Day 2

So, Day 2 (October 31) did not end so well.

I did not have a completely GF day. I also ate a lot of dairy.

The day started out good. I packed a healthy lunch for work - Annie's vegetarian, organic, gluten-free chili, and two unsweetened, organic mini apple sauce snacks.  

But, my work day was really hectic and busy, and I was barely able to eat any of my lunch. I also wasn't able to drink much water, so I arrived home dehydrated and starving.

I attended a family Halloween get-together that evening, and the main focus (besides kids running around in adorable costumes) was food. Delicious food. Deliciously unhealthy food. 

All of the kitchen's gigantic island counter was covered with crock pots full of dips, and plates full of cupcakes and other sweets. There were healthy options as well- a veggie platter and oranges dressed up like pumpkins.

But, I did not eat any of the healthy options. I was sipping on a warm Fireball whiskey apple cider, and digging into the buffalo chicken dip and the rich potato soup.

The main problem for me throughout the evening was the buffalo chicken dip and tortilla chips. I dipped a lot of chips into that dip and shoved them in my mouth.

Buffalo chicken dip (for those who aren't familiar) is a lot of fat, a lot of sodium, and a lot of dairy.

My minor gluten transgression came in the form of an apple dumpling carved into the shape of a beautiful rose. One of our younger family members made them, and I wanted to be polite and try one. I only ended up taking a few bites, but it still counts as eating gluten. Politeness will ruin a lot of your health goals.

Day 2 recap:
