One benefit I noticed that is going to sound odd is that I no longer have the stress of thinking about what I am going to snack on. This makes no sense, but yet is true! I didn't realize it, but I used to fret about making sure I brought enough for breakfast, lunch, and snacks to work. Now I only bring lunch and don't have to bother with food the rest of the time (because I don't need to feed the addiction).
Today I was rushed for time. I barely had time to wolf down my breakfast casserole and was pretty hungry by lunchtime. But, because of circumstances I hadn't anticipated, we went out to lunch to Chipotle. I just got lettuce, carnitas, and guac (thank you Rose). It was ok. I mean, I wasn't not hungry. But, that was very disappointing. Not doing that again if I can help it!
Dinner: Grilled salmon (with lemon and dill) over sauteed asaparagus & onions, with a side salad.
Dinner was again just ok and did the job. But, I didn't love anything today related to food. Oh well! Maybe next time...

I agree about not having to bring tons of food to work! I used to frantically count snacks and find myself throwing random things into my bag on the way out the door.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that Chipotle the way we can have it was just ok, which surprised me, because I love carnitas and guacamole. Maybe when I'm reintroducing grains on Saturday I'll go there and have some rice!
