This is one of the harder posts to write. I'm being accountable, right? I'm drinking soda every day. We're still eating well when I cook but things got crazy around here. Fast food and delivery and yadda yadda yadda crept back in. It's so *easy*.
Last night I made a garlic rosemary grassfed chuck roast. It cooked all day in the oven at 170 degrees and was *so* good. I can hardly wait for leftovers tonight. A friend of mine sent me some of her pink and blue potatoes which was nice to fry up on the side.
The holidays have been proven to be difficult. Trying to get things done, buy gifts, and not having a lot of money to spend are all factors in it. I have to figure out which is more important - the experience of Christmas or eating well?
Add to that my perfectionist streak and you can see why it was so easy to fall off the wagon. It's just easier to give up entirely than to do "what you can" and never truly be able to define it - and always think you could have done more.
I'm starting over again, and trying to get around to posting here more often. I've now got a stockpile going of meats in the freezer. I'll be sitting down here shortly in the small amount of quiet I have to write out a meal plan and grocery list and to do list. If I don't defrost something in time then I need to have a backup. I also need to get the gluten and dairy back out of my diet. It's affecting my ability to deal with life.
