Today was a much better day. I started the day off right- with breakfast! I ate sun-butter on toast with honey. I think I eat less sugar when I am only eating locally grown; the sun-butter and honey tasted very sweet. It was good though and I had enough energy to last until lunch.
For lunch I ate a summer sausage, sprouts, cheese, and butter sandwich, yogurt with granola, Honest Tea, and fruit leather. This diet seems a little repeptitive, but I think if you were to stick with it for more than a week you would be able to buy more variety. Today I planned ahead for dinner and ate a burger and salad with milk. After work I had a root beer float! It was very exciting and very tasty.
I am finally fully comfortable eating locally. Yesterday was very discouraging, but I got over the worst part of the week and now I am sad to think I only have two more days! Today it seemed completely natural to eat only locally grown food.
I did not have any huge epiphanies about eating locally grown food today, simply that it is comfortable now, planning ahead makes for a much happier day, and eating locally grown food can be done.
Interesting that though it was very different to eat locally at first that already it is becoming more natural. And, you are still in the first week. I wonder, though, if you were do to this for an entire winter of limited variety how you might feel at the end of that?
