I finished up my first week on the Whole30 diet on Valentine's Day. Nothing like a sea of heart-shaped boxes full of chocolate and Valentine's candy to keep my sweet tooth en pointe. I did really well until I went to the grocery store after work to get more veggies. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, looked so good. Stuff I would have never, ever eaten even if I wasn't trying to eat whole looked absolutely fabulous. Note to self: Stay out of the grocery store when you're hungry. It doesn't help.
I didn't make breakfast for myself but I wasn't really hungry so I just had a banana. For lunch, I had a new recipe to try, Basil Tomatoes, along with some left over cold pork chops and my usual almonds. Dinner was the remainder of the pork chops and I've officially gone off pork. Just the thought of making another pork chop sends shivers down my spine.
A suggestion for natural sources of calcium was kale. I picked up a bunch at Safeway and will try to make Melicious' "Kale Chips" when I'm feeling a bit better. I seemed to have caught the crud that is going around the hospital. Again. Never fails, get the flu shot, get sick. Don't get the flu shot, don't get sick.
The tutus are coming along quite well. I broke my sewing machine needle last night sewing my tulle ruffles onto the waist band. Oops. Guess I don't know my own (machine) strength. Or it might have been because I sewed over one of the 1, 204 straight pins I had in there holding it all together. I calculated the square footage of tulle in my tutu. If my math skills are up to snuff, I have 2,508 square feet of emerald green tulle all snugged up into a puffy skirt.
