Day? 

Weekend plans?

Day 18.

Tomorrow - football. Which means tailgating. Which means I need to figure out how to pack a day's worth of W30 compliant food and bring it with me. I'm supposed to bring a side, and so far the host of the tailgate hasn't filled me on what the main dish is. I'm frustrated.

Sunday we're running a 5K and I'm getting a much needed haircut.

DH and I are going to the HS football game tonight to see our local HS play the HS I work at. I've got kiddos on the team and in the band that we are going to support.

Tomorrow I'm meeting a 2 friends. One for a walk and one for shopping and froyo (not compliant, I know, but oh well).

Sunday we will likely watch football with my family and catch up with my ILs.

Day 6. So far this honestly hasn't been that hard in terms of cravings, I'm just kind of over it. Like I don't feel like I omg NEED anything off-plan, I just would like to eat some of those things because they are yummy. I do miss snacking but again, it's not a craving, just something I enjoy that I'm not currently doing. I also realized that most people who do a Whole30 probably have dishwashers - I'm only sort of over the cooking but very much over the pots and pans I have to keep washing! Also, Thai Kitchen coconut milk is $9/can here but damn if it isn't delicious. There are today's thoughts.

As far as the weekend goes, I am getting together with friends tomorrow night and have already advised that I shouldn't be counted in the pizza and beer purchasing. I'm also going to cheer on some friends at a Crossfit comp tomorrow, which should be fun.

WHAT THE WHAT?!

My anniversary is tomorrow. I've been looking forward to this dinner for a while. It's a Mediterranean tapas place and the chef is supposed to be amazing. I decided last week that I was going to eat on plan all week (which I have) and just eat and drink whatever I want for this meal...including dessert.

I went back to cross fit this week and I'm SOOOOO SORE. Good lord am I sore. I could barely lift my arms to put on my bra and deodorant yesterday. Lol.

Yes. It was insane. I bought it because all the other coconut milks had ingredients I wasn't sure about, and my cell phone internet wasn't working, and my sanity to be able to buy the damn coconut milk and go home and cook was worth $9 at that moment. Today I went back, having checked ingredient lists, and bought two different brands that are the normal price of around $2.50 each to try them both.

[wambam]

OMG. That's ridiculous. I think it's about $2.50-3 here. I don't use coconut milk all that often though, just certain recipes.

[emilyinchile]

Yeah, I specifically wanted to make a curry and couldn't wrap my head around changing my meal plan at that moment, it's not something I use a ton. Plus the bit that I ate over strawberries felt indulgent enough to be worth about $7
