Breakfast: Oatmeal (from loose granola mixed with almond milk), banana, pineapple tidbits, and flax seeds

Lunch: Recently, just an apple. But I have had quinoa mixed with chana masala, just quinoa, veggie sandwich, and a veggie wrap.

I drink water and have increased my chewing of gum to balance my need for snacking without the snacks.

If I had snacks they would be black bean tortilla chips with hummus, pretzels (order of preference: minis, nuggets, sticks, big sized pretzels), chocolate bars, or peanut butter bars.

Wow, you eat way healthier than I do! Do you bring that from home though especially the lunch stuff or is there somewhere close for you to get that?

Since I am vegan and we just bought a house. I make my own food aside from the store-bought chana masala, hummus, pretzels, and candy bars.

The oatmeal is easy, I prep that a few days in advance and then take out small portions. Then each morning I assemble it in a container and take it with me. I could assemble it in the evening, but I just don't have that in my routine.

Making my own food has definitely helped reduce my food expenses for the month and since I've made it a habit it's easy to follow through.

I didn't realize oatmeal kept. I didn't like it as a kid but maybe I'll give it another shot. Also, is your name related to SG-1? If so, it's always nice to meet another Stargate fan, there's too few of us.

There are millions if us!

I'm a fan of SG1, SGU, and SGA in that order.

I am actually in the process of deciding whether or not to use my real name and/or change my GitHub username to something that resembles my name.

I haven't decided. The biggest fears I have is loss of name recognition and disassociating what I've contributed on other projects from the new name.

Name changes are hard, I would say don't bother changing it unless you become like twitter famous or something. But I'm not super famous, so no reason to listen to me!

Also SGU before SGA? Rare to see that preference! Anyways, is going vegan part of your journey to ascension? :P

No journey to ascension as far as I know. Just got some alone time happened to read some online articles about it and for ethical reasons decided to make the change.

Figuring out a way to have sweets was very helpful in keeping me on track.

As far as I SGA, I still like all the shows of Stargate, I just was ready for a show with a different formula than SG1.
