Wow, I'm tired. I almost didn't post tonight because I'm just ready to go to bed so I apologize in advance if this is not so good. I just got back from hanging out with 408 of my closest middle school and high school friends at 12Stone Church's The Point Student Ministry. I'm exhausted and hungry. I dodged food for 4.5 hours tonight. It was a block party so we had all the good stuff for the kids. There was pizza, cotton candy, every kind of soda you can think of, and popsicles. I was in charge of peddling popsicles. I walked around to the kids handing them out. The humidity was 129% and I was glistening to say the least. I wanted to take a -3 in the points race and have one of those popsicles. I stayed strong though. I figured that I couldn't justify loosing 3 points or breaking my streak on a popsicle. If I'm going to mess up, it's going to be for something that won't melt into Kool Aid.
Luckily, they fed the volunteers. They catered Moonies Texas Barbeque. I have never eaten there but it's becoming quite the famous dining spot in Flowery Branch. They had beef brisket and it didn't have sauce on it yet. I felt like a total carnivore because I loaded up my entire plate with the meat. Some of the guys looked at me like I was crazy. I knew if I was going to avoid all the crap food being offered I needed to be full of brisket. It was delicious even without the sauce. I'm thinking of getting more of my paleo meat there. If you haven't been, check it out.
Once inside the sanctuary there was more temptation. They actually threw candy into the crowd. I had candy landing at my feet. One little girl said, "Ms. Alexis, you can have this!" Sadly, I had to tell her no thanks. Instead, I quickly dug into my purse for my emergency stick of sugar-free gum. I went through a couple of pieces while in the sermon. Seriously, thank God for sugar-free gum.
Earlier today, I did ok for the most part. I had my leftover almond chicken and sweet potato for lunch. I think it's mental, but I really have a hard time eating leftover chicken. This may sound ridiculous but I don't like it because it tastes like chicken. I can't really explain it, I just don't like it. Before shoving it all in my mouth and chugging it with water, I found some paleo approved dressing I bought for my salads and dipped my chicken in that to hide the chicken taste. It sort of worked. I think I become a little more high maintenance and particular each day of this diet. There seems to be a food that I just can't stand to have anymore. Today, that food was chicken.
I have no idea what I'm going to eat tomorrow. I guess I'll have to go out to lunch [sigh]. Hopefully Stacy and Nova will forget their lunch.
So, sorry for the short, uneventful post. I'm going to get some rest....
