What have I been doing since I last posted?

 

• Working my new job (We just moved into a beautifully new and decorated space)
• Wearing my taxi cab driver hat (Taking two freshman teens to volleyball and football practice.  Sometimes twice a day for both of them!)
• Cooking up a storm
• Kicking butt with my Whole30/Whole9/Paleo-ish diet

• Running (Some but not a lot.  It SHOULD be a LOT but I lost my motivation and my October marathon is going to murder me.)
• Traveling to exotic cities, like umm, San Francisco?   (That counts as exotic, right?)

• Celebrating 5 years of marriage!
• Playing croquet like an old person

• Crafting and sewing when I should be doing other stuff.
• And laundry.  I’ve been doing lots of laundry.  And dishes.
• Lots. Of. Dishes

I think I owe you a bigger explanation of my whole 30 day journey with Whole30 and how that all went down, but uh, I slacked in keeping track of what all I was eating.  I will share with you that I lost 14 pounds total…ayynnnnddd, I gained three pounds back with my trip to San Fran.  I actually did a 33 day stretch there of no dairy, sugar, legumes, grains nor alcohol and on Friday night on our drive to see the Golden Gate Bridge, I overdosed on frozen yogurt.  It was worth it!  Weight loss aside, I loved how I felt without sugar being in control of my life.  I went to bed with a flat stomach and woke up not looking like I was 6 months preggo.  My blood sugar levels felt the most stable they’ve been in over 20 years.  I went up to five hours between a meal once without feeling like I was close to slipping into a coma or kill anyone.  So am I going to keep this up?  You betcha!  It won’t be perfect and I will indulge when it’s worth it…but it’s got to be worth it.  I’m talking to you fro-yo.
