Guess Who's Back?

Back againnnnn

TELL A FRIEND.

Nahh, but really. I know that I've had like three posts of, "HAHAHA, LOOK, I HAVE A BLOG!" but I honestly think now is a good time to keep an update for a few weeks.

First off: Whole 30 Starting on Thursday.

But you're a teacher!! 
Where will you find the time?!
THANKSGIVING!!
PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(hahaha okay, okay, enough with the Eminem gifs.)

I get it.  I have bad timing.  But I have a reason!  I want my Whole 30 to be up right before I fly out to Cincinnati for the holidays to avoid any stomach issues while up there.

"Chrissy, I've been meaning to ask you about all of that...." 

Another topic for another post.

BACK TO WHOLE 30:

Am I still Paleo?

Hell yeah.  I only really fell off the wagon this past week.  Prior to that, I had been living more with an 80/20 rule.  I'd still pig out on pizza at parties and stuff, but I would regularly bring my lunch to school and still cook dinner during the week.

But this past week..... Ohhhh this past week...

Pretty accurate.  Why?  Some of it is just stress from work and craving junk.  Some of it (honestly) is all the junk food I never got to try!  I type this as I am dipping into some Ben & Jerry's Core ice cream.  I'll be sick as no one's business, but I felt like I was missing out!

However, I've started to suffer the effects.  My face isn't as clear, I'm more exhausted, and I'm bloated to the point that my kids might start taking bets on when my maternity leave is.  I'm looking forward to having a nice little reboot for my body and my immune system.

(HAHAAHA WHO MAKES THESE? "GO'S"? The English teacher in me is screaming)

Anywho, I'll continue to share recipes and update how everything's going.  I'll be logging my food into a nutrition tracker for my own personal preferences if anyone is curious.  I'm sure that I'll also share hilarious stories of how this goes over with teaching and being offered free food CONSTANTLY.

Wish me luck!
