In all honesty, the more rounds I accomplish, the easier it is to cook and eat out while participating in a Whole 30 round. Stay turned as I will be sharing some tips for eating out, places to eat, and a resource to make your Whole 30 experience as easy and organized as possible.
Since I finished my round a few days ago, I did try a few things off plan this weekend. On Friday, I was finally able to get my hair done. This appointment was so overdue that it wasn't even funny. My roots were screaming for some bleach! I decided to stop by Starbucks on the way to the hair salon for a Caramel Macchiato. It was very sugary - typically I ask for half the amount of syrup/flavor, but forgot as I was in a hurry. Oh well. My hair drank more bleach than normal in anticipation of the warmer weather ahead and I came home a happy girl!
On Saturday morning I woke up and met a friend for some target practice at the gun range. I have learned that I have a weak (or weird) grip that causes my gun to sometimes jam so it looks like private classes are in my near future.
Following the shooting range we talked ourselves into a much needed trip to the gym and I came home to give J a break and hang out with E for a while. The night ended with a dinner at one of the delicious eateries downtown with a few of my lady friends from the neighborhood.
My mommy friend G and I were laughing since we apparently dressed alike for dinner. In case you would also like to dress as a mom on your night out, grab a pair of skinny jeans, a black shirt, and a fun long necklace. #momming
Sunday involved church, visiting family, chores and a volunteer dinner at church. Low key as always.
Enough about the weekend, let's talk about what you came here for - a meal plan. For the final week of Whole 30, I kept it simple with a few of my favorite recipes.

Finally, happy Presidents' Day! For the first time since I've been with my company, we have today off. I'm taking advantage of having a day to myself by working out, folding laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning, making some decisions for the HOA and catching up on my beloved TV shows.
I hope you have an equally productive and entertaining Monday!

I have had couple friends who have done this program. I found out from them I'm doing to bad in my own home just need change few things.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing if you only need to change a few things!
DeleteI really need to start meal planning. It's one of my goals this year. I like that you work in Chipotle!
ReplyDeleteChipotle is my go-to place when doing a round AND when not doing a round, haha. I could eat there every day and not get sick of it!
DeleteI have been looking at doing the plant-based diet which seems pretty similar to Whole 30. I know it's definitely a struggle to be 100% compliant so congrats on finishing your final week!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I'll have to read up on the plant-based diet and see what that is all about.
DeleteIt sounds like you had a great weekend! I love the concept of the Whole 30 plan, but I hate meat, so it wouldn't work well for me!f Stopping by from Tuesday Talk. XOXO
ReplyDeleteGreat job on finishing up the Whole 30!!! I've heard so many great things about it! I will be getting my hair done in two weeks. It's been almost a month since it's been done. You look like you had an amazing weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Cheers for getting our hair done! My time in between was much longer than a month though, haha. I'm really bad about staying on top of my hair schedule!
DeleteCongrats on finishing Whole 30!! I'm sure it was hard but your meals all sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove how you put the meal plans together!! Definitely emulating if I ever do another Whole30. I agree on those Starbucks drinks!! I'm usually a cappuccino gal (so no added sweeter and VERY strong coffee flavor) but you might like the new Cascara - just very subtle sweetness :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job!! I loved the Whole 30!!! How did you like it!?
ReplyDeleteThank you for some meal ideas. My mom wear on nights out is skinny jeans, black shirt and a long necklace as well!!!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! My husband is planning on doing the Whole30 diet!
ReplyDeleteAre you doing it with him? I WISH my husband would do it with me! Granted, he eats what I cook, but doesn't follow it at work or if he's out.
DeleteThat is my mom staple too, skinny jeans and a black shirt. Ha. Great minds think alike. Yay for fun time with your friends. I laughed at the boomerang. Creepy and funny!
