Confessions...

I know...I know. It's been OVER a whole month since I last wrote on my blog! I've been thinking about writing at least once or twice a week, but haven't really had the time to get to it.


Confession: I've been kind of having writer's block since I ended the Whole 30!


So, writer's block yes, but also the end of the school year is always crazy - events and field trips and closing of grades and such. I'm hoping to write at least 4 times a week during the summer - and the summer starts next Monday! It will be the first summer that I don't work at all....I can't wait!

Ok so I'm sure you're wondering how the food is going since the Whole 30 ended...that was a little over a month ago.

Confession: I've eaten Eggo waffles in the past few weeks. Oh, and....wait for it - PopTarts today.

Confession: I don't have any desire to eat a PopTart ever again. Just tasted....ehhh. I could skip it.


As you can see, I haven't exactly completely changed my lifestyle. However, I have carried over some of the good habits I've picked up from the Whole 30.


For the most part, I still eat a really good breakfast - bacon and eggs usually (minus the Eggos the last week).
I have still been drinking lots of lemon water, and the only pop I buy is the La Croix that I started drinking during the Whole 30.

Confession: I still have some regular Coke and Pepsi every now and then.


We had a car wash a few weeks ago and I left it with the most splitting headache. My relief came from a fountain Pepsi at 7-11 and some Aleve when I got home. (It was so good, unlike those PopTarts I could live without.) So while I'm trying to not buy this fully sugared pop in mass quantities, it's not totally removed from my diet.

Confession: Because it's the end of the school year, I've been slacking and not preparing myself for a week of good eating.


I'm really hoping to get back to business next week when summer vacation starts. My Color Run in Saturday (have been trying to practice lots lately!) so that will be a great way to start a healthy summer.

I'm very conscious of what I'm eating, but the thing is, sometimes I just eat bad stuff anyways because, as I found out before, I'm an emotional eater.

Confession: I've had a few days where I didn't get on the scale because I was afraid of how bad it would be!


No, I didn't gain back everything I lost, but I did gain back some, so why am I going to go make myself feel worse by weighing myself when I know it's not going to be good?


Confession: Ignorance is bliss.


So, take it as you will. This food thing is a DAILY situation. It's not like you can do good for a month and then be in the free and clear for the rest of the year. I'm just trying to do my best by not doing the all-or-nothing thinking. Like, if I have a piece of candy, I don't need to throw away the whole day and binge on everything bad for me.


So there you have it. Are you judging me?
