Hello! I hope you celebrated your mom today. I spent time with several mothers, but not my own, unfortunately (love you, moum!). And I foster animals, so maybe I am also a mom? The point is, Happy Mother's Day. I'm sure yours is a swell lady.
So...last time we talked I was about to start Whole30. ...Heh. Here's the lowdown. I stopped after two weeks. I was very proud of myself for eating so responsibly. But I wasn't consuming enough calories to sustain myself. I was getting really dizzy, lethargic, and headachey. So tired all the time. So I added dairy in at first, which made things way better. And now, I'm back to normal again. I came away from it with an awareness of my poor eating habits, and I'm trying to be conscious of my sugar intake.
My mom, on the other hand, is a total boss. She started Whole30 immediately after I told her about the concept, and stuck with it til the end. I am very proud of her. She's tough. I wish we could hang out and share this delicious and incredibly simple sherbet. It's zingy, sweet, and very refreshing. Just like my mom (congrats on being the first person I have ever described as "zingy")!
