I write stuff
Part #2 of my vacation coming in hot! Another Tom-ism reference for the title. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was for him to go from an Irish accent to Norwegian seamlessly. He was born with many gifts. We woke up early in Ireland and booked it to the airport to make our flight... Continue Reading →
Alright, so I’m done with the Whole 30….or more accurately the Whole 25. There were days I hated it and days I was loving it. I wanted to write out a review, though, of my experience with it because I’m finding that everyone I know, who did it, got something different out of it. I... Continue Reading →
In some of these posts, I have been tempted to really go in deep about my personal relationship with food. My whole reasoning for doing the Whole 30 was to get better insight on my relationship with food and perhaps establish better habits in the future. I also wanted to better understand what certain foods... Continue Reading →
I finished Day 21 yesterday. Easy Peazy. The challenge is becoming less and less hard. I decided that on Thursday this week I will read over everything in the book again, as far as what I should expect, and do an analysis on what actually happened with me. Everyone is different and I don’t think... Continue Reading →
So I’m happy that I made it to Day 15 but my day in general was not good. I was in a constant state of wanting to drink all the wine while eating my weights worth in cookies. I’m sure this is standard but at this point I don’t even care. Between work and everything... Continue Reading →
Well I finally hit the point that the book said I would hit. I’m sick of eggs. I don't want to see an egg. I don't even want to think about eggs. In the last 14 days, I’ve had eggs in every way you can think of. I’ve mixed eggs with veggies and smothered them... Continue Reading →
This is getting a lot easier. This weekend I was beyond productive. It helped I did have some distractions though. On Friday, my youngest brother came over so that we could talk about his school prospects now that he is out of the Navy. We went out to a Sushi place and it was clear... Continue Reading →
In the book, Day 10 and 11 are the toughest. You aren’t really noticing any new changes and the newness of the program itself is starting to wear off. I think that is why it is very important to do this when you literally have nothing else going on. It’s January in Chicago…..and I have... Continue Reading →
If you go to the section, in the book [Whole 30 Book], that goes over the day to day expectations, you will read about the dreams that you are likely to have around Day 7 and 8. At Day 1, this seemed odd to me. You supposedly have dreams about all of the food you can’t... Continue Reading →
I survived. I was so nervous about going into this weekend that I left my meal planner blank when it came to this week and weekend. Turns out, it was not only a lot easier than I had thought but I actually had a great time regardless. I think the time of year really helps... Continue Reading →
