Seven, again, Week 1

I'm doing Seven again with a bible study group. This is week one, food. Brian and I, together, decided to eat seven foods this week:

Chicken
Sweet Potatoes
Eggs
Broccoli
Zucchini
Apples
Brown Rice

And then I amended that to include leftovers, or something in the fridge that might go bad, like oj or milk. Here's how the first morning, went:

"I really wish I could eat this omelette on toast like I've been doing. I forgot that I don't like eggs by themselves."
"I wish I could just have my regular toast and not mess with eggs."
"I hate Seven. It's dumb."

Then I got an email from Brian, at lunchtime: "Had leftover BBQ chicken and fried chicken for lunch. I'm okay with Seven."

Me at lunchtime: "Blech, that lunch is so boring, I'm just going to eat apples and crackers* at my desk." And on and on for four days.
*yes, I randomly added crackers.

Me at dinner: "I don't want to eat chicken again for a month."
Brian: "But this dinner is actually really good!" (Roast chicken, sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli."
Me: "Blech."

So this week was really rough and I hated the restrictions. I couldn't cook with anything but olive oil, salt and pepper and I got really sick of black pepper as a "Seasoning." I missed onions, garlic, herbs, bread, DAIRY.  I'm so glad it's over. However, I'm also really aware just how entitled I am when it comes to food. I feel like I've been trying to be better about being humble, but this broke that in half. There is no humility when it comes to my cooking. There is pride and vanity and I'm not sure where that leaves me, but damn if we aren't eating spicy pork meatballs tomorrow night.
