuce, red bell peppers, radishes, kidney beans, red beans, honey crisp apple, strawberries, with a sprinkling of cranberry cheese and 2 tablespoons of organic salad dressing made with apple cider vinegar and oil. It should be really good. Supper will be Salmon Steak, beets and red potatoes. Looking forward to this.
Yesterday, I took my list of groceries with me to Topeka to shop. Trying to group together on one day organic foods on one shopping spree day. I already know I will have to make another shopping day for my Green, Blue and Purple days if I don't have enough goods in the fridge.
Had Apple Pecan Salad for lunch from Wendy's and unsweetened iced green Tea from Starbucks which last me 4 hours. Sat in a shady spot in the car to eat. Went to Hy-Vee to purchase some cheese that has cranberries in it and another with blueberries. I'll crumble a small amount of the cranberry cheese over my Lunch Salad today.
After shopping Hy-Vee, we went to God's Storehouse because it was Senior Discount Day. If Tuesday Morning were still open we'd have gone there on this Tuesday. Sigh. I miss them. We'd buy our Ginger Snaps there all the time. I only picked up a couple of items like clear glass Princess House Fantasia cups and saucers. Terrific purchase for a quarter. A quarter! Food feeds me nutritionally, but the thrift shopping feeds my soul and makes me a very happy camper when there are super sales like this. Cha-Ching.
Skipping on over to Natural Grocers, picked up radishes, red leaf lettuce, mixed bell peppers, peaches, apple, green beans, asparagus, boxed soups, salsa. cherries, grapes, kale, red beans, kidney beans, chaired, avocados, beets, olive oil, avocado oil, salsa verde, Yukon potatoes, mints, bananas, raspberries, apricots, Co Q 10, beet powder. Still needed a few more items for Color Wheel Diet.
Stopped by ALDI for salmon steak and then off to Menards for a paint brush. When shopping in Topeka there is quite a lot of driving about. The traffic wasn't so bad today, but it was a hot 90 degrees where the air conditioning ran full blast. We were blessed that the car ran without incident.
THANK YOU, God for showing us where to shop to get healthier foods for our temples. Amen.
It was nice not driving HOME in the dark. Hubby unloaded groceries for me as I rested my back. He is wonderful. Supper was grass fed beef hamburger patties with organic ketch-up, asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce and a small baked potato with iced tea. Supper was late, but oh so good and within calorie intake for the day. A wonderful meal before another week round of the Color Wheel diet.
Ended the night with watching a 1998 made for television movie, THE DAY LINCOLN WAS SHOT to get my fix about this President. It was actually pretty good. I believe I watched it years ago, but since it's been so long, it was like watching it for the first time. The interior designs and costuming were good as well as the acting was.
I liked the way Lincoln was portrayed by actor Lance Henriksen. By historical accounts, Lincoln's voice was not bass like Henriksen's but a higher pitched tenor like actor Daniel Day-Lewis's in the movie, Lincoln. Still it was a good movie. Donna Murphy portraying Mary Todd Lincoln wasn't hysterical enough when Lincoln was dying. According to reports made, she was over the top grief stricken with shrieks crying out with great pain. She could not be consoled and did not attend her husband's funeral. Stayed in bed for a month.
Need to do some laundry and of course some paperwork needing thinned out. And away I go.
TODAY will unfold as it goes and I pray it goes well.
