I did not sleep very well last night. I drank this detox tea in the morning which was the only thing I did differently otherwise I don't know why I had trouble staying asleep. I cut out the tea today we will see how it goes.
Breakfast : Grapefruit/carrot/ginger juice
It was good and satisfying but for some reason I was very hungry an hour later. I ate half of my morning snack before yoga class and the other half after class.
When I got home I had to make lunch for the kids and it was hard not to take bites of that food. Emelia had a friend over and she asked me to cut the crusts off her PB&J and it tool a lot to throw the crusts away instead of eating them. I have come to realize that is my hardest time of day! Weird!
What I realized today is that one of the reasons this feels so good is because I am doing something for myself. I rarely do that. I rarely make time to take care of me. It feels like a victory! What is funny is spending a little more time on myself has led me to be a better mom. I am less cranky, more willing to play and generally less stressed. Go figure!
Snack: Trail Mix
Lunch: Spiced Butternut Squash Soup
Dinner was really a hard time tonight. I almost gave up. I could not figure out how to peel the acorn squash in the recipe and I was frustrated and hungry and just cranky. I was on the phone with my friend and we just stop and prayed and sure enough about five minutes later I got the squash peeled with a veggie peeler. Weird, right? Oh, I never think of the simplest things, I have to make life complicated.
Lunch: Spiced Butternut squash soup. Delicious!
