Whole30: Day Three, Habaneros Burn.

 Today has been difficult. Wayne had a race at Champoege Park this morning. Handsome men, especially the one with bunny ears. 

I stayed home and was alone until 2:00. I woke up around 7:00. I tossed and turned last night. My congestion was getting too me. I must have been snoring because he moved to the futon in the middle of the night. I woke up with a mild headache, my low back pain has gotten better, just a bit more stiff now. I layed in bed trying to devise my morning plan. I had coffee on the brain. Coffee is approved on the Whole30 plan but I discovered that I hate it black. Even coconut milk doesn't do. I've decided that if I can't enjoy a creamy sweet coffee then I am not even going to try.

I warmed up some of the sweet potato/apple/chicken sausage/bacon hash brown mix and ate that for breakfast. I found some black chai tea I have had for a couple years and decided to try it. Not bad, but also not very good. It needed honey, bummer. I layed in bed with the dog and started to read my new book Paleo Diet for the Athlete. I layed there until 10:00.

I was getting hungry again around 10:30 so I made a second breakfast/early lunch

After eating I did laundry and started getting dinner ready in the crockpot.

I have been craving an iced coffee all day, and something sweet (what is so brutal is that Wayne asked me to make him an iced coffee this afternoon, asshole). Lara bars are saving me during those cravings. I went tanning then hit up freds for fruit and more lara bars. When I walked into the store it hit me. I was probably only allowed to eat 10% of what is in there for groceries. I was so much more aware of the advertising and tried to not look at anything and kept my eyes on produce only. It was really hard to be in there with my current cravings. I got out quick. 

So far my snacks for the day have been:

the other half of my breakfast apple

two pieces of bacon

a banana

cherry lara bar

raspberry earl grey tea

Dakota hoped I would share our bacon.

For dinner we are having this paleo habanero chili I found on pinterest.

Helpful hit: Don't dice a habanero, wash your hands and then rub your nose. That shit still burns.

I am looking forward to this with some avocado. So far water intake is at 70 ounces. 100 ounces is the daily goal. 

While eating dinner we're going to watch a movie. Wayne already told he will be eating popcorn tonight so I am prepared with apples, strawberries and almond butter!

For tomorrow I am hoping the rain holds out and my cold is mostly gone by then. I would like to get in a short run just to see how I feel, a mile or two would be just fine.
