I'm off for three days in Indiana at my family reunion. I won't be tracking, but I won't go too crazy with the eating either. (Dozens of relatives will be watching every bite I take.) We'll be at a state park, so I hope to get a little hiking in, in addition to plenty of chitchat with the relatives.

Have a great time, mac!

Today, which is ostensibly over.. except for some ice water
weight stable-ish at 149-150

coffee x2, 1.5 tsp sugar total

a couple of swedish pancakes w/splash of maple syrup

two bowls of Red Soup

Red Soup -
cooked separately
- one onion chopped and roasted in 1 tbs canola
- 4 strips bacon sauteed and drained, pan cleaned
- several cups of water and 1/2 big can of M. Glen tomatoes simmered with 1/2 package of baby bella mushrooms chopped and two cut up chipotle chiles in adobo
1 cup of bhutan red rice added, more simmering;
the onions added with their small amount of juice;
3/4 cup previously cooked and frozen cranberry beans added as the rice was starting to get done;
2 small previously baked now skinned + diced red potatoes added with
chopped bacon, more simmering.

Voila, it worked. I would have added some sweet red pepper if I'd had any. As usual, lots left over. I explained that a lot as it's a recipe I want to remember.

I indulged a bit at the family reunion, but not too bad. (I'll know for sure at my lunchtime weigh-in today.) The hiking was fun, and I enjoyed seeing the relatives. So good trip all in all. I'm looking forward to the next one even more!

Good girl, mac!
