I was essentially sweating all day because it takes so much longer to make these meals so I was in the kitchen a ton.
I woke up feeling much less positive that yesterday, which could have had to do with the fact that the kids didn't sleep that great. I woke up tired and when I walked into the kitchen and realized I couldn't just pour a bowl of cereal, I was not very motivated.
But I sucked it up (because really I have no choice unless I want to starve) and made scrambled eggs with onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes. It was pretty bland but staved off the hunger for a while.
I have felt really good overall today. Almost no bloating and gas. Another really awesome thing that I've noticed is actually how the kids have been responding to the change in food.
Last week Abigail started complaining of a stomach ache and I thought it would pass but it went on day after day. Her #2s were indicating that she in fact had something weird going on in her system. I felt bad because I knew we weren't eating healthy and that was probably what was causing it.
Since yesterday she has not complained of a stomach ache!! I'm also really proud of both of the kids for eating a lot of the stuff we have been making even though it's a little different. Abigail is not a huge veggie person but she has done so much better than I expected.
Dinner took forever and was meh.

At the end of the day, my kitchen was literally a disaster. Food everywhere. Dishes everywhere. It was a little disheartening knowing that it would probably be like this at the end of most days this month. But I realized that the worst thing to possibly do is leave the mess for the morning because that would just start the next day off totally horrible.
So I pulled on my big girl panties and got to work, not only doing the dishes and cleaning the counters, but even mopping the floors! My kitchen is now sparkling clean and ready to be destroyed again tomorrow. :-D
