Skipped blogging yesterday. I could lie to you and say it's because I sooo busy but the truth is I just didn't wanna. I woke up tired. I was moody and my cravings for something sweet are kind of intense right now. Fruit helps but all I can think is 2 more weeks and I can have a donut. Yeah, I need to get that thought right out of my head...
Days 12 & 13
How the book says I'll feel: "I dream of...junk food?" Cravings. Cravings. Cravings. Along with some good energy.
How I actually feel: Oh ok...so this is normal? I'm having trouble (donuts!) staying focused. These (eclair!) cravings are serious right now. And I'm realizing (doritos!) how many ads there are on everything. Every marketing ploy (cookies!) is working on me. Look how delicious that cereal looks (mmm...cereal!) as the milk splashes on it in slow motion. Oh God, I'm drooling now.
I'm staying on track though. Breakfast both days has been a combination of eggs and veggies. That part of the routine is getting a bit tiresome. Cooking eggs every morning at the crack of dawn. How I long for the days of a quick piece of toast.
My hunger pangs have been kicking in around noonish. Which is about right. And, again, I've held on to my committment. Yesterday we had sausage with roasted butternut squash and today I had tuna salad. All very satisfying.
My 2 pm slump has returned these last two days though with me wanting to lay down for a few minutes. Just a few days ago I was bouncing off of the walls. What is this?
For dinner these two days, we've had some fun with new recipes. Last night I made the Thai Coconut Soup recipe from the Whole30 book. It was super yummy and not like anything I've ever made.
A few notes in case anyone tries this recipe. I added shrimp because I just thought it would make it better. I was right. And I also used dried lemongrass because fresh lemongrass was nowhere to be found. This made it lemonier than I think it was supposed to be. Next time, will add more coconut milk to cut the lemon flavor. Still very good though.
For dinner tonight, we made two recipes from the book. Mashed Cauliflower. Yes!!! And the Tangy BBQ sauce. Meh. We put it on grilled pork tenderloin and it was pretty good but come on, book, that's not bbq sauce. Kind of disappointing.
Husband says: Also been thinking about junk food. Finally exercised and I was spent. Guess I need more fuel to work out more. They talk about that in the book. Now, I know. It seems like a pound or two has come back on. I don't know what's happening there.
Bonus: Had a facial yesterday. The esthetician remarked on how nice my skin was. Squeeee!!!!
