I am excited to commit 100% to the Whole30 eating plan starting today, 3/6. It’s important to note this is not a diet. Rather an opportunity to cleanse your body of processed foods, chemicals, etc. My diet for years was 2 strawberry frosted pop tarts in the AM, then blue box Mac & Cheese for lunch.  Along with any other packaged foods and drinks. I’ve gotten better by eating oatmeal for breakfast and fresher foods, but I’ve always snuck in junk food for snacks, etc. I’ve been loosely following Whole30 for a few weeks (like still drinking wine when alcohol is to be avoided), but wanted to wait until after our NYC trip to fully commit. I have to avoid packaged/processed food, sugar, dairy, bread, beans, etc. I’m excited about cleansing my body, restarting my metabolism and avoiding chemicals. I’m thankful I can eat potatoes and guacamole 🙂 

My last day will be Monday, 4/4, so here goes! I wonder what foods I will be able to re-introduce and tolerate after these 30 days. I will miss bread, rice, wine & oatmeal the most. I’ve already adjusted to black coffee, but do miss the cream & Truvia I’d put in it that I would crave every morning – I don’t crave it anymore! That was my body just wanting that sugar.

I love that Kessler enjoys sharing healthy food with me 🙂
