Reintroduction on a short schedule

[Anne Stuck]

I'm on day 26 of my 2nd Whole 30 and it's going really well.  I have a resort vacation with all inclusive restaurant meals coming up 3 days after day 30 (so I didn't plan for a long enough reintroduction phase).  Should I cut the 30 days shorter and start reintroduction now?

This question feels like a hot sweet potato that no one wants to touch!  Assuming it is not a troll question, my thoughts...

• There is a reason it's called Whole 30 and not Whole 26.
• There is only one person that the poster is accountable to; themselves.
• Anything shorter than the full 30 days is not a loss.  Nobody gets cut from the team, nobody misses a trophy, nobody gets shamed for ending early.
• Each day of a W30 counts as something learned about ones own food relationships.
• If only one re-intro item can be tested before the vaca gorgefest, so be it, that's an opportunity to learn one more piece of the puzzle.
