Hangry Toddlers and the Chik-fil-a Mess

This weekend I did some bad, bad things. {No, Cody those don't count...} I'm still on The Whole30. Totally rocking it and then bam! Chik-fil-a happens. What do you do when a car full hangry screaming toddlers and a husband who is foaming at the mouth for food, out-vote you? You go.

While browsing the menu, I saw that I could have salad {with no dressing} and fruit. How nice. 

I decided to just suck it up and get some grilled chicken nuggets and fruit. I really needed some protein because I was about to go to Lowe's {which is totally comparable to Target when it comes to the overspending of The Hub's paycheck}. Now, I know Chik-fil-a is not Whole30 approved and to those people who are thinking she's got to totally start over. She didn't do it right... You can kiss my ass. 

For the last 3 weeks, I've eaten pretty much perfect {except for the spaghetti sauce}. I feel like this last week, I should maybe start transitioning to Paleo. I've had the 21st stuck in my mind as a cheat day for almost a month. I don't want to binge on carbs and cheese and ruin what I've done so far. Honestly, after thinking about everything, I may not re-introduce cheese {or dairy, at all} back into my diet. It makes me feel like shit. I already know that. This whole not eating pasta and hamburger buns is what is a hard concept for me to wrap my mind around. "I eat my hamburger with a fork" said no one ever. 

So, this is where our good friend moderation comes in. A hamburger or pasta once a month won't kill me but in my trainer's words, "it'll make you feel like crap and you'll feel it at your workout for the next 3 days." Awesome. So, it's comparable to a hangover. I'd rather down a bottle of wine and have a real hangover. 

I'm feeling old here. Moderation in college was not drinking a friends whole bottle of vodka before we went out. Now it means only eating a hamburger or pasta once a month. Crown me an official adult. I've birthed babies, payed bills, and only eat food that makes me feel good while shoving it in my mouth-hole once a month. 


I'm working on feeling empowered. It's getting better. 

Alyson over at acornphotography nominated me for a Liebster. I'll be answering her questions tomorrow. 

Thursday is my last day for The Whole30 and I'll be telling y'all how much weight I lost. Let me just tell you that I was totally surprised at how quickly the amount of weight fell off. I'm not a skeptic anymore.

Y'all have an amazing Monday!!

I can't wait to hear about the weight loss. I know I agree - eating a bad meal is equivalent to a night out with my friend vodka.

Can not wait to hear about your loss!!!

Did they let you order an adult meal grilled or did you have to order the kids meal?

Yea, being an adult sucks sometimes. I'm with you though, I'd rather drink my way to feeling like crap than eat it. HA!

Looking forward to seeing your progress!
