Day 1...Reality Check

I was very excited to begin my 100 mile diet...then I woke up this morning.
A night with my sister and her family, celebrating being together after many moons of apart-ness, made for a difficult first chapter in this story of mine.
I thought I was adequately prepared for today...made a trip to the Farmer's Market to stock up yesterday and mom & dad gave me some veggies from their garden, knowing I would need to take with me, anything I would need to eat at my sister's. Did not think about the fact that potatoes, broccoli, carrots, flax seeds, garlic, and kale would not suffice when faced with this morning.
Regardless, I sliced up some potatoes while my brother-in-law made a hearty breakfast of hash browns, eggs, and cheese whiz for everyone else (yes- cheese whiz). I ended up eating some eggs (strike one?) with my potatoes and coffee (my "outside 100 miles" keeper) and filled up pretty fast.
Meal one: check.
We made our way home and I managed to get everything cleaned and put away...then I read a produce book I am using to educate myself on the ins and outs of buying, storing, and cooking seasonal eats and found out that washing lettuce before refrigerating speeds up the wilting process . Darn.
Anyone have any other tidbits of info that could be useful to me at this point?
I am planning to purchase the produce book of all produce books pronto- in the hopes that it will save me any more mishaps.
Lessons Learned Day 1:
-Think "breakfast" when purchasing foods to eat at loved one's house (when I can).
- Do NOT wash lettuce before refrigerating/storing (thanks for the paper towel tip mom!).
- Start buying larger quantities of the foods to be canned or frozen.
- Cold turkey 100 miling it is very difficult. I succumbed to the organic apples and cherries here at home (strike 2/3?) due to a craving for fruit (realized I had not bought any at the market yesterday).
- I should have signed up for a CSA farm share.

Tomorrow: To the market (fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit...)
Look up info on canning and freezing fruits and veggies
Trip to the co-op (using the list of local suppliers from the website)
Decide where I will be more laxed on this plan...dining out, coffee, staying with others, trips, etc. to make this more realistic and easier to continue.
