I would love to hear some of your takeaways, wins. What will you continue, what are you re-introducing...
This is a good read on reintroduction.

Ran a hard 10K trail race this morning. Now I feel like I earned the right to eat everything in sight! Lol But I will stay on track and go for a burger without the bun, the sauce or anythi g really fun because I can see the finish line. We are so close guys!
Last weekend. Stay strong.

Okay team! Time to stay strong. 25 days may seem long enough to you, one more weekend may seem like a real drag. But let's see this thing through and finish strong and stay on track. What's 6 more days, we've already went 24.

Happy Monday!
We are starting week 4 by now you got the hang of it, not strurggling with what to eat, the cravings should be down and we are sailing through the home stretch! .... Or are we? You guys have been very quiet. Makes my job easy I have no one to support, but also boring and lonely... I hope despite the very infrequent posting everyone is still going strong.
Although like I said in the beginning not posting is usually a red flag for not adhering to the program 100% and with the Whole30 you get what you put in. A half-hearted effort will produce half-hearted results.
Stay strong. Share with the group. Support one another. Eat Clean Look Mean!

Day 21!
Not going to lie it feels good to write down day 21, getting close to day 30. I am in the groove, my cravings are gone and it is surprisingly not that hard anymore. But yet, I miss baking, I miss baking treats for my family, I miss enjoying them on Sunday night dinner.
But we are on the homestretch. And hopefully I am in this alone! Keep posting peeps. It can get lonely on the blog. 😊

It's the weekend, some of you may have plans to go out to eat. Or like my hubby, have to be out of town for work for a few days.
Check out this link for help on how to stay compliant, just like at home being prepared will be the key to your success.

Day 14: Sunday October 12th
Happy Thanksgiving!
We have a big family dinner tonight, let's see how well we can set ourselves for success.
I plan on being prepared so that I can enjoy my meal and feel satisfied. I tested this paleo gravy and I must say it is quite good. I made mine with ghee and organic broth and two onions. Google nomnom Paleo gravy if my link doesn't work. She also has a recipe for date sweetened cranberry sauce if you like.
http://nomnompaleo.com/post/1634346420/easy-paleo-herb-gravy-recipe
I am also contributing an appetizer and side dish to our family gathering and I am bringing bacon wrapped scallops and I am roasting a whole bunch of squash. I have a couple delicata, a kabocha squash and a butternut squash.
Because dinner without dessert just might be too hard, I am baking these squares. I will sweeten with date paste and add chopped nuts instead of chocolate chips.

I hope this helps! If you need any extra holiday support don't be afraid to reach out. We are now almost half way. If you slip up, don't let yourself fall completely off the wagon. Get back on, be honest and move on.
Great work team!

Day 11: Thursday October 9th
We are past the one third mark!
Hopefully by now the positive changes you feel should make you appreciate the benefits of the Whole 30. Also help with your resolve to finish strong and stay on track. Please take a moment to share your experience with the group.
For myself I must say the amount of dairy I let creep back into my diet lately was not agreeing with me. It's definitively obvious to me now and I will have to think hard about what I bring back into my diet. I much prefer a flat stomach. My belly is much happier, no more bloating and gas.
This week my energy has improved greatly and I am not nearly as hungry. Sweet cravings are going down. I am taming my sugar monster! Also didn't feel as bogged down by cooking as I did in week one. Getting the hang of I guess. Not to say I don't have my struggles. Very anxious about the family thanksgiving dinner and all the temptations....
If you don't feel any better and hate it, speak up too, there is no shame in this. And maybe we can tweak some things for you and make this a more enjoyable and successful process.
Great work everyone! Keep on posting and sharing.

Day 10
Is it starting to feel easier or are we starting to feel like this?
Day 9:Tuesday October 7th
Fall is here, squash are in season and I happen to love them! Between there sweet flesh, hearty nature and high starch content, it really makes them a great carb options for us Crossfitters. We have been eating butternut squash many ways lately, but there are many other seasonal options. Take this Whole 30 as an opportunity to try something new.
Scott and I discovered Kabocha squash (sometimes called Japanese pumpkin) a few years ago and it has been a family favorite since. It is readily available at this time of year at most fruit and vegetable markets or chain grocery store. It is delicious simply roasted and has an edible skin once roasted which makes prepping easier. Here's how to roast it if anyone wants to give it a try.

Day 8:Monday October 6th
Week 2, here we go!
Reading labels on the Whole30 can be frustrating, realizing all the things we cannot have. There is added sugar in literally everything and often for no reason at all other that everyone is so addicted to sugar we need to make everything extra sweet.
Just try to find a ham to bake or a jar of mayo without it. Yet if you do make mayo at home like I did yesterday, you do not need sugar at all and it can be delicious. I have spent more time cooking and planning meals in the past week that I did in the past month. True. But if I am honest, I also had some amazing meals this week and really felt satisfied all week. I for one value my health, but still firmly believes that eating should be both decadent and fuel my healthy lifestyle.
Of course the food that come without a label at your grocery store are whole foods are always our best option. Read your labels carefully! Be creative in the kitchen and share with us any new kitchen creation you come up with.
Let's have another good week!

Day 6:Saturday October 4th
Our first weekend guys!
Week one wasn't without challenges for me. I found myself having more of a carb hangover than I expected. Don't worry this is all part of the process.
I'd love to see more of you posting. Also don't be afraid to make the blog more interactive. Read each other's comments, share successes, recipes. We are all in this together!
Be strong.
Keep on sharing.
Eat Clean Look Mean.
