Clean eating and taking care of a sick family

What day is it?  I know it is night time but other than than.....not sure.  I got sick last week.  My husband starting getting sick Saturday night.  Ben got sick Sunday morning.  Nathan got sick Monday morning.  It has been a wild ride of Gatorade, children's chewables and barf buckets.

I told my husband, "it is good we love each other so much and love being around each other so much, because we have been in sick-land going on 3 days".

I have stayed tough on my clean eating.  However, I would give my left foot to guzzle a fruit punch Gatorade.  Yet, I know after I have done that, I will feel poisoned and sad that I did it.  That seems to be the frame of mind that is keeping the crap from being consumed on a daily basis.  That is the only way I got thru Super Bowl Sunday.

Breakfast:
coconut milk, frozen berries, vanilla whey protein shake

snack:
Uncle Sams with ground flaxseed and whole milk - my favorite

lunch:
I slept thru lunch

snack:
Greek yogurt, granola and honey

dinner:
yuckiest omelet with salsa, black beans - seriously, yuckiest!

snack:
walnut and blood orange

Can I talk about how much I love blood oranges!!!!  I discovered them at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market a few weeks ago.  I have bought a 2.5lb bag each week since that day.

I weigh in on Thursday morning.  I started my period on Saturday afternoon so it has been my first week since starting that I have had that going on.  Drinking lots of water and green tea is helping with my period.  In the past, my period has been very, very heavy and I have wanted to eat everything in sight.  This time, I stayed tough.  I did make a chocolate candy recipe (clean) just in case I needed something indulgent.  I have eaten 2 pieces all week and that is all.

I am proud of myself.  I am feeling a bit bored with the eating but having my tried-and-true staples helps.  Hunker down and lets get this sick crap over with.....I have recipes to try and some shopping to do.
