Day 7: My Whole-30 Journal

The secret to doing the Whole30 is positivity, creativity, and being prepared.  It’s easy to be bummed about the Whole30 if you are constantly focusing on everything you gave up.

Day 6: My Whole 30 Journal 

Cravings…what cravings? Suddenly my strong desires to eat junk have left. Apparently I can now be around junk food like ice cream cones and Doritos, and easily resist. So that’s a big “yay!” for me.

Day 2: My Whole 30 Journal

Snacking. It’s one of my favorite things to do. And with the Whole 30 challenge, snacking is a bit trickier than usual. Luckily there’s a cool tool called Pinterest! Thanks to Pinterest, I’ve found a lot of great ideas. I just ate a Lemon Larabar and am feeling satisfied. Last night while prepping dinner I… Continue reading Day 2: My Whole 30 Journal

Taking on the Whole 30 Challenge

I have committed to 30 days of the Whole 30. You may be thinking. “What the heck is the Whole 30?” It’s an “original nutritional program designed to change your life in 30 days. Think of it as a short-term nutritional reset, designed to help you put an end to unhealthy cravings and habits, restore… Continue reading Taking on the Whole 30 Challenge
