This week has been a bit of a rough one for me. Nothing really to do with food. My wisdom teeth are giving me grief-really just one of them. My top two have been up for a while, but it is like the bottom two got stuck or something. They are about half way up...and the left bottom one is trying like everything to fully meet the rest of my mouth this week. I have had a fever (off and on), an ear ache, a big swollen face, and (of course) a very achy tooth. So, I have not been able to eat a ton of anything since about Thursday. Want the good news? I have a consultation today to schedule the removal of all my teeth of wisdom. I have been told for a while they all need to come out and by multiple dentists. So, now is the time!
I do not have many pictures this week because I haven't been terribly excited about even trying to eat, but here are a few.
Meredith made us this Tuscan bean soup with kale earlier this week. The Tuscan bean part of the soup was really good, but I found that I am not the biggest fan of kale.
Basically this week I have kept to the 4 hour body style of eating. Veggies and beans, veggies and beans, beans and veggies...
For breakfast on cheat day this week-Saturday- I made vanilla bean scones.
They were yummy!! I also made walnut chocolate chunk brownies. (Yea, I am really good at taking it easy on the gluten...) I am bad at this cheat day stuff. By Friday at lunchtime I am extremely tired of just beans and veggies-extremely! So, by Friday night, when I head to the grocery store to stock up for cheat day, I want to buy every bad thing in the store. We ended up buying a brownie mix, some chips, M&Ms, small candy coated Cadbury eggs, and some ice cream. You see what I mean? As it stands right now, cheat day is just a day for me to totally pig out and make myself feel sick. I feel like I eat so much junk on cheat day that I don't really want it through the week that much (until about Friday). Maybe that is the point.
My tummy is still doing really well throughout the week (when I am only eating veggies and beans). I am still having a bit of trouble surrounding cheat day...but I am eating a whole bunch of junk, so that could be it. One day I am going to be strong enough to not go completely insane on cheat day. I hope.
Also, just this morning Meredith told me that I look like I have lost weight...in my head. She just kept saying that it was my head that looked thinner. I laughed quite a bit and then asked her if my big ole head really looked thinner. She, of course, meant my face. =) I hope she is right.

I will leave you with this- Happy Valentine's day, rawr!
Believe it or not, you can get this little guy at your local Wal-Mart on a shirt in the ladies section. I thought it was perfect for Valentine's day!
