A good little martyr

My feelings about food have gone up and down this week and I’m pretty sure it’s hormonal. I’ve stayed 96% true to the Whole30 diet, except I did lick the spoon after giving my kids the last of my favorite ice cream so it wouldn’t tempt me and last night I ate three m&ms. You aren’t going to tell on me, right?

I’ve worked out when I could and when I wasn’t feeling down too down, but I also allowed myself sometimes just to feel down and not do anything that needed me out of my chicken lounge pants. All my meals have been compliant, all my snacks, and I’ve fed all the good carbs to my kids.

My dinner last night:


My kids’ dinner last night:



Don’t get me wrong, my Italian wedding soup was fantastic (I loosely followed this recipe) and I brought it for lunch today too. However, look at all of that beautiful fake cheese and macaroni.

(I’m also right this very minute sitting 10 feet from a giant bag of bagels that my manager brought in and 40 feet from three bins of various candies at the office assistant’s desk. The fact that I’m not stuffing my face with all of it is a genuine miracle.)

Just pretend people who never wash their hands touched all that good stuff at work. That would work for me. ::shudder:: (Sadly, where I work, that wouldn't even be a fabrication. Animals.)
