What I ate this week [August 31- September 6]
This past week was a whirlwind — between a hospital appointment for my son and the kids heading back to school, it felt like there was barely a moment to catch my breath. And yes… I may have indulged in one too many granola bars (they’re too convenient), but overall, I’m really proud of how I ate. Despite the stress and lack of routine, I managed to keep things mostly clean and nourishing. It’s not about perfection — it’s about showing up for yourself, even when life gets busy.

Even with the ups and downs of the week — from stress snacking to busy schedules — I’m walking away feeling good about the choices I made. Progress isn’t linear, and every week won’t be perfect, but finding balance and showing myself grace is part of the journey. Here’s to another week of nourishing food, small wins, and learning what works best for me and my family.
