Whole 30: Week 2 Meal Plan

Picture
Joy comes to us in ordinary moments. We risk missing out when we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary.
                                                    
 -Brene Brown

Yesterday was Day 5 of Whole 30 and I've learned that I'm miserable with too many restrictions. Cooking and eating during the week has been wonderful, and I've learned some new breakfasts other than my usual Balanced Breakfast Protein Shake. But now that the weekend has approached, I am completely joyless knowing I can't go out to my favorite restaurants with my husband. Those 1, 2, or 3 times we actually do eat out are what bring both of us pleasure. I cherish those few times during the week where I don't have to cook and can chat and flirt stupidly with my husband in one of our local good food spots.  The quote above expresses my thoughts on this topic pretty well-- I'm not happy chasing the "perfect" or extraordinary diet {Whole 30} and my diet before made my body and soul feel good. Call me a quitter, but I'd rather choose joy in the everyday ordinary moments of my imperfect life, then go another day unhappy just to prove to myself I can finish 25 more days of "perfect food". So if anyone out there feels unhappy or shameful for the way they eat or how they live, please change it and do what brings your mind, body and soul joy!

Even though I am choosing not to continue the Whole 3O journey, doesn't mean you have to stop too!  Some people thrive on strict diets to get themselves back on track, and some fail miserably with too many restrictions, like myself.  I am still dedicated to help others going through this process so I will be posting meal plans for the rest of this 3O day period for anyone that needs the "food" support. I am your biggest cheerleader for whatever brings you and your body joy!  xoxo
