So…I, ahem, overspent my food budget a little bit over the weekend due to a birthday party. /blush
Ergo…we are eating entirely out of the freezer and deep freezer this week.
Personally, I’m needing to tighten my eating back up a little bit as I’m having some ongoing stomach issues and I’m very itchy again. Boo. I’m really feeling like I need to pull stevia out of my diet for a trial run of at least a week to see if that helps clear up the itchiness. I’m really hoping it’s not the cause, but I need to check it out.
I’m also going to try to start doing better again about incorporating protein in at every meal. I’ve gotten lax in this area, too.
