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 think everything went pretty smoothly today. I feel like each meal was really satisfying and held me over until the next one. Quick snack after yoga and before making dinner kept me settled.

Mood Started out pretty rough but not something that would drive to food. Just moody. The workout helped quite a bit and yoga in the afternoon is always the way to go.

Sleep 7.5 – I wonder what 8 would feel like…

Exercise Chest and arms felt like just what I needed. Yoga in the afternoon – love.
