I got to the point today where sanity was being lost. I almost lost my sanity. We've had one of those days. One of those days where he won't take no for an answer. One of those days where there is a tantrum thrown about every hour. One of those days where all he wants to do is be held.
I know there are people out there that would give anything to hold a child all day long. I know I should be grateful for my children. I know this... but I've had a long day.
Thank you for listening to me vent. I feel better.
Breakfast:
One good thing about being pushed to my max today is that it challenged my emotional food status. I had a rough day with LB and my stomach is funky. I still stayed true to the whole30.
For breakfast I tried the paleo pumpkin porridge from Paleo Jess.
I really don't like oatmeal. Like I just won't even eat it. Not even a bite. I literally licked my bowl clean this morning. It was so good! I did exactly what she said to do and topped it with a scoop of sunflower seed butter and coconut.
Lunch:
I noticed last night after dinner that my stomach didn't feel quite right. We have friends that are just getting over a stomach bug so I'm praying that isn't it. When lunch time came around I wasn't that hungry and nothing sounded good. I roasted a whole sweet potato and topped it with coconut butter. I ended up not finishing all of it and put half in the fridge for later. Blah.
Dinner:
Did you see what I got in the mail the other day on instagram? I've been waiting for this thing!
I'm in love with Juli Bauer. She's hilarious and makes awesome recipes. I had pork chops defrosted so for dinner tonight I made the pork chops with blackberry sauce.
These were great! I made a simple cauliflower rice and those leftover sweet potatoes.
Exercise:
I did go to the gym today. I did some back stuff and 20 minutes of cardio.
How I feel:
Whole30 wise I feel great. I noticed my skin is clearing up and brightening. I had three people tell me yesterday that I looked great. I'm not sure what's going on with my stomach. I can't afford to have a stomach bug... Not with a cranky toddler!
