Day 3 of 30

I'm tired, grumpy, and hormonal...this has nothing to do with my diet - it's just a fact. Now that I put that out there I can continue.

I went to a natural foods market after work to pick up a few things (including some date rolls - which are just mashed up medjools rolled in unsweetened shredded coconut - I'm keeping them around to slice off the tiniest bit just in case things get ugly - read - when I finally start my period) and while I was looking around all of a sudden it felt like everything was off limits. It was like wanting someone who had a crush on you who you didn't have a crush on but the second they start seeing someone you get all weird - this hasn't happened to me but apparently such things occur..wait um what was I saying? Oh yes, food. Even though I didn't want..say..a slice of pizza, a wrap, or biscotti it just seemed like anything and everything that was available premade had some form of sugar, impermissible oil, grain/cereal/or pseudo grain, white potato, or other 'naughty' ingredient. I managed find a permissible dressing for my salad and after much probing found that one of my favorite blended beverages was a-okay (and I split it so I found the mild indulgence justifiable). I feel satiated and although I consumed a bit more fruit sugar than I realized - I did pretty damn good.

Also as a side note -

You know you have gnarly taste in cheese when the rotting trash from the can you are about to empty wafts up in your face and you think to yourself "Man, I could really go for a hunk of Winnimere..."
