Summary of a crazy couple o'weeks!

I haven't updated in a while, it's been a chaotic time these last several days! May 12 my mom got married and we had a houseful of company as well as others to visit with. We also had a huge business event to manage that morning and ended up making it to the wedding with only 5 minutes to spare! Thankfully my mom was so entranced in her bridal bliss to get too stressed about it. She looked more beautiful that day than I have ever seen her look in my entire life. I am very happy for her.

I made the decision, which I now regret to a degree, to just roll with it as far as food goes... did stay about 80% raw that day, and then the next day didn't complain when Andy suggested Panda takeout for our MDay picnic in the park with family and friends. That was the start of the slippery slope.

I started to get back on track during the week, but was too busy to be organized properly.

This past weekend was another insane time with a huge celebration for Andy's dad's 60th bday party which meant all of his siblings and their families were in town so we again had company at our house. On top of all that, B had her ballet recitals on Friday and Saturday night...

Again, I allowed myself to roll with the party and enjoyed all the usual fare during the celebration...

Part of it was just coping... I sprained my ankle on Saturday and let me give you all a piece of advise...

DO NOT TRY TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT WITH A SPRAINED LEFT ANKLE!!!!!!

Somehow I survived.... Sunday I gave new meaning to 'a day of rest' and felt ... so.... BLAH.... I had no energy. When I took account of all I had eaten the last couple days, including that day, it was very telling.

I am in the process of trying to climb back into the wagon. I experienced the full spectrum with the perspective of knowing how I feel when I am eating mostly raw healthy food... it is quite significant.
