Depressed?

Thought about something this morning;
You know, when you are feeling blue, or life is a little more of a struggle then it should be, Just Do Something. I had someone once explain to me that, physiologically, you can not be depressed or feel down, if you create movement. (Movement within your cells.) This is a simple as doing the dishes, polishing your shoes or cleaning up. Your are "creating progress" as long as you do that, you will not and can not feel down. Oops...here I go again, sorry... back to FOOD!

Breakfast;
Left over salad from last night, couple handfuls of almonds. FYI, I do not buy my almonds organic, as the cost of those is just insane. Most almonds sold here come from California. I have read/heard that almonds will be pasteurized starting in August. That might change my buying choice. Anyone heard about this?

Lunch;
Cllient lunch, went to a Thai restaurant. Had some Tom Kha soup. Spicy coconut soup with mushrooms scallion and chicken. Nothing too bad for eating out.

snack; was craving some chocolate.... had 3 pieces.

Dinner; 2 small lamb chops, large salad with some balsamic vinaigrette. Glass of red wine.

Simple is good...

Early morning tennis workout involved lots of sweating.....it's around 82 at 7 in the morning lately. (Southwest Florida)

So drank a good amount of water and kept breakfast simple.
Some watemelon (3 medium size chunks) and almonds. around 15 or so.
Not very hungry.

Lunch; Keftedes. what you say????? Nothinh fancy, they are greek meatballs (many restaurants will use breadcrumbs in them) easy to make and very tasty. combined with Tzatziki. (yogurt, cucumber and garlic) Had it with lettuce and cucumber. You could easily have this if you are at a greek restaurant or deli. Just don't eat the pita bread ;-)

Dinner; organic red leaf lettuce, organic cherry tomatoes, yellow pepper, cucumber (a lot of it), scallions and a the following dressing...... some vegenaise, little olive oil and roasted garlic balsamic vin. Makes a really yummy dressing and a little different. Try it.
