Remember not that long ago when I set "goals" and one of those was to lose weight? Yeah. BOOOOO. I hate dieting. I love to work out, but have yet to figure out the logistics of finding time to get to the gym - or the actual desire when the time is found.
The past several days I have been getting sick and I am trying to figure out why. After talking with a friend yesterday, I am beginning to think I may have developed an intolerance for dairy products. Yet another BOOOOOO. I love cheese. Love it, love it, love it. It's so yummy, I can snack on it all day and never get sick of it. Cheese makes my world go round. I would DIE if I really can't eat cheese anymore. DIE. So, starting last night, I cut out dairy. I figured I might as well try to shape up the other things I eat while I'm killing myself. So, today was day one of truly trying to be smart about everything that goes into my mouth. I stayed out of the kitchen as much as possible, even if the kids were eating. I would make them their plates and then head to the play room or clean the bedrooms or just sit on the couch. After breakfast was all done and I had cleaned up the kitchen, I did "exercises" with the kids. It was totally cute. We did some laps around the house, jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, arm rolls...it was a good time! As was to be expected, the kids tried to take it too far and kind of ruined the good time after about 20 minutes, but I still felt good about getting up and moving. I even managed to keep the tv off all morning! We had a dance party in the playroom, and ate a nice lunch together. The twins took a great nap, and Zoe at least attempted one.
So, I made a rice/chicken/tomatoes/green beans dish this evening that was a big hit with everyone! It was very healthy and everyone ate their fill...even without any cheese. I did sprinkle some Parmesan on the dairy eaters' plates...not as much as usual, but I didn't want everyone having to go cold turkey.
I feel fine. I'm not really super hungry. I only got sick twice today and it was pretty significantly less than the past week has been, so maybe I'm on to something?
Super tired, but that's probably just a little detox. Ha, ha.
Talk soon!
