Whole Life Challenge Day 4

So, I am on Day 4 of my challenge. The sugar problem has been easier, but mainly because I planned all of my meals over the weekend and I don't have a bunch of options. All of the meals have been delicious so far, but I have really been wanting some junk food. Things that come to mind: nachos, beer, bacon cheese fries, margaritas, and chips & salsa. I've been trying to find recipes that may be similar to these things so I can trick myself into thinking I'm eating them.

I've been starting my day with a hard boiled egg, which has been a good protein start to my day. Today I added a green smoothie. It was delicious, but I could definitely feel the sugar rush from the fruit (not always a bad thing). For lunch, I've had chicken salad wrapped in butter lettuce. Very good and shockingly filling.

I have had two things that have become my favorite. One is the Mexican Rice Bowl mom made on Monday. I got the recipe from PaleOMG. It is delicious. You make the rice from cauliflower. And we ate it with our new favorite guacamole recipe. My other favorite is a banana with MeeNut Butter. This is such an awesome mid-afternoon snack.

I've ordered a few things that I'm looking forward to getting in the mail:

  • Tessemae's Dressings
    • I ordered the Lemon Garlic, Hot Hot Sauce, Cracked Pepper, and Zesty Ranch.
    • I can't wait to try them.
  • Coconut Wraps
    • I'm very intrigued by how these are going to taste. 
  • Tri-Tip
    • I get to pick this up tomorrow! 
Now that I've finished dreaming of food, I need to read for school. I've been putting it off, but hopefully this coffee will help me stay awake!
