It&#8217;s Day 4 of our cleanse, and really Day 3 of the no-cheese world I am living in (because I had cheese earlier this week by accident) and thoughts of brie are haunting my dreams. \u00a0It&#8217;s a good thing there is no cheese around, or I am sure I would have dove right into it last night.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, I was making dinner for Jeff and I, coming up with a lackluster protein (beans) for our spaghetti squash with pesto (homemade, sans cheese) and Brussels sprouts. I thought chicken, but we&#8217;ve been chicken heavy this week, and Jeff doesn&#8217;t like fish, and I hate the idea of tofu. I was making dinner, hungry from an afternoon of clementines and a handful of cashews, when I realized: I can have peanut butter. So I got myself a teaspoon of it, and let me tell you, peanut butter has never tasted so good.<\/p>\n<p>I really wanted to add cheese to the pesto, cheese to the dinner, eat cheese before and after the meal, but I had to stay strong. So instead, we had popcorn for dessert as a treat (popcorn is\u00a0intrinsically\u00a0pretty good for you!) I was dreaming of cheese as I enjoyed my peanut butter, hoping that I could make it to Tuesday (Tuesday! So many days from now!) when I can eat cheese again.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, the no processed foods hasn&#8217;t been so hard (except you guys, I am so over nuts. I think I need to rethink this strategy and come up with some other snacks than cashews) but the cheese, the cheese! I can&#8217;t wait until I can get at that again.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I am stocking up on veggies and protein (just had leftover lemon chicken, potatoes, green beans, carrots, and broccoli!) and am trying to drink more water. This weekend, I plan on getting some oatmeal ready for next week&#8217;s breakfasts, making my own hummus to snack on at work, and figuring out some more snacks (maybe even good old peanut butter!) to bring to work so I&#8217;m not starving by 5 pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any delicious snack ideas for me, guys?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You guys, I feel like a crazy addict.
