Whole 30 Experience: Week One
Welcome.
Victoria here. It’s been an entire week of living the Whole30 lifestyle. Giving
myself a pat on the back as I write for getting this far in the journey. Now,
only 4 more weeks left ago. What I have learned through this process is to be P
R E P A R E D and to P L A N, plan, P L A N. So far, the Whole30 has been such
a blessing for me. Though it has only been one week, I feel myself
more energized and less sluggish. In my opinion, my skin feels more
“glowy” and it has definitely cleared up a “whole” lot more (get it? Eh?
“whole” = Whole30? Lol.) I have not found any fallouts or difficulties during
the first week. I thought my body would go into shock from not
eating a bowl of rice, a plate of creamy pasta or three scoops of butter pecan
ice cream drizzled in chocolate syrup and topped with whipped cream **drools**
for this first week. The prior weeks before starting this new
lifestyle my husband and I were living off of pizza, drive-thru food (DELICIOUS
chili cheese fries with extra cheese, I may say so myself) and candy galore!
But, I guess my mind and body were stronger than I believed them to be!
Things
I’m Learning:
- You can curve
cravings + rehabilitate bad eating habits
- My meals consist
of a large portion of protein, vegetables and then sprinkled fruits on the
side.
- Chu and I have
been such label reader nerds! You never know how much products contain
sugar until you read their labels!
- Coconut oil,
salt, pepper and garlic powder have been our go-to seasonings
- Meat is your
best friend
- Grapes are
expensive BUT so worth it!
- Potatoes are
game changers
- Always plan
ahead!
Until
next week’s Whole30 update,
Victoria
