Day 4 - and the start of the long Labor Day weekend. These are the times I have the most difficulty staying compliant. Since I am off work for two and a half days there is no structure, no regular routine to adhere to. I plan on doing some batch cooking, putting pre-made meals into the freezer. What is it they say about "The best laid plans..."? A few things I'm going to try are https://meljoulwan.com/2018/10/31/sweet-spicy-shrimp-stir-fry/ a sheet pan of roasted brussels sprouts and potatoes https://whole30.com/whole30-salsa-chicken-stew/ and a breakfast casserole of e -

I can not find ANY compliant almond milk in my area so I try to find the time to make my own. It's one of those stupid-easy recipes anyone like me can do. Just 2 ingredients and time. https://www.livingchirpy.com/easy-unsweetened-almond-milk/#wprm-recipe-container-6884 I find that if you take the time to pinch off the skin after the soaking and before the blending the milk will be creamier and whiter. -

Day 1 is finally underway. How is everyone feeling this morning? I didn't sleep worth a darn last night. Better sleep is the number 1 thing I am looking to get out of this Whole30. If I can sleep at night I know my day will be better. -

I am hoping to see an improvement in my mental health as well. Cutting out the sugar is great for the inflammation in my knees, and I know it helps me to sleep better. But I want to get off the anti-depressant med. I only have one, and I can get by taking half a pill every other day, but it still has the annoying side effect of jitters. I guess having the jitters all day is better than laying awake all night being afraid that terrorists are going to empty my bank accounts.

Just a reminder...don't forget to drink plenty of water. Some recommend six 8 ounce glasses per day, some recommend half your body weight in ounces. -

We were fortunate the storm went further east. We have some dark clouds but we're not expecting more than a drizzle of rain later today. I've made my meal plan for the next week. One of my favorites to make for lunch to take to work is an easy and quick to make one pan meal. It's an egg roll bowl, using coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce and adding a drizzle of Sunshine Sauce. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/257429/egg-roll-bowl/ - The Whole30, The 30-Day Guide to Total Health, pg 320 How 'bout y'all? -

I'm 57 years old. Gotten so out of shape that I get breathless just putting on my socks and shoes. I have an exercise bike that I plan to start using again. I don't want to go back to the circuit at the gym until this latest COVID variant passes. I really miss the workouts, but both my husband and my mother have had minor strokes and I can't afford to take the chance. I am planning on a Sept. 1 start but it may be a few days later. I'm in north Louisiana and there is the possibility of some severe storms over the next few days, depending on the direction of hurricane Ida once it mak -
No one can tell you when to start but yourself. There will be a large group starting on Sept. 1. The more the merrier. Until then you can start with simple things like not eating the bag of marshmellows just because it is there. Stop buying the things you know are bad for you when you go to the grocery store (chips, cookies etc.). Start reading the ingredient labels on the stuff in your pantry and fridge, a magnifying glass will help tremendously. Start drinking more water. Lots and lots of water. A September start will give you enough time to find some of the swaps you'll need from th

Today is my companion's birthday, I'll be gearing up for a Monday start as well. Shopping today, prepping tomorrow. I'll be making a cauliflower soup, fried tuna patties, an egg roll bowl and a lemon-tahini sauce. I'll be making enough to interchange between breakfast and lunch for the next week. The hardest part of cooking dinner is the veggie prep work so I'll try to get a head start on that tomorrow as well. https://meljoulwan.com/2012/10/24/golden-cauliflower-soup/ http://allrecipes.com/recipe/257429/egg-roll-bowl/ (coconut aminos instead of soy sauce).

I feel the same way at 56. May your will power be stronger than anything you crave.
