Ok, so I thought I could eek out 2 more helpings of Chicken Ole, but after lunch I've proved myself wrong. Note to self, when making Chicken Ole and leaving out corn and beans, do not use entire packet of taco seasoning. Currently, my lunch bag is inside out airing out all of the Chicken Ole-ness. I have about 3 servings left so either Marcus is going to eat it (not likely) or I will try and pawn it off on my other Paleo friends.
I accompanied my delicious chicken lunch with a side of fresh, crispy, celery....yum, yum <read sarcasm>. Celery is fine if eaten with peanut butter or hummus....but plain, not so good. It was game day at work so I kept my mind off my boring chicken and celery by playing Po-Ke-No. This was a good idea except the prizes for scoring and winning in Po-Ke-No were Hershey miniatures, Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies, Skittles, and mixed nuts. The prizes were in the middle of the table. I'm pretty sure I could smell the cream in the Oatmeal Cream Pie. Not to mention that Nova (one of my skinny work friends) decided to have frozen yogurt for lunch today and she sat right beside me. While trying to ignore Nova's Yogli Mogli, I scored twice and chose 2 packets of mixed nuts as my prize. After that, I quit and went back to my desk to scrutinize my nuts. I thought I remembered that I couldn't have peanuts....this turned out to be true. Apparently they are more of a legume than a nut, but most other nuts are fair game. Luckily my nuts were the right kind; they contained cashews, almonds, and macadamias. All very safe nuts. I was actually pretty full from my chicken and celery so I waited an hour to indulge in my nuts. So far, I'm pretty surprised that I'm staying as full as I am. I have been drinking a lot more water today but I really haven't felt hungry or deprived...yet. I know it's coming. Check back on day 7 or 8. I'm sure it will get rough.
Now, off to Cross-Fit.
