Yay me, rest of family had crepes with lemon and sugar and maple syrup for breaky and I didn't! I even had to put the stuff on my son's crepes and be careful not to lick the maple syrup off my fingers after rolling the crepe!

And Wow, we cooked good healthy food all 3 nights of the weekend! We would normally ALWAYS have takeaway one night and watch a family movie. Well, we still watched the movie while eating a roast dinner!

Today I drove my 82 year old mother to Canberra to say goodbye to her 84 year old sister who was virtually unconscious after a terrible 2 years being close to a vegetable and utterly dependent on her daughter. She had been a vibrant and fun loving aunt to me and the last 2 years have been tragic and sad to see. She has been living with my cousin.

I feel great surviving the weekend with my Whole30 in tact. I drank lots of black coffee. When they had melting moments and chocolate brownies for afternoon tea I had watermelon and strawberries and I really savoured them. I told them I was doing a 30 day no sugar thing to slay my sugar dragon but didn't go into the rest of it - it just wasn't the time!

I got around the dinner problem by offering to bring my favourite marinated chicken thighs from my organic shop (compliant) and just ate the salad with it. I did miss having wine but my cousin doesn't drink so I had company. Dessert was same as afternoon tea and I had another black coffee! Wouldn't normally at that time of night but I felt I needed strength from something.

We stayed in a hotel to make it easier for my cousin and I resisted the minibar chocolates and chips which I felt like devouring. I did have a packet of nuts. Breakfast next morning in the hotel so again I could be compliant.

B. 2 hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, fruit

L. Beef pie without the pastry (not sure of ingredients but I'm leaving it at that!), salad

Whew, thank god I'm home now!

You are half way through Kate! Well done.

I am so sorry about your Aunt. It must be very difficult to see her like that, and to see your mum upset.

I think you showed iron-will over the weekend, particularly when feeling emotionally vulnerable.

How are you feeling physically? Do you feel the whole 30 is making any difference?
