- killed my lower body workout;
- done my weekly "scrub" facial (I will NOT go gentle into that good night);
- started the laundry;
- baked the chicken thighs for this week's work lunch;
- boiled eggs for same;
- cooked and ate breakfast (2 scrambled eggs, 1 cup raspberries, 1/2 avocado);
- did all the freaking dishes;
Holy crap.
Oh, and I also weighed one of the snakes who's very tiny and a bit of a problem feeder. He seems to be holding his own at the moment, not that this is anyone's earthshattering concern outside of my own and the Gum Zombie's.
----------------------------
My Whole30 eating is going well. For anyone wondering if I've gone off the rails, let me assure you I do not suffer. Again, the plan was to post pictures; however, Blogger seems to lack interest in permitting me to do so for the foreseeable future. If anyone feels their lives would be complete if only they just had a visual, simply email me and I'll send you the pictures myself.
But forward! Here is what I eat on any given day:
Breakfast:
2 eggs, a cup of berries, 1-2 cups broccoli or 12-ish stalks of asparagus. Today, there was avocado.
Lunch:
Usually it's grilled chicken thigh over sauteed spinach, onions, and tomatoes, seasoned with a boatload of spices (my current obsession is mustard seeds), topped with either diced avocado or a 100-calorie packet of Wholly Guacamole (which is Whole30 compliant), a hard boiled egg, an apple, and a tablespoon of coconut butter. Uhm, those last two items are eaten on the side, not on top of the chicken.
Yesterday, though, I had about 5 ounces of salmon, a bunch of asparagus, half an avocado, and two of those brown "kumatos" I believe I referenced in a previous entry. Those things are just awesome.
Dinner:
I tend to go protein/ vegetable/ vegetable here. Sometimes it's much like yesterday's lunch. Last night it was a 4 oz. grass fed (I die) burger patty, 2 cups of broccoli, and around one medium sweet potato's worth of oven "fries".
There was supposed to be the second half of the lunch avocado on last night's dinner but I forgot and by the time I remembered, I was full; hence, avocado for breakfast this morning.
So, no. Not suffering here. And my abs are back, which is timely considering my belly dance class is performing at a local arts festival this upcoming Saturday.
I would promise to post a picture, but unless Blogger complies I don't see it happening.
--------------------------------
So before bed tonight I need to
- finish the laundry;
- cook and pack the rest of my weekly work lunches;
- bake the boys' chicken tender stash (I buy bulk raw, freeze 2/3, marinate the remainder -- 14 or so tenders -- about 36 hours, then bake up a bunch for their dinners/ snack/ but I'm still HUNGRY! fests);
- go to dance practice (we scheduled a special one, which is good because my Stupid Knee is acting in concert with The Bum Hip to make some of these shimmies a bit obnoxious for me);
- and the boys really both need a damn haircut. Not sure if that's going to happen, but it's on my radar.
Laterz!!

Love this entire post! Most days I feel like that old commercial for the US Army: I get more done before 9AM than most people do all day! You rock it. :)
She managed to scrape my butt off of the couch and away from my book long enough to get the boys' hair cut :) And I refuse to do the Whole30 thing. She already has me eating wheat bread for the last 4 years, that's about as healthy as I can handle with my Southern taste buds.
Thanks Norma :D
And yes dear... we know you miss your squishy white bread. I love you.
...ah...I still remember the days pre-children when weekends meant lazing about with my guy and doing whatever we pleased...nowadays I feel like every weekend I have this long list of to-do's, not to mention being taxi driver on call for my girls and their friends...Hurry up Maddie! get that drivers' licence!!
