So yesterday got away from me and I remembered that I had forgotten to write as I was lying in bed.  Sleep and rest is my priority so I wasn’t about to get out of bed for a quite recap.  So here’s two days in one.

Today was the first day since I started where I had a craving.  All in all, that’s pretty good considering I’ve been home from work this whole time.  Being busy keeps me distracted from cravings; being home, I’m used to sweets and snacking.  Today’s hankering was for chocolate.  I really wanted a piece of chocolate… I thought about maybe sprinkling some cocoa powder on my strawberries – but resisted.  I went for shredded coconut.  I beat my first craving!  I’m sure there will be others…

I made my first attempt at curry yesterday. Following the recipe, it was a little bland and the potatoes weren’t as cooked as I’d hoped by dinnertime, but it was edible.  I heated some up for lunch and it was better in the second eating.

Day 5 also found me back at the supermarket.  Three trips in five days!  Definitely need to plan better moving forward. A teacher’s salary only goes so far, you know.

Since I found myself again making hash for breakfast today (it’s too damn delicious!) I decided to make a soup tonight to have for my breakfast over the next few days.  I need to figure out breakfasts that I can take to work to heat ‘n eat there.  I’m hesitant to cook at home in the morning to eat before I go because the nausea always seems to kick in by 6:15a.  Feeding the nausea doesn’t seem like a pleasant way to start each day but eating at 7:05am should work.  This sausage and potato soup was quite tasty!  Soup seems a decent option for my take-to-work first meal.
