Whole30 – Day 18 & 19

Thursday Day 18 After waking up last night over and over again with the all-too-familiar burning and discomfort I knew I’d need to get in to see a Doctor ASAP. I called as soon as I woke up and got an appointment at 9am. Sure enough after they ran the tests (honestly, is there anything…

Whole30 – Day 16 & 17

Tuesday – Day 16 For breakfast I ate a third of a bottle of Naked juice. I also had a few almonds. I was in a rush to get to an eye doctor appointment. I picked out new glasses, so fun! I ate lunch out with my Mom. I had a burger with an egg…

Whole30 – Days 14 & 15

Sunday – Day 14 For breakfast I scrambled two eggs with leftover bacon crumbles. I could only eat about half of it. I also had about 1/3 of a bottle of a Blue Machine Naked drink. I was feeling cranky about lunch. My in-laws were going out to lunch after church to my favorite Mexican…

Whole30 – Day 6 & Day 7

I am blogging today with much higher spirits than last time. I pushed through the hardest of my Whole30 and I’m still going strong. Day 6 I woke up late so I didn’t have time to cook breakfast before going to church. I drank a few gulps of 100% grape juice and had a few…

Whole30 – Day 2

Day 2 is complete! I had a rather sluggish morning, but after lunch I felt great the rest of the day. (Aside from a headache that came on around 4, I took Excedrin at 6:30 and it was gone by 7) I’m so glad I had a better day today, yesterday was TOUGH. I felt…

Day 1: Harder than Anticipated

So my day isn’t actually even over yet. It’s in the middle of the afternoon. But I can’t deny that this Whole30 thing is going to be a little harder than anticipated. Despite my weeks of obsessive planning, I already feel like I’m starving myself. We was out of town the past week and so…

I’ve decided to do a Whole30

My friend did her first whole30 back in April 2015. I have to admit. I joined others in playful teasing. Telling her she was on a “cleanse” like a celebrity. Though I admired her determination. She ordered unbreaded and boiled calamari at Olive Garden because it was one of the only compliant foods. Fast forward…

Here It Goes

My husband suffers from depression and anxiety. My sister was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 15 years ago. My Grandma was…
