Whole30 Day 20

Oh man did I have a day that tested my emotional status with food.  I had my day all planned out perfectly because I knew it was going to be a busy one and everything ended up all messed up.

I had to take both kids and a hurt dog to the vet first thing this morning at 7:45. I'm not sure what happened but one of my dogs had a big puncture wound on her face (I'm guessing it was from one of my other dogs).


While the vet was putting staples in her face...

My four year old was puking in a trash can in the room. My two year old was running wild through the vets office and next door to us they were euthanizing a dog. It was crazy.  I debated putting those pictures up but if you are at all in to animals or science you'll probably like them.  Plus I've already put pictures of my kitties amputated leg.

We had two birthday parties to go today (ahhh that's so mom like!) and we attempted one. Squirrel ended up spending the rest of the day on the couch with a stomach bug. I am praying praying praying that LB and I don't get it.

One great thing about my day is never once did I want crappy food.  That is HUGE y'all.  I'm a stress eater.  Not really an emotional eater.  If I get sad I actually lose my appetite.  But if I'm stressed I'll shove anything and everything in my face.

Here's what I did eat today:

Breakfast:

I took leftovers and added two eggs!  YUM!

Lunch:

I was strapped for time and mental capacity so I just ate more leftovers.  Straight out of the jar!

Dinner:

Oh wait how about some more leftovers!  Ha!  This time I added a grass fed beef hotdog and greens tossed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  This was awesome.

Exercise:
I planned on going to the gym today but that didn't happen.

How I feel:
Right now I can barely keep my eyeballs open.  I'm tired both physically and mentally.  Caring for a sick kid is tough.  Especially if you have another kid that's not sick and bouncing off the walls.  I am proud of myself for not turning to food for an emotional crutch.  Serious progress.
