Day 3: Get It!

I've heard people say that if you wake up hungry it's a good sign. Something about it means your body processed or digested everything like it should or something along those lines. Honestly, when I wake up hungry, that's NOT a good sign. Let me just be honest here. Is that cool? Do you mind if I just shoot straight from the hip here? Ok...good.

There are three things that really bring out the best...er worst...in me:

1) Being tired
2) Being hot
3) Being hungry

You put any of those combinations together and, well....it can be a little dicey. What exactly does 'dicey' mean by the way? I've heard it said a lot but really never thought to look it up...anyway, I think it fits the picture I'm trying to paint....but if not, just know it's not a good thing when those forces of evil are joined together.

So today I wake up - it's Day 3 - and I am supposed to start off with my fiber drink, Catalyst, Spark, and a Meal Shake. Well, for some reason when I got up this morning, I decided to NOT do any of those - probably had something to do with the fact I didn't get out of bed when I needed to so I was running a little behind...so I ended up getting Preston to school then got back home to take the first of what seems like 100 calls/day now. By the time 10 am rolled around, I hadn't had anything....so I chugged down my fiber drink and decided to go without the Spark this time (bad idea as I had gotten used to the taste WITH the Spark)...but I chugged it, took my Catalyst and then had my meal shake....

The day then got loose on me and the next thing I knew, it was almost 2:30 and I hadn't had lunch. I DID have a Spark earlier though so I was good to go! Anyway...I grilled (via the stove top) a piece of chicken and had another meal shake for lunch. Ohhhhh yeah. It was good! So good I decided to do it for dinner for everyone.

And that leads me to dinner....

I love to cook. I don't typically go by a recipe or anything...I just wing it. Especially when it comes to meat. That will change soon especially as I look to perfect the Primo and get some good ole brisket and such. But for tonight, I stuck with what I knew....and that was mixing and matching spices.

I started by heating the pan on medium-low with Tuscan Herb flavored olive oil. While that was heating, I took a few chicken breasts and sliced them into half inch thick strips. When the oil was good and hot, I placed the strips into the pan and listened to the sizzle and pop....oh that's such a good sound. Added a little sea salt, pepper, some cajun seasoning, and oregano....got it good and golden brown. Man oh man! Good stuff.

We even had whole grain brown rice and some black beans to go along with it. Granted, I should have had some veggies to really be fully "cleanse friendly" but I didn't. So I'll make up for that tomorrow.

I'm pretty hungry still...guess I'll keep munching on these "Planters Holiday Collection" nuts. About to pop some Catalyst then head to bed. Can't go to bed hungry because that will mean I won't sleep good which will lead to be tired AND hungry when I wake up and that just won't fly.....
