The Clean Eating Mama

Hey all! How is everyone’s Tuesday going so far?

I wanted to share some pictures of J and his new little table. Look at how small it is! He loves it! He can color on it, eat at it but really he just likes to sit in the chairs at random times. I think it makes him feel like a big kid =)

The top actually comes off and underneath is a lego surface for the lego-blocks that came with the table. They are a little small for him but we let him play with them while we are watching.

Breakfast was a home made banana muffin and a few hours later a mini whole wheat bagel with almond butter. I guess it’s a “mini” kind of day today!

New York Bagel Boys makes these little mini bagels and they are awesome! The perfect snack size! I love bagels but it is just way too much bread for me at times.

Lunch was a bowl packed with salad goodies – Organic baby spinach, white beans, avocado, sun dried tomatoes, cilantro, basil, red onion, salt and pepper and a splash of EVOO.

Dessert was a hot cup of decaf coffee with a few home made chocolate chip cookies.

Question: I have been helping my old company out the past few days with some marketing projects. It’s actually been wonderful getting out of the house, conversing with adults, wearing actual clothes vs. yoga pants and seeing all of my old co-workers. I haven’t seen them for about a year so it’s been great to catch up again.

I have lost quite a bit of weight since I had Jordan and since I have seen everyone. A lot of them have complemented me on my appearance saying that I am thin and look great.

I have never been one to fish for compliments nor do I like to draw attention to myself. I smile and say Thank You but I can’t help but to feel a bit uncomfortable and shy about it. And I am so used to my weight and looks that I forget how much I really have changed over the past year.

How do you handle these types of situations?
