Day 28…I’m 4 weeks into my Whole30 programme and I still can’t believe I’m still here writing about it. Ok, so I had a bit of a slip up last week<\/a>\u00a0but I got back on track straight away and thankfully this week has been easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first started reading about Whole30 and was tossing up whether or not to give it a go, 30 days seemed like such a long time but honestly the weeks have flown by and no one is more shocked than me that I’m now on the home stretch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What I’ve Been Eating on Whole30 This Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Food wise I’ve tried some new recipes this week but I’ve also been relying on smoothies a bit too much for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t see anything wrong with a smoothie brekkie a couple of times a week but it was beginning to turn into a daily habit so I’ve gone back to my trusty egg breakfasts again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also ditched the Nakd bars this week. Although they are a fantastic snack (made with only cold pressed fruit, nuts and oats in some flavours) I was relying on them too much to get me through chocolate cravings or sometimes even using them as a substitute for meals when I was in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working hard to break my snacking habit and to try to control my cravings and I felt that I was using these bars as a bit of a crutch. So they had to go. For now at least!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Whole30 Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing I was apprehensive about when starting Whole30 was that others would think I was being silly! Embarking on another fad diet or jumping on some kind of anti-grain and dairy bandwagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But family and friends have been nothing but supportive. Some have been asking for tips and recipes and most surprising of all; two friends have already started their own Whole30 as a result!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew my biscuits-for-breakfast husband would never join me in a month long elimination of so many of his favourite foods. But he has really impressed me this week but giving up all chocolate, crisps, desserts and any other junk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So overall it’s been a good week. I’ve avoided the wine and chocolate oats disaster of last week and am back in my stride. Bring on Day 30!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
