So I recently signed up to take on a challenge at my gym and I'm still going strong!
Some people eat Whole 30 on a daily basis, but it's definitely just a 30 day challenge for me!
Whole 30 is similar to "Paleo" but in my opinion requires more dedication.
For 30 days, I am not consuming a lot of things that my mind usually craves, but instead I am consuming things my body enjoys and appreciates.
Here are a few big things I cannot eat on Whole 30:
-Dairy: cheese (yes, cheese), milk (I can have canned coconut milk though!), etc.
-Grains: rice, breads, pasta, etc, any flours
-Legumes: beans, peas, peanuts
Those are just the few big things that I can't eat right now, but here's a long list of things I can consume:
Below are pictures of some of the lunches, dinners, and some snacks I've been eating this past week! Tomorrow will be Day 9 of 30! It's insane how great I already feel! Yes, it's tough at times... Like when I go out to eat with friends, but there are lots of alternatives to eat. Or when I'm having cravings... Like, bad. But I know leafy greens will fix that quickly! Also, it helps to do this with someone else. Thankfully, my husband and I are doing it together (and our brother in law is too!).
I'm definitely staying strong and sticking to it! I have gained so much energy, a positive attitude, and a stronger willpower thus far. It's definitely worth trying for 30 days, but I can't wait to enjoy one of my New Years resolutions of eating clean soon after! :)
I hope that you would be willing to give it a try! I promise it will change you in a positive way!
XOXO,
Callie
