![]() My next test came when I attended a Packers game. We felt good and ready to take on our day. The BEST part, the next morning after the party, we woke up feeling great! Because we didn’t indulge, we didn’t feel hungover or felt bloated from too much food. We drove home that night feeling a little sad we couldn’t completely enjoy everything but so thankful we passed the test. Or if they did, they didn’t say anything to us. But we have the BEST friends and no one even seemed to notice. We wanted so badly to indulge! But we stayed strong! We also thought maybe others would think we were weird for not taking part. ![]() When we got there, it felt like the yummy food and drinks were teasing us. I made a Whole30 compliant snack, brought my sparkling water, and was ready to go. Our first BIG test to see if we could stick to our program. That weekend, we attended a party at our friend’s house. By the end, I was SO proud that I powered through. Can’t a girl just get a quick snack?! I remember walking into Fresh Thyme and immediately frowned, thinking, “Everything in here I have to make.” But I bought the food, came home, turned on some jams, and started meal prepping. I was already bored with my food and annoyed that I had to make it all. It’s amazing how accurate it is!Īfter the first week, that excited feeling had worn off. Thank goodness! Throughout the process we went back to the timeline to see if what we were feeling was normal. Thankfully, we followed the Whole30 timeline so we knew this was completely normal. But then around Day 4-5, our hangover kicked in. We were proud of ourselves for committing to this program. ![]() I truly believe having a plan in place helped up accomplish this goal!įor the first few days, we felt pretty good. Usually on Tuesdays, Matt would pick up any additional meat or veggies we needed special for a weeknight meal. Then I would prep all our meals that morning. On Fridays, I would head to Fresh Thyme after Pure Barre and pick up everything we needed for the week. Our lives get so busy that we need to have food ready. I knew that if we didn’t plan every week, we would have issues. There are SO many amazing resources out there and Pinterest was definitely my friend during this time. I also did a ton of research on food, meal ideas, and grocery store shopping list. But we were definitely sad to be giving up peanut butter and ice cream the most. We didn’t want our detox to be as severe. We didn’t stuff our faces before Day One either. We prepped out a meal plan for the week and made sure the foods we were supposed to avoid were either out of the house or stashed FAR away. Matt told me he would join me too on this adventure! I mean how hard can 30 days be?! HARD! But, on Saturday we completed this journey (yes, ALL 30 DAYS) and I’m excited to share my experience. It sounded challenging but the benefits made me want to try it. Whole30 emphasizes whole foods and eliminates sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes, soy, and dairy. After looking at different options, I thought Whole30 would be the best one for me. When I started my 30 Before 30 project, one of the items I wanted to cross off was to try an alternative diet than the one I’m used to.
