Planning ahead

I've never been the kind of person who plans out their meals weeks in advance, or lays their clothes out the night before in preparation of the coming work day. I usually wing it when I go grocery shopping, and decide on what to wear while I'm standing in my closet still wiping the morning sleep out of my eyes.

Preparation, I'm learning, is very important if I want to commit to a healthy way of eating. Yes, I recently had a nice reminder of this --- when I found myself suffering very bad tummy pains after being too lazy to make anything for dinner, no "quick and easy" raw food snacks available, and ended up munching on way too many of D's potato chips.

Preparation.
Say it five times fast.

Okay, so back in my little non-cooking/kitchen world I took a deep breath and told myself that I HAVE to plan ahead if I'm going to eat right and stay in this wonderful happy healthy place that I'm still so very knew to.
Yep, that's my simple little realization.
While I may not be able to see the future of my daily fashion statements, I know I'm getting better at daily meal planning.

So in staying on course, tonight I'm dehydrating an enormous batch of what I'm calling "The Ultimate raw Veggie Burgers" (recipe and photos to come - very soon), a ton of crimini mushrooms (my favorite "meat" substitute"), and a bunch of bell peppers.

Oh, and here's what I had for dinner on Thursday night...
