Day4

The thing that is hardest to get used to is being famished in the morning when I wake up but having to wait an hour for breakfast to be ready. By the time I feed the kids and cook my meal, that's how long it takes. Why not feed the kids the same thing? Besides that Collin can't eat eggs, and that is always a staple in these breakfasts, they are not going to wait 45 minutes to eat. They are little kids, and they are starving in the morning too, and they don't have the control to wait patiently. I can barely do it!

Meds at 8:30 with 8oz. water.
Breakfast 9:30 - scrambled eggs with ground beef, onion, and garlic with a side of sauteed zucchini, squash, onions, and mushrooms in coconut oil. 12oz. water.

Another thing - How am I supposed to eat slowly and enjoy my meals when the kids are whining "Mommy! Mommy! Mom! Mommy! Moooommmmmmmy!" in my ear every five seconds? This part of the Whole30 program sounds great in theory but is clearly a just a suggestion for those who don't have children.

Took the whole morning to clean Collin's room, but it looks fantastic! Just need to vacuum it. Now, how long will the floor stay Lego free? Hmmm.

Lunch at 12:30 - can of tuna with homemade mayo and relish. Supps at 1:15 with 8oz. water.

Clipped all of Maisie's nails while she was sleeping. No fuss at all with that cat! Love her. Now to clean Olivia's room before Kim and the girls come over.

After all that cleaning, I need a snack. An apple would be perfect! And a couple ham rollups with mustard. 8oz. water

Dinner at 7:00 - chicken breast and steamed cauliflower and 8oz. water. I'm feelin' the ulcer discomfort again... :( Good thing Mike just brought the mail in, and the book Good Food for Bad Stomachs is in the pile waiting to be cracked open. It is written by gastroenterologist Henry D. Janowitz, M.D., formally Head of the Division of Gastroenterology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I will digest some of this tonight (no pun intended).

8:45 - still hungry...this is the kind of hungry that I would normally grab some ice cream or a big bowl of fruit or both. Instead, I am having a leftover mini mushroom burger and 4oz. water.
