Surrender....sort of

Well I thought my stubbornness and determination would hold me through the 30 days. But then the stomach flu swept through our house, taking no prisoners. The paleo birthday party I had planned for yesterday was cancelled because I was unable to get out of bed. Sawyer had it a few days ago, but it was pretty mild so I didn't think much of it. But today it got Tucker bad and John is just waiting for the inevitable. Needless to say, meat is neither appealing nor beneficial when you have the stomach flu. So, in my weakened state, I agreed to John's pleas to be done with the Whole 30 and allow some comfort foods back in our life. 

It's going to be a slow transition (we are not ordering a big, steamy pizza like John suggested), and I still want to keep our house as allergen-free as possible. We're still working out the details of what's "allowed" and what's not. But I guess this is the purpose of the Whole 30 - to find a diet that's right for your family while being mindful of what you eat.

Go away, stomach flu!
