Slowly getting there.

It's been slow going getting back on track here. Now that I'm working past the exhaustion and the morning sickness, I have been plagued with some kind of disgusting head cold which I am fearful of turning into a sinus infection.

This week we've made steak and we smoke a brisket. I managed to make a really very lovely meal Wednesday night, and had all the intention in the world of doing the food prep and some cooking yesterday, but this damn cold has me sidelined. We succumbed to pizza. But we're slowly weening ourselves off the grains. I'd say we're back to a 70/30 Paleo diet this week. I'm shooting for at least 80/20 next week, and then 90/10, and then 95/5. So I'm hoping by the end of January we will have successfully made our way back. Why am I taking so long? Why not jump into another Whole30? Well, I don't have the energy for the food prep. I need to have a night a week that we can order out or go out to eat. I'd like to do another Whole30; I need it after the holidays, but right now, I think a good 85/15-95/5 is a good goal. Especially since I still have some lingering morning sickness and cravings and aversions.

So there we are. Slowly making our way back to where we want to be.
