Whole 30

We started Whole 30  last week. Whole 30 is a more restrictive paleo- mostly meat and vegetables. some fruit and nuts. no dairy. James did it in the fall and felt and looked great. We thought after the holidays would be a great time to kick-start our healthy eating.  We're about a week into this. I wanted to share some of the shortcuts we've taken. Well, not exactly short-cuts but getting some things made at night so we're not trying to make everything from scratch right before a meal.

Here are some of the most helpful:

One night each week we've made egg muffins and baked egg cups, hardboiled eggs, and bacon. 

Another night we made Lara bars and salad in a jar.
Another night James made chicken patties and shredded lots of sweet potatoes for this yummy breakfast staple 

What I've missed the most so far is popcorn for our Friday night movie night. I missed pizza too but this super shrimp salad made me not mind.

The first few days were pretty rough- headaches, just yucky feeling- but now I feel good. I still get hungry during the day but not so many highs and lows. I'm not sure how much of this we'll continue afterwards but I'm definitely glad we've done it. still hoping to lose some weight too!
