StaceFaceAK Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well, I made it all the way to day 25 and then...I didn't read a menu carefully enough. Here's what happened: I met my s.o. at a favorite Mexican restaurant after work; we decided it was already late and didn't feel like cooking. I looked up the menu and found something that would be compliant: the fajita burrito, minus the burrito part and no rice or beans. We got there, I ordered. The guy that took my order understood perfectly: no tortilla, just steak and veggies all sauteed together and a side of guac. YES! Perfect. Then the food came out, and it was cooooooooooovered in melted shredded cheese. I checked the menu again and there it was, in the description, cheese. I just couldn't bring myself to send it back or ask for something else after they had already been so accommodating with everything I asked for. So, sadly, my Whole30 "ends" on Day 25. I'm pretty bummed. It's a learning experience for sure, and eating out will always run the risk of not being compliant. I'm a little unsure if I should continue to be 100% compliant the next 5 days or what. I'm leaning toward yes, although it would be nice to enjoy a beer while I'm out this weekend... I DO plan on doing another Whole 30 in a few weeks to prepare me for my first triathlon, so I'm not giving up on all this. I love the way I feel when I'm compliant, but I don't feel it's fair to ignore what happened and claim I completed a Whole30. Sigh. Anyway, I felt like I needed a confession, and to vent a little, and to share my frustration with coming so far and falling short. Till next time.

LatinaCurves Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Had you immediately gotten back on track on Day 26 would that have been okay? I begin my journey on April 1st. I know sometimes these things happen. But I'm curious to know if one meal like this breaks the Whole 30 days? Hey great job with 25 days by the way!!

To answer your question, yes, eating dairy is one of those things that unfortunately hits the reset button on a Whole30. @StaceFaceAK: it sounds like the plan you have to proceed is great. You did a Whole25 - that's nothing to sneeze at. Just think of how well-prepared you are to do a Whole30 in a few weeks. And next time, send the food back. While it said cheese on the menu, you requested only steak, veggies and guac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurobnat Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think 25 days is great! Good luck your next one and your upcoming triathlon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
