Whole30 - Week 1 Recap

Tuesday, November 25, 2014

Today I suck less at sticking to my guns!

Woohoo! I made it through 7 days of the Whole30 program. I didn't add too many o's to that woohoo, because it really wasn't hard. In fact, it was quite enjoyable. To be fair, I have been eating paleo/gluten-free for the past year. I think that really helps with the program. Whole30 is like a few steps further than eating paleo. Here are a few take aways from this week!


  • I cannot eat eggs in the morning. Nope, hate it! Makes me gag. Bulletproof coffee with some Ghee and MCT oil for me.
  • My favorite thing about Whole30 is that I'm cooking more! I really love trying out new recipes and you HAVE to cook/prepare your meals on this program. I'm enjoying that part of the program immensely.
  • Day 4 was the worst by far. I wanted to kill everyone and I REALLY wanted an Iced Blended Mocha from the Coffee Bean. That is my one addiction. Chocolate and wine were easy. But, I miss my aspartame filled mochas. Oh well, they gotta go--forever.
  • So far so good. I'm eager to see what the next week holds. I'm a little worried about the holidays. Not because of the food, I know I'll want a glass of wine. Sparkling water for me, please!
  • Lastly, SIGN UP for their newsletter! It is extremely helpful, because it holds you accountable everyday and gives you really great advice and support. Just look at what they sent me today :)
That's it for now. I'll keep you posted on my progress and let you know what my measurements are after the 30 days! I have a feeling this will turn into a Whole328.

Update to Paleo Pancakes!

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

Today I suck less and making a healthy breakfast!

I'm updating my Paleo Pancake recipe and it's so freaking good. I'm starting my first day on the Whole30 program. Technically, you aren't supposed to re-create your favorite meals. But, I have a very hard time with savory meals in the morning. I get sick of eggs so fast and my body craves something sweet! So, I'm breaking the rules a little already :(

Either way, you need to make these pancakes! They are amazing. Here is the updated ingredient list.
  • 2 Bananas
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 scoop of Almond Butter (need addition and it's wonderful!)
  • Blueberries for "syrup"
  • Sprinkle of Cinnamon
  • Coconut Oil for the pan
There you have it! Run to the kitchen to make these now.

I'm going to try to eat all whole foods on this program. But, I'll need this in my back pocket for those days that I NEED something more than eggs!
Enjoy!
