Day #21...A Storm is Comin'

A storm is comin' to New England! Today was a tough day. Not because my experiences today were hard...but because my mind knows that tomorrow is going to be hard. The snow storm that is arriving tonight is going to last 24 hours and dump 2 feet+ of snow! I had to go to the grocery store and collect our supplies (who knows when we will dig out?!?!) I wasn't going for the snow storm "normals"...chips, pizza...and of course...baking supplies! Nope...I filled our cart full of bananas, apples, oranges, eggs, almond butter, avocados and broccoli! There is no "bending the rules" on Whole30. You either do it...or you don't! We have not come this far to throw in the towel because a snow storm is coming to town. Yes, it would be nice to wake up to hot chocolate and a cinnamon "monkey bread..." but, I know that this will not be the last snow storm and the next storm we will be able to incorporate some of those "treats" into our new, healthy lifestyle :) Meals today were "on the fly" (Claire has a double ear infections) so breakfast was a sunbutter raisin protein muffin and a handful of almonds. Lunch was a salad with leftover Italian shredded pork. Dinner was scrambled hamburg with peppers, onion and mushrooms with a few sweet potato oven baked fries on the side. ~Jen
