Today is the first day of summer vacation for G & E. My job/ministry gets really busy at the end of the year with First Communions, Confirmation, Senior Dinner, etc. etc. Plus when you throw into the mix the never ending school volunteer commitments like Teacher Appreciation Week, Field Day and 2 Field trips and baseball season my schedule was jam packed. The good news is I made it through this crazy busy time AND I am still eating Paleo!
I really have to give a thanks to Emeals for keeping me on track! I haven't been using my Emeals strictly though. Some of my weekends were so busy that I was unable to do my weekend grocery shopping and prepping. I also had some pretty decent cheats during May that I am not proud of at all! This week Mr. has been out of town at training for work and I've been holding down The Smith Crib with a little help from my parents too.
I've also had a back injury for 3 weeks. It's a lower back injury and so simple things like brushing my teeth seem so difficult and painful. I am working through it though and icing/heating/stretching and being treated. Hopefully after this relaxing weekend I'll be back to full function next week. I learned something about myself during this time that has been eye opening and disappointing at the same time. When I don't feel well. In this case, my body, I have a strong urge to soothe with food. This is something that I am really going to need to be more careful with going forward.
The good news is that I was able to steer myself back on track. I had a garage sale last weekend and cleared my closet and drawers of all my clothes that no longer fit. It was a fun purge but then I got scared and nervous...what if I can't stick with it? What if I gain the weight back? What if? What if? What if? The clothes are gone now...which means I am fully committed and there is no turning back. I know that if I fall off the wagon I can always climb right back on.
In the meantime...we've been continuing to eat some delicious Paleo Food! Here's a photo dump...
