So the last few weeks haven’t gone like I thought or planned they would. I have completely failed and thrown myself back in the “poor me” corner… I had a spiral down hill and just haven’t been able to come out of it. I have all these great things in my head, and they all seem so doable. But follow through is my weakness. The problem is I have to not only change my world but my families and that is way overwhelming. It’s freaking hard! We have a daughter that has a naturally low immune system and is an extremely picky eater. To think about changing her eating makes things spin in my head and I’m just going to go back and crawl in my corner. She’s 13, it’s not like I’m changing a toddlers eating habits. Is there hope though? Yes, there always is. I just have to be willing to fight. For the first half of both my kids lives we did a gluten free diet and it worked well. Then life got busy and easy meals became the norm. Now that they are older and having a daughter that thrives in the kitchen I have to think of more then just feeding them. Some how I have to teach her to switch up her baking to a more paleo friendly style and in order to do that I have to learn.

I love baking and cooking but (here come the excuses!) I work fulltime, get off work run home take Averee to gym come back and do school with Ryder, cause 5 years ago we decided HEY LETS HOMESCHOOL! then pick her up, come home and think about dinner at 8 o’clock at night.

Anyway back to the point.

I seriously have to figure out how to get this habit to stick and make these changes for all of us… I’m struggling… I think it’s time to go back to tracking everything and making sure I put it all in the night before. Maybe if I share some recipes it will help me continue down this path. I know it’s going to be an up and down battle until one day it just becomes our norm, but why the fuck does it have to be so hard!

Does anyone pre make meals on the weekends? I hate the thought of giving up my weekends to cook all day. How do you balance that?

Hit me with your best paleo / keto friendly meals you prep early in the week!
