    Hi @Carla_wfpb - I love the onion soup! And thank you for the compliment, Eating well has been a real evolution for me. It's nice to get a thumbs up from someone that it doesn't look odd to (I got to explain to a friend that I would still be a vegan on Super Bowl Sunday!)

    Today went well:
    B - coffee, spinach, flax seed & blueberry smoothie
    L - big salad with cucumber-kiwi dressing
    S - apple slices and a couple of walnuts
    D - steamed spinach and *No Pasta (zucchini) Lasagna* from the ETL Cookbook. The lasagna is very festive and fun, but I may be tired of it by the time I finish it, as it makes 8 generous servings! Will see if the rest of the family wants to help.

    I know I've been eating pretty well over the last month because my dinner out last night tasted very salty and i very much noticed the oil! Other than that it was good. I asked about vegan options and they had several things on the menu that they can make with steamed tofu. It is nice to have a flexible dining option nearer to us.

    Grocery shopping wasn't done this morning which makes for a long day tomorrow with shopping, washing produce and batching all in one.

    Austin, not odd at all! Spot on for ETL and a long healthy life. You are not alone having to explain things like being vegan on Super Bowl either. I had my mom trying to get me to eat meat for Christmas.

    Hi y'all! Carla, I love that yarn! Good luck with all your prepping today. Austin, it's funny I've been vegan for over 7 years and was vegetarian before that, and it was several years before people seemed to totally accept this is for real, 24/7/365.

    I have been dealing with some upheaval in life the past week and having trouble focusing on anything, including ETL, although it is habit enough after so many years that I have not strayed far. I did eat a few things over the past couple days like some vegan cheese pizza and some snack chips, but I am nipping that in the bud. It won't fix the problems, I know that. Plan for today:

    B - sprouted grain toast with spinach, tomato and avocado
    L - big ol' salad
    D - sauteed greens topped with cheezy chickpeas

    Anyone have inspiration for a February thread? I was trying to think of something Fuhrman and February but that's as far as my brain got.

    Hey @Mihani - I hope things calm down for you soon.

    I got through Super Bowl Sunday and stayed with ETL choices for the day. Yay!

    Ideas for the Feb thread:
    - Eating for Excellence?
    - Forward with Fuhrman?
    - Following Fuhrman?
    - Vegan for Valentine's?
    - February Fitness & Fun?

    By the way, I got to hear part of a recent presentation by Dr. Fuhrman. The words he wanted you to write down at the start were "moderate calorie restriction in an environment of micronutrient excellence."

    On a food-related note, the no-pasta lasagna is aging well. It's a "make again!"
