Whole 30 - Day 4

Day 4 - Thursday 

Today was a good day.  The first GOOD day I've had in 2-3 months.  I felt good emotionally and physically.  My energy level was up.  I almost exercised.  I ran sprints racing with Benji, went on a mile walk with Charlie, and even scrubbed the kitchen cabinets cleaned.  That was something that had been bugging me for a long time, but I never had the energy to do it.

We just moved into a nearly 100 year old house.  The lady who lived here last apparently was a hoarder and didn't take good care of the house.  So everything is just dusty and grimy, but there's only so much I can do with the kids around.  And then with my funky mood, I've just had no energy to clean.

Look who's starting to eat food!
She's not too sure about it though...

Anyway, here's my food log today...
Upon waking = 24 oz water.  This makes a big difference, and I have been neglecting to do this lately.
10:00 ish = Shakeology (not Whole 30 compliant)
1:00 = lunch = chicken, broccoli, and parmsan cheese (not Whole 30 compliant)
2:30 = a few of Benji's ants on a log

That's it so far.  It's 9:30, I just laid the baby down, so now I'm going to go get some dinner.  Probably mashed sweet potato and taco meat.

Benji snuck in her crib during naps because
he "wanted to make her feel good and not be alone."

Oh, I did have a victory today!  NO added sugar!  No chocolate (besides my Shakeology).  That's huge!  Eva went to spend the night with my mom tonight, and usually when that happens I go into "Treat Yo' Self" mode since I will have more free time after the little ones go to bed.  So instead of talking with Eva from 8:30-9:30, I treat myself with Gilmore Girls and chocolate.  But not tonight!  I was thiiiiiiiis close to asking Robby to go get me some chocolate chips, but I chose not to.  And also -- no Gilmore Girls tonight because the Bachelor is back on.  I actually like Nick.  The first 2 seasons he was on, I didn't like him at all, but after watching Bachelor in Paradise, he seems okay.

NOW... I'm off to take a shower and eat dinner!  Then early bed time!  It's sad that I'm so excited about these things...
