Whole 30: Cravings
This Whole30 was a lot easier than the first time I went paleo. I’ll hit three weeks on Sunday, and I’ve only had a few craving moments, but not strong enough that I couldn’t mentally fight it.
Today was one of them. I am dangerously low on Whole30 food in my house, and I went to work empty handed. Big oops. Because I wore my boots with heels and because I felt cold inside and didn’t want to go outside, I just picked a handful of almonds for early afternoon snack. And then someone warmed up their lunch. Mexican, a burrito I think. It made me want enchiladas. Very Badly. And Kansas City, well, it isn’t hurting for places to get good Mexican food. I mean, it was getting *grumpy* because I wanted enchiladas. Right now.
I didn’t get them, but I didn’t stop being slightly grumpy. And I came home hungry. Real tummy growling hunger. Thankfully, Mac made an entire dinner that I could eat–as long as I passed on the cottage cheese, which I did. A hamburger patty and a big plate of fresh veges later, and my enchilada craving is gone. Slightly.
I am going to the store tonight, and on my list is stuff to make slow cooker carnitas. I’m doing that tonight. I’m going to check out Frontera to see if there is a premade sauce that is appropriate because unfortunately the ones I have at home would work if it wasn’t for the added starch. If not, I’ll go ahead and make some hogao. Tomorrow there will be eggs. With some carnitas on top.
Plus, I’m grabbing lots more appropriate food to take to work with me. I can’t run out of that again.
I must be needing more protein because that’s all that sounds good for my grocery list: carnitas, roasted chicken, kefta, smoked salmon.
And later that night…
Groceries have been purchased and put away, dishes are all clean, carnitas are in the slow cooker for overnight cooking. Next a shower and then bed. Probably yet another night I’m not asleep until midnight or later*
