Slacker

I was going to run today, but it wasn't really at the front of my mind today. It was so nice out today too! I really wanted to go find a nice trail to run. This weekend was full of distractions. Yesterday I got up and immediately started deep cleaning my house. I decided it was time to go through all of the things in the closets and cupboards. The things you sort of ignore because they had a place to be. It was well worth it though. Our spare bedroom is looking much better. We even found the key for the door of the Subaru so we can actually lock the doors again! I'm excited to go run tomorrow, but with my luck it's going to be overcast and rainy since it was so nice and sunny today. I suppose that's my punishment for not making it a priority.

I'm excited for tonight's dinner. I made an Italian salad with garbanzos, red peppers and artichoke hearts tossed in balsamic and olive oil. For the main course I'm currently cooking chicken marsala over pasta with the roasted brussels sprouts I made earlier this week (not the same ones, just the same recipe haha!) and dessert is chocolate pudding with cinnamon, red pepper flakes, and orange zest. I'm super excited and it's a pretty healthy meal for the most part. Got to milk the protein while I can! Tomorrow is back to veggie again.

Day 10

I got some much needed me time today. My mom came with me to look at countertops for the kitchen remodel that feels like is never going to happen and then took the kids so I could go to my chiropractor appointment without them. I love my mom.

I have been really stressed about our moving timeline, the start of school, and the money tied to all of it. I feel a bit paralyzed right now, there's not much I can really do until there's a bunch to do at once. It makes it kind of difficult to really enjoy my last few days of summer. So does not eating ice cream. Or anything that gives me joy.

I took advantage of the little bit of "me time" and went to Costco to replace the mass amounts of fruit my kids eat. (yes, I spend my "me time" grocery shopping) I'm already starting to dread having to feed them when they're teenagers. It was a bit more brutal than I had anticipated. Who the hell decided to put the pastries right next to the produce?! Really?! I could h…

Day 3

Today reached 106ºF outside. We don't have air conditioning. It sucked.

We stayed in to avoid the heat and left the house in the afternoon for my chiropractor appointment. I made sure to pack whole30 friendly snacks for me and the kids and took a very large cup of ice water.

I got my results from my x-rays last week and the scoliosis that was under control a year ago is back with a vengeance. (Yay for a year of having no time whatsoever to schedule an adjustment!) The good news is that it's treatable. The bad news is that treatment is expensive and I don't know if I can afford it. Yay stress.

After a very very long appointment at the chiropractor, I decided we should beat the heat at Ikea. We're in kind of a limbo period where I can't really do much to prepare for moving yet, but the Ikea kitchen planning tool online has kept me feeling like I can do something while we wait and I had some questions about cabinets anyway. It's therapeutic. But, yet another sourc…

Why Whole30?

I'll consider Monday my trial-run (although this proved a bit devastating for Charlotte). I didn't realize that pasture butter was only okay if clarified (milk solids are a no-no) and that pretty much all bacon has added sugar.

I procured the book from the library and dug in. Let me just say, this book feels like it was written by real people. There's a whole chapter dedicated to walking you through how you'll probably feel from day to day and I really like that. It reminds me of pregnancy books that tell you how your body may change each month and how your baby is growing. It's helpful to have an idea of how you may react to the changes and why.

"Day 4 to 5: Kill all the things  ...You walk into the kitchen and, upon being greeted by the smiling face of your significant other, you are suddenly overcome with the desire to punch them in the face for being so darn cheerful this early in the morning." They know me.

Having done every diet under the sun and sw…
