Whole 30: Week 1 Complete!

Well I have officially stuck to a nutrition plan stricter than I have ever stuck to anything food related ever.  I think there are a few reason's for this...1. I have a partner in crime (Tara) I don't want to let down! 2. I am so curious to see how my body truly responds to 30 days of whole nutritious food..no cheating! and 3. It's really not too big of a change from our day to day eating habits:)  With that being said..I realize that I miss 2 things..popcorn and beer!  The popcorn thing comes when I am watching netflix and the beer thing comes when I am watching football..so maybe I should just not watch TV and my problems would be solved. Hmm...nah.  Anywho when I began this I thought maybe it would be chocolate but so far I haven't craved it at all..probably because I overdosed over the holidays.. seriously! Tara and I both have done so well and I am super proud of us! I am interested to see if my motivation and dedication continues so easily.  I already talked about my Whole 30 day 1 in my previous post so here is how the rest of the week went...

I find breakfast and dinner to be the easiest to plan.  Breakfast is pretty much a combo or eggs, bacon and fruit.  Dinner is fun because I love to cook!  Lunch gets tough to be creative when I am eating at work but I found a combo that worked this past week so hopefully that will continue!  I think the biggest challenge is mixing it up to make it not boring..in the meantime Johnny has been happy with everything I have made so far! I am not a salad fan 95% of the time so getting veggies in other ways is always a goal of mine and this plan really makes me want to eat as many nutrients as possible! Hopefully I can get around to sharing recipes with you soon! Cheers (no beer but juice cheers of course) to the beginning of Whole 30 week 2!

Happy eating!
