Whole30 Meal Plan (week 2)

#grainfree meal -- whole30 meal plan for week 2

Y’all.  I done lost my MIND this past week.

Lost it.

I adopted a second dog … an 8-week old PUPPY.

The New Puppy - chihuahua poodle mixYeah — I have no idea what I was thinking.  Six chicken, three children and now TWO dogs?  And not just any dog … but a 3-pound chihuaha-poodle mix that needs constant care and supervision?

Oy, ve.   

Of course, the children were THRILLED with a new puppy, especially the Little Lady.  She considers Kyle to be her BABY.  He’s replaced her books, dolls, crayons … he is the plaything du jour.  And he just laps it right up!

Week One Confessions

I finished the first week of my Whole30 a little less than perfectly.  Technically, that means I’m starting over again this week … but, yeah.  Week two is what I’m calling it.  I made an executive decision.

My downfall was thinking I didn’t need to pack Whole30 snacks or lunches to take to work.  I *thought* since I’m only in my office 5 hours, I could go without and just eat after picking the kids up from school.  Let me tell ya … waiting till after 3pm to eat lunch is just plain stupid!  And (hanging my head in shame), I chose to just hit up Starbucks to appease hunger instead of thinking clearly and picking something Whole30 approved.

With that said, yesterday afternoon, as I stumbled over the puppy in the kitchen and tried to keep up with what was happening on Downton Abbey, I took the time to cook Chicken and Apple sausages, boil a dozen eggs, slice veggies, and mix up portions of balsamic dressing.  My lunches are now ready to go just like the Kidlets.

Woo hoo!
