LeTishia Johnson here! My
husband and I have jumped on the bandwagon that is Whole30. He works
Healthways, a lifestyle company, and has had several co-workers and employees
experience Whole30. They have been nothing but positive about their
experiences. This was very encouraging! I discovered through a
friend of mine, Mary, that she was also doing Whole30. After reading more
about it and doing some research, Lawrence and I discussed it and made the
decision to go for it.
We are in Week 2, and we both
feel AMAZING! I’m not nearly as tired as I usually am, and Lawrence looks
great. His face is slimming down and he has lost some inches. We
read that you aren’t supposed to weigh yourself, so we haven’t.
However, we both can tell that our bodies are changing based on the way our
clothes have been fitting as of late.
Pinterest has been a GODSEND for
us. We discovered a hamburger steak recipe that we love along with some
easy pot roast recipes. We’re still looking for the right chicken recipe
for us though. Here’s to hoping we find one this week.
As far as costs, Whole30 is very
cost effective. We shop at Kroger, Publix, Aldi’s, and Sam’s. For
the amount of fruit that we consume, Sam’s was the best place to buy it.
Lawrence makes smoothies for breakfast each morning, and I make scrambled eggs
or an omelet each morning. We really are fine with making the same things
for breakfast and lunch, but we enjoy having variety for dinner. Again,
this is where Pinterest comes in handy. We have a two toddlers at home,
and they eat what we eat. We still have snacks in the house for them, but
it’s not anything that Lawrence and I crave.
The biggest challenge has the
been the 4:00-5:00 bubble. This is when I get home with the kids and
start dinner. I want to snack so bad, but I just drink water to work
through it. It’s has been helping. My skin is the clearest it’s
been in a long time, and I just feel better about myself and my food decisions.
YAY WHOLE30!
