Move In Day

Thank you for all your comments on the crazy eating adventures. I LOVED reading them all! If you missed out on what I am talking about, you can catch them here and here.

I think it is so interesting to find out the there are so many other people that are dealing with the same kinds of things and learning from eachother is so helpful!

So intersting to find out how many of you were former vegan or vegetarians at one time. It is a TOUGH lifestyle to maintain in the world we live in today. I feel MUCH more normal now thanks to all of you. I am going to go tell Ben. ;)

Now that I have filled you in on how crazy I have to eat right now, I feel like I can post more of what I am eating without anyone freaking out on me. Maybe cause I eat things like this for BREAKFAST.

Broiled salmon and broccoli...

 With a HUGE plate of kale chips!

This might LOOK like an enormous meal but veggies don't go that far. I have to eat LOTS and lots of them to get enough to eat.

Just a typical breakfast over here. Ha. So weird right? The first few days it was really weird to wake up and eat stuff like this. I guess I am in the grove now because I am usually so hungry after the gym now I don't even care. What is this coming to!?!

Yesterday was moving day over here! Ben's parents are now here for real and getting settled in!

For those of you who are totally confused... we have been living in Vance and Christine's house for the 4 years that we have been married. They haven't lived here in this house during that time though because Vance was in the military. They are nice enough to let us bum around with them for a few months until Ben's leaves for his Navy training in October. We are actually excited for all the time we are going to get to spend with them before we move away. They are so laid back and great I have no worries about ANY of this. ;) Vance and Christine are the BEST!

They got here LATE last night and were still up at the crack of dawn to start unloading the truck. Stamina people... they are amazing. I was tired just watching them.

I felt pretty useless with my lack of energy lately, there was no chance I was going to be hauling boxes around. Need I remind you 30 mins on the elliptical was enough cardio for me? Pooped. I would probably have made it inside with one box and the needed a nap. I decided to make myself useful instead by making food. Stick to what your good at right!?!

I am still cleansing the pantry a little so I used up some things that have been kicking around. These were given to me, you KNOW these are totally random for me to have in my cupboard. 

But throw in some tortillas, beans and cheese, salsa, chips and fruit... and voila!

Lunch is served.

The boys were especially excited about the IBC Root Beer that was found in the cupboards. I bought it at Christmas for Ben and with all the other goodies around it was forgotten about and pushed to the back of the cupboard. We found it on the perfect day though, everyone worked so hard today! 

Funfetti cookies. Nothing fancy but who doesn't love funfetti? It's just fun!

I should have taken a picture of them getting the extra fridge down to the basement. That was a little scary... ah! It made it down with minimal blood shed but that thing isn't EVER coming back up.

One a sad "Holley your so pathetically WEAK right now note"... I had to have Ben open my jar of coconut oil for me. I haven't had him open a bottle for me in a LONGGGG time. And this was a bottle I have used like 20 times already. Pathetic. I am telling myself I was just to lazy to do it. Ha.

I have been having a hard time sleeping the past couple nights. I don't know if that has anything to do with the Candida diet or not. BETTER not though. I can handle food restrictions but nothing comes between me and my sleep! Crossing my fingers that tonight isn't another restless night again. Boo...

Would you rather pack UP a house or UNPACK one???

Mmm... so tough. Neither is fun but I am gonna say unpack. As long as I don't have to move those boxes.

When was the last night someone else opened a jar for you?

I am humbled. This might be happening much more often for a while.
