It’s officially the final week of my Whole 30 Challenge.
I can’t believe how quickly this month has gone by!
I have truly enjoyed this challenge and process, and while I have not gotten all the way through It All Starts with Food, I am still enjoying everything I am learning from it and plan to continue to read the book all the way to the end.
While it has been a challenge to go out to dinner and drinks with friends and to throw a birthday dinner for my sister while sticking with the plan it wasn’t impossible. I was able to stick to the plan, even make foods for my friends and family that were Whole 30 that they enjoyed, AND I had a great time.
Last week, I mentioned that I needed to plan for AFTER the Whole 30. I did a bit of research this week and found that there is actually a Whole 30 guide to reintroduction. (They have a guide for everything!)
My plan is very much based on the plan they have outlined.
While keeping everything else Whole 30 compliant, I plan to introduce peanut butter, black beans, and possibly hummus this day. I will pay close attention to how my body feels, my mood, etc, and then the following two days I will go back to eating strict Whole 30.
This means I will get to have my beloved oats for breakfast, and some quinoa with dinner. I can’t wait!
I will get to try Greek yogurt, maybe some cheese…and I may have to use this as an excuse to get some ice cream (it’s been forever!)
This is actually the day of Brian’s Dental School Valentine’s Day Dance. I am so excited to go, and I want to enjoy a glass of wine or prosecco (or two!). I have gone without alcohol the entire Whole 30, which has been no big deal, but I do believe in moderation and I feel it is ok to enjoy treats such as alcohol for special occasions. I plan to go right back to Whole 30 for two days after this experiment as well.
Not sure what I will eat this day, maybe some whole wheat pita chips? But I will make sure it is something tasty!
As far as the questions I have received, I will be answering those later this week 🙂
Here is a look at how things went for me last week:

My recent breakfast go-to: veggie egg scramble (2 egg whites and one egg) with a side of fruit and nut butter.
Crabby breakfast muffins with fruit and cashew butter.
A delicious salad from Patachou with avocado, hardboiled egg, tomato, and apple over greens. SO good!
Salad with veggies, black olives, baked cod and a side of more veggies and an apple. (I had this several times this week.)
Leftovers 🙂
Salmon stuffed pepper and roasted veggies…so good!
Baked eggplant with homemade marinara and birthday appetizers.
There ya have it friends!

Oh no! I hope you aren’t coming down with a cold. Praying your body fights off any illness.
Ive just currently cut eggs from my diet for the next 3 months. So far I haven’t noticed too big of a change but we’ll see @ the end of the week.
Thank you, Jessie! I think the worst of it is past me. Just a runny nose now! Why are you eliminating eggs and why 3 months?
