This weekend went by far too quickly. Friday was low key so I was able to catch up on some of my shows from Bravo. My sweet husband woke up with E and took her on adventures (a.k.a.breakfast from Chick-fil-a and window shopping at Sears) while I relaxed in bed, cooked a delicious breakfast and caught up on Grey's Anatomy. E and I traveled to the park for a playdate and three mile run while my husband was busy bringing home his new toy, a '67 Mustang.
On Sunday morning we went to church and then took a field trip to the ER - yes, THAT ER. During service, J started having excruciating pain that mimicked a gallbladder attack. The funny thing is, he doesn't have a gallbladder. After chugging a GI cocktail and waiting multiple hours to receive his lab results, he felt better and we were given the all clear. Shout out to my fantastic neighbor who watched E for a few hours! Needless to say, our Sunday afternoon was spent scrambling around the house trying to get things done.
One of the items I HAD to do once the hospital released us was head to the grocery store. If I don't get groceries for the week, then I set myself up for failure on the eating healthy plan. This is particularly important as I am on my last week of Whole 30! Technically Valentine's Day is my day thirty, but I may continue on for a couple of days. Aside from grocery shopping, the most important thing I do to aid in a successful Whole 30 round is meal plan. Since I've shared my first two weeks of meals with you, I couldn't hold back my plan for week three, but will admit it's pretty boring.

Meal planning is such an important step to healthier eat, plus really does save time and money.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't do it, it seriously derails the whole family for the next week! Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteMeal planning is so helpful for me too...It definitely keeps me on track for the week!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. It's a hot mess if I can't prioritize grocery shopping.
DeleteAdrienne, noooo!! A trip to the ER?! Thank goodness you guys didn't have to take E! That would have been a disaster.
ReplyDeleteWhole 30 would be tough for me to give up all the good stuff. Maybe I should start with one, sugar or alcohol and work my way up!
ReplyDelete:) I thought the same thing. Surprisingly, alcohol was not as hard as I imagined it would be. I'm not a huge sweets lover, but sugar is in SO many things (like salad dressing) that it was a bit tough for the first few days of my initial round. If you ever decide to try, I'll be more than happy to help if I can!
DeleteI love this! I am getting on the healthy meal prep train and this is great! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteI just did a round of whole 30 and found it pretty easy. I'm going to check out your creamer. I did miss my 1/2 & 1/2.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! Yes, check out the creamer. It is a great alternative to the sugary, dairy kind. I prefer the hazelnut and vanilla flavors. Check out nutpods - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ENITUA0/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01ENITUA0&linkCode=as2&tag=bentleyliketh-20&linkId=643242444734ea4a985f230cfe93e438&th=1.
