The results are in!! I have to say I was skeptical on whether I would see the same results from this as I did the first time, and although they are slightly lower, it’s splitting hairs, and the good news is that I am losing inches in areas that are a health concern for me, so … Continue reading
This Whole30 has been a totally different experience than my previous one. First–I was already making food for my meals, so I didn’t miss a beat there. What I did do was try new recipes, and they were all winners. Korean Short Ribs, Chicken Meatballs in a homemade Marinara sauce, Almond Milk, Cauliflower Dirty Rice and … Continue reading
My coworker NaTesha brought some in during the first week of the Whole30 and since then I have wanted to try this recipe. The fates aligned this week and I was able to make this with Hayley. This recipe is relatively easy–just make sure you soak the almonds in advance. I soaked mine for a … Continue reading
Seven days left with the first part of my Whole30! As you may be aware I plan on doing this for 60 days, just so I can really develop a solid relationship with sugar. And by solid relationship, I mean a relationship where I control my thoughts and actions. That being said I am approaching … Continue reading
This week has been interesting. I have struggled with chocolate cravings, been to a birthday party filled with temptation and been crazy hungry, even after I have eaten.

Last week was a good week. I had a plan for food and it all went well! I noticed this week that I have stopped thinking about my Starbucks coffee, which is a good thing. By Friday though I was finding my cravings for chocolate coming back. ANNOYING. Especially considering this was the time when … Continue reading
Had an interesting time last night at Longhorn Steakhouse–a place my husband and I love and is whole30 compliant when I order the right things, with specific rules. Well! My specifications have made me a mini celebrity within this restaurant. When the waitress came over to take our order I went first and apologized to her … Continue reading
First off, if you haven’t seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier yet, go see it! I might have written a review about it located here. It was awesome. This weekend I think I got a taste of Tiger Blood. I woke up ready to take on the day both Saturday and Sunday. Here is what … Continue reading
This Whole30 the second time around is much better mentally. It’s not comparable from the first time. I have been making most of my meals the Whole30 way since my first go around, so now I am using the second time as an excuse to try new recipes. This week I went with my old … Continue reading
