Highlight: first time we had friends over for dinner while I’ve been doing this. It was totally fine. I mean meat and potatoes; it’s the basis of all good dinner parties, no? Thank you for the potatoes (and ice cream), Sara!
(Disclosure: I didn’t eat the ice cream)
Lowlight: mealy apple for breakfast. Just gross.
Sorry for the ugly dinner plate; I forgot the picture until round two.
Day 12
Highlight: going to Chick-Fil-A with the girls and not hoovering their nugget crumbs.

I had a big breakfast to preempt temptation. The girls had fun so it was worth it.
Day 13
Highlight: nice day with daddy while the kids played with their cousins. Thanks my brother and sister-in-law!
Olives and pistachios for snacks at an afternoon movie.
Lowlight: we ate out twice today and it was rough. Too many modifications for anyone to get my order right apparently. Oh well. My bad. We’re back to eating at home tomorrow.
Missed a picture of the eggs for breakfast and the olives this afternoon.
Day 14
Highlight: back home where I don’t have to navigate and negotiate! I can just eat!
It was super nice to have time with Tim, to sleep in, and to know the girls were having a blast with family.
Lowlight: running low on supplies. Gonna have to hit up the grocery store asap tomorrow.
Day 15
Highlight: half way done! Roasted okra is my new obsession. Tastes like fried without the work. Where has this been all my life?!
Ran a bit today without my knees hurting me. It’s been a longtime since I could even walk without that pain. Generally speaking, my joint pain is almost nonexistent. 15 days ago I hurt almost all day. I did not feel 37. For real.
