Can’t look 🔙

I was setting up camp tonight wishing I had a cold beer to crack open, some sausage to grill up and cookies to snack on. But those days of my younger years are beyond me.

The truth is I don’t miss the hang overs or feeling like I’m so stuffed that I need to be rolled over. I think my meals taste better – fresh onions, tomatoes, mini potatoes, spinach and tofu really are great fried up with the right amount of salt and pepper. The fresh blueberries and strawberries and apples are great, as are the roasted chickpeas. It fills me up with energy not calories.

But it’s still an adjustment. I like how I’m starting to look and how much more energy I have. I think my camp meals taste much better. Things are less boring as I really try to chat things up meal to meal while still using healthy, natural ingredients. Yet it’s not the world I once knew.
