Growing Like a Weed!
I think Lu’s about to do some growing. She slept 13.5 hours on Friday night, last night she did 12.5 (and we had to wake her up), and then she took a 4 hour nap this afternoon. And then? She went to bed at her normal bedtime of 7 PM. She’s not acting sick (knock on wood) but she did have some immunizations today, so that could be part of it.
I think, I’ve also grown like a week this weekend-mentally that is. I’ve gone down this path before but I always get derailed. I think the blog will really help with this. I’ve read Victoria Moran’s Fit from Within about 4 times cover to cover and I always try and fail. I think part of that failure is that a diary is a really important part of the journey and I HATE paper diaries. I’ve never been good at keeping them up-ever. But! I’m great at blogging, so I think/hope/know it’ll stick this time.
Guess what? My stomach issues? Have resolved themselves. I think stress does it to me (and dairy). I’ve been eating sanely and only limiting dairy and I feel 100% better.
My friends didn’t end up being able to stop. They got a later start to their day then they thought and they had a 6 hour drive ahead of them so we decided it’d be better to visit the next time they were coming through (miss you Callie!).
I decided to make some seriously amazing baked tofu:
To go on some stir fry:
It was great and I ate all of it 🙂
It gave me a chance to use the new knife that my Mom got me for Christmas:
How fun are these veggies?
Now, I’ve got 3 lunches for this week:
I had an incredibly productive day. I got all my work done, I cleaned out my kitchen drawers, I cleaned the kitchen, did some filing, and put away some odds and ends. Plus I deep cleaned Lu’s high chair-it needed it!
I also had fun with my munchkin.
Lastly? I had a great eating day. I ate a lot less than I normally would and I feel 100% satiated. I call that a success.
Overall, it was a good week.

yummy lunches! i love making something great on the weekends you know you can look forward to all week!
omg Chelsea!!! I am just catching up on my google reader (umm you posted a TON when I was gone!!) and I just wanted to let you know I was really struck by your You aren’t what you eat post because honestly i have met you and I have never thought thought of you as anything but an amazing organized Mom, who cooks healthy meals (EVERY DAY!) for her family and is very successful. I hope you know that is how people view you!!! I mean I totally understand food issues, i have had plenty of my own, maybe not the same but I don’t think you understand the amazingness you project! It makes me sad seeing the things you write but I guess I am happy you are putting that out there and “dealing” with it rather then keeping it in. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE one day make a post SOLELY focusing only on the fabulous-ness of your life, your loves and your laughs and amazing eats and nothing else. That is clearly all I ever do! If I posted and took pics of the bad parts I would be an awful person! lol Ohh and BTW 1500 calories is SOO little!!!! I would be famished. I shoot for 1800 if I do less I ALWAYS binge.
So glad to hear your tummy is feeling better!
That knife is too much fun!
Chelsea I’m so glad you had a great week 🙂 Hopefully this new one will be a better one for me! I love reading your blogs. I’m happy to hear your tummy isn’t bothering you anymore.
Oh and just so you know your juicing inspired me to start making fruit smoothies in the morning. They aren’t as interesting or as super healthy as yours but they’re better than what I’ve been eating – so thank you!!!
Amber-today was just for you-well actually it was how I felt, but I thought you’d like it. 🙂
Ashley-Fruit smoothies are GREAT and totally healthy-GO YOU!
Cyn-the knife is seriously awesome.
That knife is way to groovy!!
Your baked tofu looks amazing! It reminded me of a favorite baked tofu lunch that I had forgotten about:
Spinach wrap, hummus, chopped baked tofu, fresh greens (whatever you prefer), sliced cucumbers, and a small amount of thinly sliced red onion. goat’s feta can also be added.
It is delicious!
I love reading your blog Chelsea!
