I stopped getting on a scale when I was able to get into my favorite dark blue jeans and wear them comfortably all day. That made me think that I look thinner and I don't want a scale to tell me it's all in my head.
I've been eating a lot of barley. I'm basically making fried rice only with barley instead of rice. I like the nutty flavor. I think barley combines really well with a wide variety of vegetables, whether onions and garlic or carrots, broccoli and various greens.
I'm also eating a lot of fruit, mostly citrus this time of year, but also bananas and blueberries.
Finally, I'm eating a lot of beans and lentils which are warming and filling.
What I'm missing the most are potatoes. I love potatoes, fixed any way it's possible to fix them. My favorite though is the simple baked potato, the lazy cook's best friend. I can't even write about them this briefly without longing for one.
I think I'll go eat a handful of pecans.
