I woke up to the wonderful pitter patter of rain this morning. Rainy days are rare around here, and they always make me to want to curl up with an old book and a hot cup of coffee. It’s still over 90 degrees outside, but I like to look out the window and pretend it’s cold and blustery.
My mom made a perfect apple pie last night. Not too sweet with a salty crumbly crust. With Pooh nudging me on, I had a slice of that sweet salty deliciousness for breakfast.
Which means I haven’t stuck to my “reset” plan. In fact I’ve failed twice since starting. I have come to realize that as much as I want to pretend like I’m strong enough, I just can’t do it on my own.
So Jeff is going to join me this week in starting a new Whole 30 challenge. He’ll do 30 days of whole foods, and I’ll do 30 days of whole low-FODMAP foods. With my husband by my side, I have a 99% chance of following through. (Leaving only a 1% chance he’ll find me hiding in the closet with a candy bar).
But today, it’s pie for breakfast. And it. Is. Good.
Do you have a hard time sticking with something all by yourself?
What will you confess this week?
You go girl, you deserve pie for breakfast (there’s fruit in there.) I may or may not have enjoyed peach and plum crisp more than a few times this summer for breakfast. Good luck with the next 30 days – you can do it (and you can lean on your online friends, too, don’t forget!)
Does this mean we won’t be going for Tuesday tacos anytime soon?!
Next month!
I can totally relate to having the accountability of your husband! Andrew and I have been eating vegan (the healthier veggie heavy version, not-so-much the fake subsititutes vegan stuff) since March and I definitely wouldn’t be sucessful at it without him! It makes such a difference!
Definitely! Good for you guys!
Hey Alysa,
I am the same Camille from GD blog. Went to Austin for my daughter’s tennis tourn this weekend and allowed my food to get low or non-existent. We played away from any gf food places so yesterday morning tired, hot and hungry, I was eating a bag of Ruffles and drinking a Sprite and the only thing I could think is “well, at least, I won’t get a stomach ache..” F for fail. 🙂
Oh no! Definitely been there. It’s hard when you have limited options and run out of your own stash.
I was trying to start the whole 30 with you and gluten dude and I forgot today was the start date so I had boost shake as creamer and sugar in my coffee this morning. I am getting on the wagon with lunch and dinner and will try to stay strong starting tommorrow. I am afraid to give up my boost because this was doctor recomended to slow the weight loss I was experiancing but I will be seeing him soon to be sure this is safe. Stay strong, when you slip up start over and dont let it be an excuse for the whole day. We are all in this together. You are very lucky to have a supportive husband mine is suportive in many ways but would not change his diet if it were him with celiac instead of me so having that support is huge.
I definitely have a hard time by myself, but sometimes it’s harder with someone else because if they want/need to slip up I go right along with it. I’ve gotten better about doing my own thing, regardless of other people, but I’m not gonna lie – if someone says cake for dinner, I’m probably gonna have a slice!
