Go-To Foods, 21-30
Here we go with 10 more... This time, I'm going to start with fruits for when you need some sweet and then a few snacks, bars, and a protein. It's going to get harder and harder to have themes as I do this. But, in looking at fruits, I realize there are many varieties that … Continue reading Go-To Foods, 21-30
Go-To Foods, 11-20
For my second post, I am going to start with my favorite vegetables and then do some meats and a snack. 11. Asparagus You can see my thoughts on this, in my previous blog Foods I Love – Asparagus. You can sauté these in a skillet, or broil them in the oven, both using an appropriate … Continue reading Go-To Foods, 11-20

Whole30 #2 – Completed “Our Way”
Yesterday was Day 30 of my 2nd Whole30; it went mostly well. As I mentioned before, I didn't have many problems with cravings or struggling to follow the plan. I did break one rule of the plan on one night, as I will describe below, but that ended up getting its retaliation on me, so … Continue reading Whole30 #2 – Completed “Our Way”
Whole30 #2, Day 23
This Whole30 has been great! I definitely feel more energized, especially during workouts and while I am not sleeping great, I am sleeping well enough to get by. My back does still hurt (especially after sitting down for very long periods of time), but it doesn't seem as bad as before. The most exciting part is my … Continue reading Whole30 #2, Day 23
Whole30 #2 (take 2), Day 10
My husband and I, along with two friends, embarked on another Whole30 starting on Monday, July 24. I didn't take any weights or measurements, as I can safely say that knowing where I was starting wouldn't have been very motivating. I know how poorly some of my clothing started to feel, so we can go … Continue reading Whole30 #2 (take 2), Day 10
Baby Steps
My three week business trip provided many opportunities for poor nutrition. Honestly, I am glad that I decided to stop the Whole30 prior to going, as it would have definitely affected the team atmosphere of the class. I wasn't entirely bad - I purposely chose not to contribute to the "snack fund" so I wouldn't … Continue reading Baby Steps
Break Time (again…)
Five days seemed to be the limit for my latest Whole30 trend. Everything was going well, but Friday evening that all changed in the blink of an eye. My husband and I were in the grocery buying the food for a party we were hosting the next day, and out of the blue he tells … Continue reading Break Time (again…)
Whole30 #2, Day 5
I got a new sleep tracker that I used for the first time last night and I am impressed so far. I was wanting a new sleep tracker since my Jawbone UP4 is about to break and it doesn't look like Jawbone, as a company, is going to be around much longer, if they even still exist now. … Continue reading Whole30 #2, Day 5
