Day Five

Hello to whoever reads this,

Day five, wow, I can't believe it's already been about a week. Today actually went pretty well.

I was at work most of the day. In the morning, I didn't have much time to pack lunch so I grabbed a can of beats and some bread. Around noon, I went on lunch. I pulled out my beats, opened the can up and poured the liquid out, then sat down and started eating. Some coworkers were in the room with me and the looks they gave me were quite comical. One finally asked what I was eating. I told him "beats and bread" and he laughed at me. He wondered how that tasted, but honestly it tasted pretty good. I love beats; they're one of my favorite veggies.

My family went to the movies this evening. That was a little frustrating becasue I couldn't eat the buttered popcorn or the salted pretzel which I usually get. I sat next to my sister who made me hold the popcorn at first, which was far too tempting considering it was movie theater popcorn, and, after taking it from me, sat next to me and told me that, if I wanted some, all I have to do is reach over and grab it. I thought meat would be the hardest thing to resist, but I'm pretty sure the hardest thing to get by without is butter. I've got to get that vegan butter when I go shopping.

Dinner was easy. We went to Chipotle. I built a bowl and, while my usual pork bowl tastes better, it was pretty good. No one in my family made any comments except for my mum who informed me that it was good that I got brown rice because that's much better for me.

I meant to go shopping today but ran out of time. Guess I'll do that tomorrow.

With Hope,

Caroline

Comment by Tiffany Mikkelson on March 2, 2013 at 5:53pm: You should be able to get it at any grocery store. Just look at the ingredients. I am normally able to get something on sale that's 100% whole wheat every time I go and it doesn't have milk, eggs, honey or anything else that is not wanted. :-)

I love your comment about the meal you had at work. I get that all the time I call it the "Why are you eating that" face. :-) Ha ha.
