Today was another tough one, for various reasons.
One... I wasn't really hungry for the food I had planned/prepared. I was supposed to have eggs with my breakfast but I just wasn't feeling it, so I only had an orange and some nuts. Then at lunch, the leftover roast chicken I brought tasted kinda funky and kinda made me gag, so I skipped it and just had a bunch of sliced up veggies. I was 0 for 2. Surprisingly, though, I was full and didn't really start to get hungry until closer to dinnertime.
Then... well... I don't really want to get into details right now, but we got some bad news today that hit us like a sack of bricks and my "WHAM, EAT ALL THE THINGS!" instinct kicked in. We stopped on the way home from work to take my mom to CVS to pick up some things and it took every ounce of energy I had not to say fuck it and get dinner from the McDonald's a couple doors down.
We didn't, though. We came home and made our yummy taco burger salads and tried to unwind and put the day behind us.
I don't know if that instinct will ever truly go away. I was hoping it would. Maybe it'll just take more time?
Overall, today could've been much better, but we didn't go off plan and that means there's at least SOMETHING to be proud of.
Other than that, our shipment of Tessemae's stuff came in today! One of my coworkers (who is also currently doing a Whole30) recommended Tessemae's dressings to me and we picked up their balsamic dressing at Whole Foods the other weekend... well... thankfully we bought two bottles because we have already finished one! Anyway, we ordered some more of that, plus a few other Whole30-compliant condiments they sell, INCLUDING KETCHUP. And barbecue sauce. And mayonnaise! There's no telling if ANY of this stuff is gonna taste good, but it is totally worth it to find out if it means I might have something to make everything taste less blahhhhhhh. Stay tuned for the results of our taste testing. ;)
That's about all I have for today, kids. I'm wiped.
What I Ate:
Breakfast: An orange and a handful of nuts.
Lunch: Sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, strawberries. A couple of failed attempts at some chicken.
Dinner: Taco burger salad: a grilled hamburger on a bed of lettuce, with homemade guacamole (I outdid myself this time!) and homemade pico (bleh -- I let Derek talk me into adding cilantro. Yuck!), and a heaping helping of hot sauce.
How I Feel:
Emotionally drained, but not related to Whole30. Physically I feel about the same as normal. I'm noticing that I'm a little more productive at work but I'm not sure if that's Whole30-related, or if it has to do with having projects at the moment that are pretty interesting. Either way, bonus!
Otherwise, samey-same.
Keep on keepin' on!
