Day 5

It's 7:30 pm on Sunday.  This weekend was extremely dull.  I'm saying that in the nicest possible way.  I'm thinking about this food thing waaaay too much and it's pretty much taken over my brain.

I wish I could look forward to a normal work day tomorrow.  It would probably take my mind off this.  As it stands I'll probably have an early workout and then a few hours in the studio before going to Charlotte.  I'm heading to the city with Sarah.  While she sees a few clients I'm going to go buy clay and then hit Trader Joe's for groceries.  Normally I'd look forward to a trip to TJ's but tomorrows trip just means thinking more about what food I can and cannot eat.

I'm grumpy.  And not satisfied.  And maybe bored.  Really this seems pretty pathetic to feel like this.  Am I that controlled by my food?  Do I need to get a life?  Ha!  Of course the cold and wetness of today has not made me feel like doing a whole lot.  Winter sucks for me anyway.  Maybe I should have taken this on in summer.  When there's tons of good, fresh food around and I am more active.

It's Day 5 and I'm tired of meat, eggs and coconut.  And I sure as hell don't want to see a sweet potato until at least Wednesday.  Maybe tomorrow I just need to focus on salad.

Breakfast:  Pretty much the same old thing except we had some brats from Poverty Creek Farm.

I was okay with that meal.  And we didn't eat till about 11:30 am so we didn't have a lunch.

I spent the afternoon on the computer doing some work and then got in the studio for a little while.  Sarah has been busy on the computer most of the day doing stuff for her work and paying bills and such.  I mentioned that we'd be eating leftover curry for dinner and I don't think either one of us thought much of that.

Sarah has been frustrated.  She never eats much meat to begin with and most of what I have been cooking or thinking about cooking has focused on meat.  I think we are both discouraged.  I joked about going out to get a burger and fries and we reveled in that moment.

Then we heated up the leftovers and had dinner. No pic necessary.

Tomorrow we'll try again.  Breakfast and lunch won't be a big deal.  We will probably be in Charlotte for dinner.  I'm thinking we'll be able to have a successful meal out somewhere that will be nice and satisfying.  I hope so anyway.  I need a boost.

Most of the CrossFit Shelby group are starting the Whole 30 tomorrow.  It will be good to see how they do.  Only a handful of us started on the 1st and we've been supportive on our FB page.  It's gonna blow up this week as more join in I think.  Should be interesting.

Time for a cup of herbal tea and some reading.  Then early to bed I think.
