I’m doing a Whole 30 for a couple of reasons: 1) I want to feel great from the inside out, 2) Putting some stricter guidelines around my food choices keeps me from getting distracted by things that might otherwise tempt me, and 3) Sometimes it takes a while to reap the benefits of a change and having a timeline provides the structure and encouragement I need when I begin to feel impatient.

I plan to share what I eat each day to help me accurately judge what my body needs and to, hopefully, provide a little inspiration or planning assistance if you’re trying to figure out your day as well. If you have questions about anything, please leave me a comment.

Everyone is different, so I hope you don’t judge me too harshly by what I eat. And maybe you’ll see something that resonates with you and, in that case, excellent! If not, I’ll be posting different recipes on the blog too, so don’t despair!

Here’s to the journey!

Food I was so busy today it felt like all of my meals were rushed. I sat down for them (except the post-wo), but barely. I definitely prefer it when I can sit and enjoy what I’m eating. Being present really helps me keep it all together.

Mood Thank goodness for steady energy! Strong, confident mood today. I like it.

Sleep 7.5 hours. Pretty steady now.

Exercise Tough workout today, particularly since my knee is bothering me. I modified what I needed to and got 40 minutes of row-push ups-wall balls-run done!
