DAILY SUMMARY

Day 28-30: 28 is as good as 30... right?! So at this stage of the game its really easy to say thats enough-- but honestly we were sooo  busy and guess what!? I GOT SICK! Ahhh yep, a really bad cold took me down so I was in bed for a couple days and not able to smell or taste a darn thing!

I guess in retrospect this was a good thing.  Except that I wasn't really prepared for Day 30 like I thought I would be.  I kind of at this point have been in autopilot mode.  So I had more anxiety about what do do about the "after" period than expected.

Days 29 & 30: Holy Moly, its almost over!! To top it off it was the Superbowl! Yep- we were SO close to the finish line and here we are having a Mini Supbowl party!  We fixed up some Whole 30 Approved Chicken Wings and Ranch Dressing

 Again, we were so busy and our program ended on a Tuesday- so we were in the grind of the week.  Kids, work, pets.... we didn't know what to do except keep going on Whlole 30!

Ron had some regular sugar in his coffee- I had a packet of Stevia in mine.  A few chocolate chips.  But really we were too busy with the week to go stuff ourselves with a burger.  Besides!! Whole 30 dinners are GOOOD!! We never felt deprived at dinner time so we were itching to "cheat"

My Treat

I still look forward to my Shakeology as one of my meals per day but I make sure to make it more meal like by adding Spinach, Almond Butter, Unsweetened Coconut, Cacao Nibs and Unsweetened Almond Milk. I look forward to it after my workouts.

I used it as one of my meals per day.  I occasionally used RX Bar's and my favorite was Chocolate Sea Salt.  But I tried to use fruit and nuts if I needed a second snack rather than a bar.  I never thought RX Bar's were that fantastic until I cut all the sugar out.

WORKOUTS

21 Day Fix going strong, I'll be transitioning over to 21 Day Fix Extreme next.  My energy is GREAT. I also use Energize pre-workout but I do notice I feel stronger and I'm using heavier weights.

This isn't a reduced calorie plan so I'm want to make my workouts count!

I didn't let up on my workouts and my results show!! My core leaned out and I have real amazing definition!! So that was a total, and unexpected WIN!

REAL TALK 4 THE LADIES

So for the ladies- another reason for the way this program is structured is for hormonal response.  Giving your body a break between meals etc..  I will tell you that I had my "lady time" this past week and it took me by total surprise.  Don't get me wrong, I was ANGRY, but I had none of the physical reactions I normally would.  No debilitating crams, no insane cravings, no headache! NOTHING.  That is NEW and fantastic.  That alone will keep me a Whole 30 believer!!

WEEK 4 SUMMARY

We took our pictures and measurements and I CAN NOT wait to share our results!! Eeeeek!!!

I still feel amazing and I sleep like I'm in a coma every night.  Honestly this 30 days FLEW, and once I got some religion with the "rules" we made it work.  I literally did NOT cheat in 30 days.  I didn't have Sugar either which is a HUGE accomplishment for me!

I have totally enjoyed being culinary McGuyver some nights!! "What can we make with a sweet potato and this ground beef??" and BOOM a masterpiece! Its really been fun and we have been creative!!
