I've been sick for 10 days now. Thankfully with proper drugs, I seem to be turning the corner...
I thought being sick would negatively impact my real food ideals more than it did.
I did buy some soup from Panera one time, which of course, is not real food.
But it tastes super-good.
But I managed to stay the course, otherwise.
We actually ate MORE healthfully than normal, because goshdarnit I was going to get proper vitamin C in my system and keep the boys healthy if I could.
Today, two or three weeks into our food renovation, I had my first really bad cravings for really bad food.
I might as well be in detox.
I was craving McDonalds.
And frozen pizza.
Michael and I haven't touched McDonalds for two years now, and on a normal day I can't even abide the thought of it anymore.
But today, I wanted their french fries that have absolutely no resemblance in look or taste to potatoes.
And frozen pizza because it's so easy to eat.
I looked up one of those "if you're craving this, your body needs that" charts.
I don't have any raw goat milk in the house, and I wasn't about to just pound a teaspoon of sea salt, although we did have that in the house. I don't eat fish, wasn't about to just fry up a pan of meat, and am trying to save our supply of nuts for our family vacation. (And because today during a Monday meltdown, one of the boys distracted me to a certain state where I accidentally burned the granola in our oven, so our nut supply was already lower than it should have been.)
So I settled and decided to eat a "healthier" version of the pizza.
Pepperoni, mozzarella, and french bread. Microwaved.
Real food failure....complete.
But it tasted good.
