I'm taking this bull by the horns. I'm not letting the abyss suck me in. So today I vowed to do good, healthy things for myself.
For breakfast, I fixed some scrambled eggs topped with the amazing guacamole my husband made last night:

Then I went on a one-hour walk with my friend Pilar. There's nothing like a little cardio in 100 degree heat...laughing and talking all the way...to get your head back on straight.
And for lunch? How about this amazing array? The fruit salad that my husband made (are you seeing a food preparation theme here) with some yummy Formaggio mozzarella from Costco...also purchased by my husband on one of his Costco runs.
I didn't beat myself up for eschewing the apples (sorry honey, they just don't meld with the fruit salad) and picking out the strawberries to eat first (they are so yummy!)
I took a guilt-free nap. Played gin with my son. And went to Pilar's house for some chicken chili (the leftover guacamole was my contribution). Now I am home in bed and feeling like the abyss has been held off for the time being.

Sometimes that's all you can do.
