I've been busy and feel badly that I haven't been sharing all my delicious meal ideas (with my zero followers). But on the bright side, day 30 is fast approaching and I'm thinking about what life will be like from day 31 and on. I saw a blog on Whole9's site that talked about rewarding yourself with kitchen utensils instead of food. After feeling great for thirty days, why ruin all of that by reinforcing the negative relationship and running out to have ice cream? So I agree and decided I get a julienne slicer or an avocado saver. But ultimately I decided to set reasonable goals for how I am to balance my diet and feel good about myself and my choices. Wine once a week, no rice or corn chips. No processed food at all. Cheese as a delicacy and sugar rarely. I'd like to maintain the Paleo lifestyle and still be able to say yes only sometimes. I'll keep posting my successes or failures as I go.

Congratulations goes to me. I made it to day 8 and I couldn't care less. I'm miserable and it has nothing to do with my diet. The exclusion of nuts has me feeling less bloated than my last Whole30. I think the fact I started already gluten free means I didn't have any real withdrawals to deal with. I didn't actually need to kill all the things like last time. The thing I'm most shocked about is my general lack of sugar cravings. Not sure what's going on, but this is so far pretty fantastic and not hard at all. To anyone who reads this, keep it up, it's worth it.

Snack time! Apples with avocado means I don't get hungry in the next hour. Always have protein or fat with your fruit to stay satiated longer :) #whole30snacks

This is me on a Whole30 when my sugar dragon shows up. How do I deal with intense sugar cravings? I eat a date. Just one. They are so sweet, they calm me right down and help me focus on what's important (which happens to not be ice cream). According to the rules, they are whole30 approved; but be careful to only eat in moderation or you may prolong the sugar cravings throughout the 30 days.

Prep your food for the week. Whether it's cutting up veggies for salads, omelettes or dinner, make sure your food is accessible. Take one day a week and spend a few hours cutting, marinating and cooking. You don't want to be stuck running late one morning needing to make breakfast, lunch and a snack for the day.
