Day 4

Didnt get enough sleep last night. Needed about another 2 hours. But that's what I get for sleeping till noon or later for 3 days in a row. Ran through my normal routine...had to sacrifice washing my hair today in order to have time to juice my breakfast. Luckily, my hair didnt look like it needed to be washed, even though it really does. I'll have to wash it tonight.

Made up some delicious juice and packed some snacks to get through the day. Rob and I never made it back to the kitchen after X-Files last night to figure out our lunch plan.

Out the door about 15 minutes later than I'd prefer, but not too shabby considering all that was "new" today.

My daily dose of encouragement from Reboot is about "The Dirty Dozen". This is somewhat sad, since I already know about the damn dirty dozen and would love for it to be an email about how this is so fucking hard sometimes and I'm a champ and a half for sticking to it. Maybe tomorrow. For those of you not in the know...here is the scoop on the dozen:

Here are some guidelines to help you choose which organic foods you should be buying, when possible. The USDA, Consumer Reports and The Environmental Working Group have compiled a list they call, “The Dirty Dozen,” which shows the 12 fruits and vegetables with the highest amount of pesticides, or the ones you should try to get as organic.

Produce with the highest levels of pesticide:

• Peach

• Apples

• Bell Pepper (Green and Red)

• Celery 

• Nectarine

• Strawberries

• Cherries

• Kale 

• Lettuce

• Grapes (Imported)

• Carrot

• Pear 

• Potato

Produce with the lowest levels of pesticide:

• Onion

• Avocado

• Sweet Corn

• Pineapple

• Mango

• Asparagus

• Sweet Peas

• Kiwi

• Cabbage

• Eggplant

• Papaya

• Watermelon

• Broccoli

Well 1pm rolled around and as Rob and I carpooled I had no car at work today. I texted him and asked "lunch?" and he said "cant. meetings." I wanted to cry a little. I had been thinking about how amazing a salad was going to be from Whole Foods. But then I remembered all my snacky snacks, and was over it and fine. I had a bunch of shit to do anyway, and not really any time to leave for lunch. Power on!!

Around 6:30pm we both finally left work and headed home. Rob's doing a little worse today than I am. I've actually felt pretty great most of the day! YAHOO!!! He's noticeably cranky, and is telling me he's cranky. I can take a hint, so when we get home, I get to work feeding this man. I started on some delicious Tortilla Soup and he started cooking up some SWEET POTATO FRIES! HELL YES!

As suspected, dinner was fucking amazing. Pardon my french, but it just was. The soup was perfect (although some chicken, tortilla chips and black beans wouldve been alright too). And the fries are AMAZING!!!!!

And now....back to the X-Files!
