Day 3: Emotional Day

Today my little guy had a tough time at Preschool. His teacher gave me some news that broke my heart. It made me reflect about how I am doing as a mother. It was hard to look back and see all the changes I can make, to make things better. You just want the best for the ones you love. You want them to have a better life then you did. I took him out for ice cream to talk about what happened at school. Didn't get much more information, but I wanted to show him that I love him and I am here for him. I am probably emotionally over reacting, but It made me see that I need to change some things at home, especially with Daddy spending 95% of his time at school. With having such an emotional today, easy and fast food always hits the spot, but I didn't give in and ready for day 4.

Breakfast: fruit
Lunch: left over rotisserie chicken and salad
Dinner: left over hamburger lettuce sandwich with broccoli

Day 2: I survived Super Bowl Sunday

Today was tough! Not because it was Super Bowl Sunday, and there was soda, chips, potato salad, fruit dip, cake. Did I mention cake? A chocolate cake, in a football shape, looking so moist and divine, with creamy icing that you can smell a room away.  Was I tempted, of course! But was very satisfied eating my delicious hamburger, hold the bun, topped with tomato, grilled onions and a pineapple, all wrapped in lettuce. Yum! And it only gets better. Had some homemade sweet potato chips and guacamole. Although, there was food sitting on my kitchen table, not part of my challenge, today was tough because I sliced part of my finger off! It was unpleasant, scary, lots of blood, and went to the emergency room because we couldn't get the bleeding to stop. I also had to get a tetanus shot, but after all the chaos, I made it back home in time for our guests.  Sorry, no pictures again.  It was a little chaotic with a trip to the ER and the Broncos breaking my husband's heart. Glad to say, Football is over, but baseball season will soon be creeping up.

Breakfast: Fruit

Lunch: Veggie Omelet 

Dinner: Hamburger, sweet potato fries and guacamole

P.s. Still need to working on drinking more water. 

Day 1 Busy Busy Busy

Took our little man this morning to Home Depot kid’s workshop at 9:00am. So breakfast was quick. We grabbed some fruit, the little guy had some cereal, and we headed out the door to make our very own wooden race car. No pictures of food today, but I did capture my boys hammering away. We stayed around the area and did some shopping. Tee Ball season is around the corner, and Dick's Sporting Goods and Academy Sports were having some great sales. After all our shopping, we were pretty tired and a quick meal was looking tempting. So, we went home and made some veggie omelets with peppers, onions, and mushrooms for lunch. I like to top mine off with tomatoes, avocados and a couple of dashes of hot sauce. Yum! I pretty much have a veggie omelet every day and I love it. Well, tomorrow is a big day, Super Bowl Sunday! And football is a big thing for my husband. We recently moved from SLC, UT to Macon, GA to attend Law School, and back in Utah we always got together with one of our best friends and enjoyed those cute little smokies, chips, soda, etc. The WORKS. This year, we invited some people over for the game, and I was kind of panicking a little, but I think we figured out a great meal for us. If we can eat Whole 30 on Super Bowl Sunday, then we can mostly definitely do this challenge again. Also, you’re not supposed to weigh yourself while doing the challenge, which was a rule we broke our first time around, and so this time I am not. This time, it’s not about a number, but how I feel and building up my self-confidence. Okay, so here is what we ate.

Breakfast: Fruit
Lunch: Veggie Omelet
Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken and Salad

P.s. Not to self, I need to drink more water!
