Days 5,6 and 7.... The weekends

The weekends are always the hardest, you don't have the distraction for 9 hours from work. All I want to do is wake up, go to a nice breakfast with family or friends. This weekend was tough for me, it was my sister in laws bridal shower. Anytime you go to an event when food will be involved is hard. The food there is usually not at all whole 30 compliant. Luckily this one was hosted by my husband's brothers girlfriend Pam. Which her and I have been friends for over 20 years, and she's pretty healthy usually so she had plenty that I could eat. I had a salad with aged fig balsamic vinegar and some oil, cold cuts with compliant mustard and a whole lot of fruit. Was quite tasty, not going to lie, but the temptations were still there. Croissants and cupcakes and cake and bread and icing and and and and.... After my sister in law opened her gifts, it was time for cake and I had to leave to keep away from tempation.

Today was Mother's Day, my mom is very far away. I sent her some flowers but not able to be with her, but we woke up very early and all headed to breakfast with my mother in law, and all the siblings. I find breakfast easier to do at restaurants than dinner. I had hashbrowns and eggs and bacon and sausage, freshly made with no added sugars. It was tasty but I do miss pancakes, and all the yummy things. I had a hard time yesterday, after the rabbit food at lunch, I had a chipolte salad for dinner and by the time I got to eat it, was all cold even the chicken and veggies. I was craving junk food like no other, around 1 am my husband had to distract me to keep me from going to mcdonalds and stuffing my face with gross foods and soda. My efforts are not going unnoticed, I got to talk about my journey with people at the shower, enlightening people with the things I have learnt from whole30. It's hard when you see something you want and you have to do a full 360 because you realize you can't have it. Makes you so aware of all the bad things you might eat on a regular basis without even noticing, until your brain becomes aware of all the naughty things. It's really enlightening, when you start noticing all the sugar you eat daily without a second thought.

I'm glad to announce that I did not succumb to temptation this week. After Mother's Day breakfast we went shopping a little bit for an upcoming trip, the grocery shopping. Got some more fruits, tons of strawberries and cherries and yummy compliant drinks. Replenished some food for the week, and just did nothing for the rest of the day. A little puzzling, laundry, cleaning.... I'm not a mother yet so this was just a regular Sunday in our home. Dinner consists of a roasted chicken and roasted potatoes with a salad. I also roasted extra potatoes and cooked compliant breakfast sausage to have a nice scramble ready for weekday mornings and all I have to do is warm up the mixture a  bit and fry an egg and eat it. It will make much easier mornings, less planning, breakfast ready to go. My fresh fruit is calling my name, I'm going to go enjoy them

I hope you all had a good weekend and a Happy Mother's Day.
