No new selections today, which was hectic. I did incorporate some selections that are on their way to becoming regulars in my diet! Happily, it's only 10 days into this adventure, and just 2 of the 30 selections have yet to be used. They are lentils and barley, both of which I already know that I like. Each certainly and easily will be incorporated.
Today's hecticness was worth it because it resulted in part to advancing a chosen luxury. I attended a free user group conference for the Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking sftware product. This software is a chosen luxury to help with my DIM Memories project. For so many reasons, I am pleased that I took time to attend this conference! Now I have to make time to use my Dragon regularly, which will advance my family and fun factors.

Food Focus / Selections - day 8
Today's selections included some that were incorporated previously. Two selections were added -- chard and kidney beans. It was nice to rediscover the beans, which I often simply forget about.
I never have had chard before, so incorporating it was part of making this healthiest foods adventure a success. It ended up being a fun find!
One of the many things I am learning on this healthiest foods adventure is that making healthy choices is not too difficult or burdensome. Often, it takes time. However, it's not always too much time and it's worth it.
This adventure also has precipitated so many thoughts, such as: making choices; prioritizing; and what's easy is not always best.

Food Focus /selections - Day 6
Slim pickins' today, with only the following selections: skim milk; eggs; peanut butter; and blueberries. Super spices sparse too, with only black and red pepper. Oh well, better than nothing.
On the bright side, I totally enjoyed the pizza, cake, and ice cream. Tomorrow is another day, and it will be a better one on the food front.

Food / spice selections - Day 4
Today's selections were: quinoa; skim milk; almonds; spinach; olive oil; chicken breasts; pumpkin; and nonfat Greek yogurt. Spice selections were: black pepper; cinnamon; garlic powder; ginger; and thyme.
The ginger was a bit different because I used crystallized ginger! A fun find was pumpkin spread! I was trying to figure out how to incorporate pumpkin into my selections. While browsing through The Village Market, one of my chosen luxuries, I discovered pumpkin spread, which I did not know existed. It was a delicious accent to my dinner salad. Adding to the fun was putting the spread on a slice of the cheese bread loaf I got as a birthday treat from Seven Stars Bakery.
On the food front, this was a delightfully delicious day. For that, I am grateful, primarily because this day otherwise was quite challenging. I choose to focus on the positive. Enough said.

Food Focus / Selections / Day 3
Selections from the healthiest foods list were: peanut and almond butters; blueberries; egg; kidney beans; and broccoli. The only super spice selection today was black pepper. Lots of drive time and hectic office time resulted in on the go eating. Happily, selections were better than usual based on my healthy choices focus!
