Whole30 Diaries: Week 1 Recap

I am ecstatic to report that I successfully completed my first week of Whole30! I'm shocked. And proud. And amazed that I didn't stray from any of the program's guidelines. I mean, have you read them? It's hardcore. And with any sort of experience similar to this, they say the first week is the hardest and is going to set the tone for the remaining 23 days. Because I handled my first week so well I'm even more excited and optimistic about doing this Whole30 thing!

For those of you who are becoming intrigued about Whole30, but don't think you have the will power to "say no" here are just a few examples of some of the meals I ate (and enjoyed!) during my first week. I couldn't be more serious when I say, "If I can do it, so can you."

Chicken "Italian" Salad

Baked Egg in Avocado

Blueberry "Tortilla" and Coffee with Coconut Milk
