Grumpy Mummy

I was told to expect mood swings, and today (day 5) they caught up with me.  I just feel grumpy and irritable and want to be left alone, but I have three kids who want attention and meals and activities.  I snapped at them today lots of times, and I feel bad about that.  Thankfully children are very forgiving and tomorrow I'll make an effort to keep my cool.  AND tomorrow I go to try my wedding dress on!!  I have had a few dramas with the bridal store which I won't go into now, but I am very excited to try on my dress.  I had it made one size smaller than my measurements last October and I know I've dropped a size since then so it should fit me.  My mum and best friend/bridesmaid are coming with me too - yay!!  I won't post a pic of course but it is so beautiful and I hope I feel beautiful in it.

My eating went well today, still sticking to my green smoothies plus whatever fruits and veges I feel like, which today was celery, tomatoes, plums (from our backyard) and watermellon, and now that I think about it that's about it!  My appetite has deminished significantly which is fantastic, and I am so surprised not to be craving sugar as it was such a big part of my diet.  I guess the plums and watermellon contain sugar so I have been getting my fix, just in a much healthier way than my usual sugary coffees and chocolate feasts.  I'm trying not to analyse my food too much because I don't want to sabotage myself with self doubt, but I am not sure if I am getting enough of all I need nutritionally.  I feel good, perhaps that should be my guide?
