Whole 30 — Days 25, 26, 27 and 28
We are in the HOMESTRETCH, people! Closing in on the finish line and I’m excited to successfully finish a Whole 30 for the first time. I’ve successfully survived another week of new student lunches, welcome receptions, etc. without so much as a glance at the sweets and savories I would have loaded a plate with…

Whole 30 — Day 24
Today started with the inaugural use of the Vitamix, aka my new boyfriend. I had a little bit of everything to put in the container–frozen spinach, frozen peach slices, ginger, a beet, a whole clementine, a handful of red grapes and some ice. It was more filling than I imagined it would be and it…

Whole 30 — Day 23
I learn so much from reading other websites and blogs featuring Whole 30 ideas. I’m especially grateful for people who stop by my blog and leave comments full of good links and ideas. Sassyandpaleoish saw my Chinese food plight and shared a link for a chicken and vegetable lo mein dish from Primal Palate. I had…

Whole 30 — Days 18 thru 22
I’m sure you may have suspected that I fell into a big bathtub full of candy a la Khloe Kardashian-Odom. But, nope. I’m still here chugging away, perfecting my Paleo meatball recipe, enjoying my SodaStream fizzy water, learning to appreciate a banana as a snack, and resetting all my unhealthy thought patterns. And, because I…

Whole 30 — Day 16 & 17
Day 16 in the books and I tried a new recipe. It was delicious and easy, plus it left me with a chicken breast all ready for enjoying another day. When Stupid Easy Paleo entitled this recipe with the word “easy” in it, I thought–challenge accepted! I wanted to know if it were, in fact,…

Whole 30 — Day 15
It’s the half-way point of this Whole 30 and I’m feeling pretty motivated. I was able to stay on track at work and it was a nice, quiet day because today is some holiday on our campus. Felt pretty snazzy all day today and although the smell of the chocolate cake layers my daughter smelled…

Whole 30 — Day 12, 13, and 14
If you had a betting pool going on whether I dropped out, I hope you bet ON me rather than AGAINST me. I’m still here, baby! Just been very busy running kids to and fro and have been hitting the hay before I’ve had time to blog. My oldest started high school with a freshman-only…

Whole 30 — Day 12
Today was one of the only days so far where I have felt I properly planned for an entire day of Whole 30 loveliness. I remembered to take the baked chicken to school for lunch. I had a side order of Fuji apple with it. For dinner, I baked a salmon filet in the oven…

Whole 30 — Day 11
Another rocky start to the day. Somehow, the morning ran from me and I found myself having only consumed an apple and a cup of coffee when it was time to leave for my daughter’s high school orientation event. Ugh. And, yes, ice cream and pink lemonade were served. Funnily enough, I didn’t really want…

Whole 30 — Day 10
It appears the answer to “So, exactly when will I be hungry for something?” is TODAY. I enjoyed two eggs and some grapes for breakfast. I couldn’t quite bring myself to open an avocado. Without my oldest here to eat the other half, I’d feel obligated to eat more than a bit and that usually…
