Whole30 - Day 14 (AKA Half-way finished)

Am I a pessimist ir an optimist? Are we half-way through or do we have half-way to go? Hmm... Today, I'll choose optimism because I'm feeling pretty good and we're doing great. We both slept well last night after a long conversation about how much we are both dying for a smorgasbord of non-Whole30 foods. It was very cathartic.

Day 14

How the book say I'll feel: Still supposed to be dreaming of wonderful sweet and fried things.

How I actually feel: Hopeful. I made it through 2 weeks of this bullsh*t. Go me! I haven't let my cravings get the better of me (neither has Husband) and I really think I can finish. We've been talking about life after Whole30; what we will incorporate and what we will say good riddance to. I may never eat eggs again.

Breakfast was a potato, bacon, asparagus and egg scramble thingy made by the man in my life who, incidentally, is becoming quite the chef. We all gobbled it down and had there been seconds, we would've gobbled those too.

Since we had a heavy breakfast, I opted to make us a simple salad for lunch. It had Whole30 junk on it...basically all the leftovers in our fridge. lol I ate it but my heart wasn't in it. I knew I'd want something yummy for dinner so...

Finger lickin' good.

...I made "fried" chicken. Calm down, it was with almond flour, ghee and an array of spices. We paired it with the rest of our mashed cauliflower and strawberries and papaya. Damn. That's all I have to say. It was filling and soooooo yummy. But it better have been for how much I had to pay for almond flour. ($15!!!!)

I knew I needed to eat up because I was heading to work late again tonight. And as soon as I got there, this is what I saw.

The opposite of Whole30.

I'll admit, I may have stared at it a bit too long. My willpower was definitely tested and I even got some flack from coworkers, "You still on your diet?" "Cheeeeesssseee.....crackers." That's ok. Say what you want. That was fuel for my fire and I only have two weeks to go.

Husband says: I think we should've rented a chicken for this program. (eggs) Glad we're at the half-way point. I would really like 30 days to be shorter. We should've done this in February.

A Hectic Spring

If I sit and really think about all the things that are happening over the next few months, I will surely lose my mind. My leisurely Atlanta life is being uprooted and I'm heading to the frosty north. As scary as that sounds, I'm not terribly nervous.... yet . Anxious is a better word. "Things" have been in the works for months now, and though we're still ironing out the details, one thing is certain - change....otherwise known as the story of my life. I'm no stranger to "starting over." This will be the 4th time that I will change cities without having been there. Of course, the first one was when I was 6, but still.... I went to Las Vegas at 18, Austin at 23 and am now in Atlanta about to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of my 30th birthday. The last move was the toughest. Austin was and will always be my home. So much so, that ultimately Matt and I agree that's where we want to end up....again. Yeah, it was hard to put that aside long enough to g...

5 Things I've learned so far...

1. Our baby has fingerprints already. I'm not sure why but this freaks me out. 2. Pregnancy heartburn is NO JOKE. Before this, I think I'd had heartburn twice in my life. I'm Mexican for Christ's sake! We love our spicy food. I guess I have to go easy for the next few months. Boo. 3. I can't watch "A Baby Story" without being reduced to a sobbing mess. But I find myself turning the channel for the delivery part. 4. The placenta & baby (aka alien) are about the size of an avocado right now. 5. Our baby will have duel citizenship. Cool, huh?

I'm back!

A while ago, my laptop died. There was no warning, no clue that something was wrong. As suddenly as it had come into my life, it drifted away and with it, my blog, my therapy...and a little bit of my sanity. There it sat in a drawer mocking me. With every intention to get it fixed a funny thing happened - life. You know, that thing that occurs while you're busy making plans? And just like that it was forgotten ... until a few weeks ago. A friend said, "Let me take a look." And here we are. The best Christmas presents are those that are already paid for, aren't they?! So now I find myself a few years later, a little older, hopefully a little wiser, most definitely a little more tired thinking of trying this blogging thing again. It seems so appropriate that it should start at the beginning of the year. I know, I know... all aboard the bandwagon . I'm not into resolutions, really. But if I'm looking at this as a new beginning, I guess I can set some goals, rig...
