After clinging to my understanding of the Whole30 for the entire week-end, and still feeling a bit like crap, I am spending this week focused on creating habits that supersede the latest habit I have of wandering in the kitchen and as I figure out what I'm hungry for, I somehow end up with a spoonful of nut butter in my mouth. Of all the balls I am juggling and of all the things that are important to me (my workouts are one area I'm really struggling with keeping fresh), this is critical.
I'm not quite to the point where I think I need to eradicate all nut butters from the house, like I did with tortilla chips. But it's getting that bad and I need to take a look at why and hopefully that answer will help me forge a real, long term solution.
While ruminating over this all, I realized I probably should actually read the book that inspired the challenge, so I purchased 'It Starts With Food' by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig for my kindle and I'm making it my personal challenge to read at least an hour a day, more on the week-ends. As the weather warms up, I like to sit out on my porch or in my back yard and read while I soak up the sunshine. Today doesn't look like it's going to be one of those days, but here in the Pacific Northwest, weather can change on a dime and I try to never rule out a chance to get out in any weather that does not include rain or wind.
I want to post more recipes, but right now, most of my recipes are from other websites or my own 'throw it together and hope it's edible' concoctions. I have time tonight to work on a spring soup recipe, so I'll post that once I get it nailed down - and even take pictures!
On to Day 9!
