1 1/2 tbsp maple-balsamic vinaigrette
AND 3+ HOURS OF TAI CHI! (worked it REALLY hard; felt great!)
Saturday February 1st
It was my birthday, so I splurged and ate out at a vegan mexican restaurant for lunch, and went for dinner at another restaurant. I was at a tai chi workshop for the weekend so definitely got a lot of exercise. I also bought a cleaning brush for my glass straws (which I *love* and have had for many years now) as well as a small cloth scroll wall hanging (purple background with chakra symbols in different colours down the cloth). It's purty. ;)
2 mugs peppermint tea with stevia
3 bananas
1 apple Larabar
7c water
2 multivitamins
Lunch: raw pizza (soooooo good), smoothie (almonds, hemp seeds, dates, cacao, banana, and vanilla) - very chocolaty, and a raw chocolate-chili truffle (yummers!)
Dinner: salad (spinach, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, 1c quinoa with mango vinaigrette)
2c earl-grey lavender tea with white sugar and a little milk
1c homemade berry crisp (went to visit my great-great-aunt after dinner, hence the crisp and tea)
AND 2+ HOURS OF TAI CHI! (I was there for 6 hours but we weren't continually doing tai chi the whole time)
I just have to share what the menu said about the raw pizza, because it tasted sooooo good: "a buckwheat crust topped with fermented salsa & a sunflower seed and red pepper pate, garnished with grape tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, and walnuts". Seriously SOOOOOOO good.
