I think I might turn into a nut. Maybe a Macadamia nut or an Almond nut, but
definitely some kind of nut. The winter
storm rolled through leaving me stuck in the house which means my snacking
radar was on high alert. And seeing how
my quick grab and go options were limited and I didn’t feel like creating a
snack from scratch, I ate a lot of nuts.
Handfuls and handfuls. I
completely lost count and by the time dinner rolled around I wasn’t very
hungry. I don’t know what has gotten
into me the last couple of days but I really want to go back in time to Days
1-5 when I felt completely satisfied with each meal and I wasn’t on that
emotional rollercoaster of hunger. To
make matters worse, my boys have brought home their Valentine’s candy and are
constantly waving it around in my face.
Asking me to hold half-eaten lollipops and open mini packages of
chocolate. You’re killing me!
The meals for the day weren’t bad.
Day 9
Breakfast
I started whipping up some scrambled eggs and remembered I
had a zucchini in the fridge that I hadn’t used yet. So I chopped that up and added it to the
eggs. I decided to bake the bacon rather
than fry it and let me tell you, that was the best bacon I have ever
cooked. Yum!
Lunch
We had leftover chicken chili from the night before along
with a coconut biscuit and a sliced green apple with almond butter. Super tasty.
Snack
Macadamia nuts, hard-boiled egg, Macadamia nuts, Almonds, 2
more Macadamia nuts just to tide me over until dinner. Almonds dipped in guacamole and a slice of
prosciutto. No wonder I wasn’t hungry
for dinner.
Dinner
Pulled Pork and roasted turnips and broccoli with plenty of
leftovers for tomorrow. Yay for
leftovers! They make life so much
easier.
Now, as for Day 10, I want to have words with you. No more taunting me with my kids’ candy, don’t
you dare let me eat gobs and gobs of nuts and please let me go one day without
craving endless amounts of food.
