My meatless day

I'm trying to cut out meat and poultry for a while. So today, this is what I had...

Two Ryvita (rye) crackers with fat free cream cheese
1 Ripe Banana
some raw cashews


1/2 cup pasta (dry measure)
1/2 can tuna in water
1/2 cup red kidney beans
string beans
tomato
1 large slice avocado pear
olive oil

3/4 cup garbanzo beans (channa, chick peas)
string beans
pumpkin
broccoli
curry sauce (left over from that Sunday dinner many weeks ago...freezer is a
blessing)
Dahl pouri roti skin
some raw cashews

So apart from the tuna, all I've had is veggies and legumes and pulses for the day, and I've been rather full for the day.

Tomorrow I'll mix up the left over peas and see what I can come up with.

Now the scale today, I wanted to call it a &$^#%$ liar, as was in that picture I posted some time ago. Today, it showed that I weigh 213.4 pounds. I had to stand on the scale for a few minutes to let it settle and see if in fact that was correct. Apparently. Yesterday I was 216.9. Don't tell me I lost so much water between yesterday and today??

Anyway, I will continue with this meatless kind of eating and see where the scale takes me.
