Day 18
I picked up my son's Batman cake from Custom Creative Cakes. He has made gluten-free cakes before, but he has never even heard of a gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, soy-free cake. He certainly gave me quite a look! I made several paleo treats for a friend of our kids, which they made into a picnic and then left them outside. I thought, "I worked too hard on those for them to just leave them!" Fortunately, my mom rescued them and enjoyed them.
Day 19
I woke up early (on a Saturday!) and exercised. We chose to let the kids eat Easter candy and birthday cake today. But we still experienced a small success: David asked me to throw out his soda and get him water instead! Wow! But he and the other kids did enjoy a load of candy, cake, and pizza. Chris and I did, too, and felt very exhausted and yucky afterward.
Day 20
Of course, being Easter today, we enjoyed more Easter candy, more cake, and starchy food at Grandma's. But we knew it was coming, and we chose to enjoy it. The thing about this high-fat Paleo diet is this: it works fine when you don't eat carbs, but when you do, you find yourself a little bit pudgier. I also exercised today.
I made three paleo dishes for my Sunday School class today, and it went over well with all the men. Arg, meat!
I'm about the business of raising godly children. So far, God has blessed us with six of them! My husband owns his own business, and I'm fortunate enough to stay at home with the kiddos. If you're looking for deep philosophy on this blog, you're out of luck. If you'd prefer random tales of childhood tomfoolery, stick around!
