Day 9

Day 9 is good. Felt great this morning and woke up with lots of energy. I think I had enough to thoroughly annoy Matt with. It could have been because while he was trying to eek out a couple more minutes in the warm, comfortable bed, I thought it would be more fun to show my appreciation for the Christmas gift he gave me:  an alarm clock i-pod dock. I'm not sure he enjoyed LMFAO blaring out, but I did. 

We are in Sunriver! Woowoo! LOVE it here. We decided on Saturday to go this week. I must say, it's amazing how much food is tied into vacation. I was a little sad thinking about not having a glass of wine to enjoy this evening. I was even a bit distraught when the house filled up with the smell of seriously delicious pizza. I really, really like Blondie's Pizza. In a little bit, I'll be popping chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Matt was doing a whole30 with me, but with the lure of vacation and my blessing, he went with a whole8. His calzone looked amazing. I had a salad with salmon and dried cranberries and sliced almonds. It's really good, too. But..I could imagine my teeth sinking into the cheese and sauce and the perfect crust. Ooooh yyeeeeeaaaaa.  I am staying strong. I would probably just get super pissed off at myself after that one bite and figure I had to start all over again. This whole30 thing is a practice in awareness for sure. I find that certain activities make me want to reach for certain foods, none of which are healthy choices. Ahhh, who needs wine and chocolate when you can have homemade guacamole with...carrot sticks. I sound sarcastic, but it really is tasty. Before leaving today, Matt and I menu planned for the trip and brought most of our food. Tonight was our 'take-out' night.
