Whole 30 Week 4
Whole 30 Week 4 was harder than I expected it to be! We have had some personal matters going on and my normal crutch when things get stressful is a glass (or two) of wine and dark chocolate. I wanted those things to comfort me during those stressful times. I had to keep strong and I did!
As far as eating week 4 wasn’t difficult. I was used to eating this way, it was much easier to meal plan and adapt recipes. The finish felt so close, yet so far away.
A few times during the last week I wanted to cheat, but I am truly proud of myself for staying strong and making it through. Part of this was testing my mind and strength. Seeing it through to the end meant something this time.
After the Whole 30 ended I ate paleo. I was still feeling really good. To celebrate my Hubby and I went to dinner and I ate a lettuce wrapped grass fed burger with French fries. The problem was I drank WAY too much wine. I binged for sure and paid for it. I felt like shit for 6 days after that. Literally, death. I learned a lesson and will not be drinking like that at all. I’m too old for it and my body was pissed.
I will definitely say that there will likely be more whole 30’s in my future. When I need a reset this will be my go-to.
