Day 11 - Fresh fruit and vegetables...

I walked for about 40 minutes this morning. It is getting lighter all the time and the rain stayed away so that was good.

*

Day 11 - Breakfast - 2 slices wholemeal toast with vegemite, scrape of butter

fresh squeezed orange juice and glass of water. I forgot to have a coffee (so I am obviously not an addict!)

*

Lunch - off to Mt.G to have my nails done and do some jobs. I packed a wholemeal sandwich with turkey, cranberry sauce, lettuce, carrot, onion and cheese; a tub of yoghurt and a banana.

That way I am not tempted to seek out junk food.

*

Dinner - picking Angus up from the airport so we will have Thai.

*

I went to She's Apples in Mt.G and bought some lovely fresh produce. This lot totalled $48.75

I resisted temptation and did not go into Baker's Delight which is next to She's Apples!

How do these prices compare with your fresh produce? I think this place is more expensive but the produce seems so much fresher and vibrant than the 'stupor-markets'. I am only buying for 3 of us and most of the fruit will be consumed by me.

I have cut up some watermelon, rockmelon, strawberries and pineapple and made fruit salad for our dessert for when we get home tonight. Yummo! A dollop of yoghurt, maybe?
*
That's me for another day, not much happening in this neck of the woods, just being and doing...not much.
