This is an account of what I ate last week. I have been in complete mom mode the past couple weeks and haven’t had much of a chance to blog. But I did want to keep up with this series! I have cheated a few times: over the weekend to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday, and I had some gluten free pretzels to unwind from LONG days with my boys. Emotional eating, I admit it. (Todd has been traveling, so I’d say that these eating “cheats” are warranted! 😉 )
I seem to start the week strong, but it becomes more difficult toward the weekend. I’m trying not to beat myself up about it! This healthy eating/weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint, after all.
