Mary's Kitchen: Day 3

The sugar craving kicked in big time today...had to snack on some cashews and grapes to suppress the urge not to just grab a big spoonful of frosting and devour it :( However, as the day went on I decided it wasn't worth failing again and being disappointed with myself again. Every time, since the ending of my March Whole30, when I have tried to do a Whole30 again I always had some reason for eating something that wasn't approved. There were work trips, birthdays and other reasons to want to bake.

My back is not doing so well...looks like I have a long couple more days house sitting until I can get back to my chiropractor and get it fixed. I really wish I didn't have to deal with this because today I did a lot of laying around trying not to move so much due to my back...Days like this is when I am glad I know I didn't eat crap. Blow is a good acronym for helping you remember what CRAP is and what actual FOOD is.

Eat less CRAP, eat more FOOD.

Eat less CRAP:

C – Carbonated Drinks
R – Refined Sugar
A – Artificial Sweeteners and Artificial Colors
P – Processed Foods

Eat more FOOD:

F - Fruits and Vegetables
O - Organic Lean Proteins
O - Omega 3 Fatty Acids
D - Drink Water

On the menu for today:

Breakfast

Grapes
Banana and Almond Butter
Sausage and veggie Breakfast Bake (aka leftovers)

Lunch

I wanted Pineapple chili for lunch but what I thought was ground turkey burger was actually chicken breasts...so I made a Pineapple-Sweet Potato-Zucchini Chicken Bake. Not as good as Pineapple Chili but the pineapple definitely made this dish better!
