I am really bored with this diet.  Bored and annoyed.  It seems to require so much (too much) prep to eat anything and since I’m a person who likes to eat what I crave in that moment, it’s hard to plan ahead. For breakfast I had cashew bread with coconut manna.  Not because I wanted it, but because I couldn’t think of anything else to prepare quickly that sounded good.

I always want chocolate, but it’s probably (definitely) not the best for me. Gahhhh…I fell prey to my sweet tooth last night though and while I could rattle off a half dozen excuses, I’m just going to own it and focus on a more productive activity.
