Nut Butter vs Nutty Butter

VS

Seriously. Almonds. E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E!!
Why can't Lil Debbie make a paleo nutty butter bar?!

Any time I take a bite of something, it tastes like an almond.

Luckily, I like almonds, just not that much.

Is a crab-apple paleo? Because that's certainly what I'm turning into.

My mood swings are starting to ease, at least I have a sense of humor about it. However, these mood swings are different, or so I think, lets ask everyone else around me if it's true or not... but I feel like these moods and temper tantrums are of a 5 year old, not a 23 year old stressed out adult female student.

Like I said in my previous post all I seem to do is eat. Spent the entire day 4 eating. And like I said it all tasted like damn almonds.

I think this may get a little easier as the challenge continues because right now we're in the experimental stage or trying new Paleo recipes so we haven't figured out which ones are keepers and which aren't, and I know there's plenty of other recipes out there I just haven't found yet, but I will.

It'll get easier once I gain more knowledge about it.

I think my biggest struggle I've come up against, other than waking from my nap Saturday to dreams of Twizzlers, is I no longer have my crackers to help my writer's block. The salty texture, the crunch, the crumbs, the shape, the airy lightness of it, every little aspect of a cracker really helps my writer's block. And since I'm trying to write the conclusion to my conference paper, I feel if I can't get it done by Wednesday, I'll have to have either 1. have a cheat hour to get my brain thinking properly again, or 2. for the love of all that is Paleo make some almond cracker-like chips.

I'm still trying to figure out this whole not being hungry all the time thing and I think instead of eating big meals 3-4 times a day with a snack or two. I'm going to have to eat something every hour. So instead of having a 3 course dinner, have a three hour dinner. :/ I hate that idea because I feel like I'm over eating and breaking the laws of domesticity or something because it's what my parents taught me to do. You have dinner at one time, at the table, with the whole family and World News with Charles Gisbson on low in the background. (I know Diane replaced Charles, so now it's a mix between her and WFAA. Pete Delkus. I Love You.) But I suppose I can learn to break that habit for this challenge and do what is necessary to keep me full and.. wait for it, play on Frosted Mini Wheats... focused. :)

Sorry, this post is a bit boring. But that's how my day went.
