Day 3...27 to go

Before I start talking about day 3, I have to finish telling you about day 2.  I made it the rest of the afternoon without being hungry which is amazing.  I went to Crossfit and noticed that I had a little less energy.  My legs were a little heavy and I didn't quite have the umph I usually have.  We did a leg focused workout and they felt like jelly after.  I still had to do my 30 minute training run.  It was 7:15 and I was getting hungry but decided I needed to get my run in.  The run was slow to say the least.  At the end I swear I could feel my empty stomach sloshing into my other organs.  I went home as soon as possible to start cooking.  Probably one of the worst things I do is eat late.  I really don't feel like I have a choice in the matter.  I finish work and go straight to workout.  If I go home and make dinner before I workout, there will be NO chance of me going back out.  I know me.  So, I figure that eating at 9:00 is what I have to do.  Luckily Marcus has the same schedule and unfortunately, we've gotten used to it. 

I think Marcus would eat at 11:00 during this whole thing because he is just ecstatic that I'm actually cooking.  Usually my extent of cooking is microwaving frozen vegetables or pouring a bowl of cereal.  This whole turning on the oven or grill to prepare meat and a side is a whole new animal for me.  I typically avoid it at all cost.

Last night was nice because we actually tag-teamed the meal.  I bought flank steak (which for some reason I LOVE) and we made a quick rub out of chili powder, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper.  Marcus grilled (because I really don't know how) and I baked the sweet potato fries that I had cut up the day before.  The steak turned out delicioso....the fries needed a little more time in the oven but time was not on our side.  They were a little crunchy and fresh if you know what I mean.  Funny how when you're hungry, you just don't care.  I haven't eaten worse, so they weren't that bad.  I think maybe Chester and Tanner spit them out.  So dinner was finished by 10:00 followed by bedtime.  I actually think I sleep well on a full stomach :)

This morning I had my 3 eggs in the funny shaped TupperWare container with sundried tomatoes.  I woke up late (this is a recurring theme in my life), so I had to eat the eggs in my car on the way to work.  This may seem dangerous with using a fork and all while driving, but I'm pretty good a multi-task driving since I usually put on my eyeliner and mascara while driving with my knee.  The eggs were ok; the sundried tomatoes made them tastier.  I'm going to need to get creative if it's what I'm going to have for 27 more days though.  A safe lunch is planned with Kara at Whole Foods.  She knows my restrictions and will be sure to hold me to them.  It's hard to eat bad at Whole Foods with all the healthy people staring you down so I should be ok.
