Day 19

Today was definitely one of the hardest days for me. I had super low energy, and could not snap out of it! I got really frustrated and depressed about not being able to eat normal food. Jordan convinced me to juice a bunch of fresh fruit, which I did: kale, carrots, a peach, a grapefruit, a cucumber and an orange... and it tasted really good! Plus it pumped me up a little bit, which was good. Then I had my friends over for The Bachelorette, and I made some yummy snacks for them that I couldn't eat (flat bread with 3 cheeses, mini pizzas, etc.) but I did splurge and eat some edamame, and veggies with hummus and salsa.

Earlier in the day I worked out, which was hard with no energy. I had my one meal around 1 pm: a big salad, with a potato/walnut oil on the side. The other thing I'm thinking is that I need to get more protein, so I bought some tofu at Trader Joe's for tomorrow's lunch.

So probably because I am deprived of anything sweet and yummy, I've taken to being completely obsessed with food blogs (even more than I already was). I'm seriously like an addict, living vicariously through the baker of these wonderful treats. I've been craving a combination of cinnamon, sugar, and butter...

Like these beauties ...



Or maybe a big ol' helping of this...



Or maybe these...



Or I bet this would make my house smell delicious...



But sadly, this is what my dinner looks like instead: (insert crying sound here)



OKAY OKAY this is NOT helping!!! Ha ha. But it's still fun to fantasize with food porn. (The deliciousness on this page comes from my favorite blog, The Pioneer Woman.)
