We have one more week left of January! Are you staying on track with your goals, resolutions, etc? I sort of got a cheat this last week. When you do Whole 30, you aren’t supposed to get on the scale at all. Well, I had to go to the doctor for my six week postpartum appointment and the nurse literally asked me what the scale said as she was writing on my chart sooooooo I had to look. So I know that I have lost a few pounds already this month! That is what kept me going this week because I was so tempted to cheat but I didn’t and I am so proud!
I was cleared for very low impact work outs. I will be starting tomorrow with some light arm weights and walking. I cant do anything too crazy, and no ab work for at least another four weeks she said. No problem, I hate ab work. LOL.
As far as eating goes, last week I made a lot of my favorites: kung pao chicken, pork chops, roasted potatoes, crock pot chicken. This week’s menu will include a new chili recipe, sloppy joes over potates, taco bowls, turkey burgers and turkey stuffed zucchini ravioli. All Whole 30 compliant of course!
This is my favorite part of Whole 30, or any clean eating consistency. I am feeling lighter and more energized, and to me, that feeling is priceless!!! It takes a few weeks for those changes to happen, but when they do it is so much easier to keep on going. Tiger blood. Yes, please.
I just wanted to do my weekly check in for the link up, I will be back tomorrow with regular content! Happy Tuesday!

yay for the weight loss and getting cleared for light workouts. take it slow! it will be like starting over for a bit but your body’s muscle memory will kick right back in.
Good job, proud of you for staying on track and not cheating! We got this!
Nice job sticking to it! I’m with Kathy — it’ll all come back to you, but take it slow and don’t overdo it. And for sure about the ab thing — I thought my body might split in half when trying to do planks and shit.
I’m glad your appointment went well! That’s great that you’ve already lost weight. Clean eating does make a difference. The recipes for whole 30 sound really good! Beautifully Candid
Yay for you!
Do you have a Pinterest board with your Whole 30 recipes? Some of those sound pretty good! I’m always looking for new, healthy recipes for us!
I have not made chili in forever!!
Good for you, girl!!! I am on a mission to get rid of this baby weight, too. I’ve been running at the gym a lot, but I know I could do better with my eating!
You go girl! 🙂 Don’t overdo it when easing back into the work outs… it’ll come 🙂
i am 100% so far off the track i’m in another dimension. seriously. it’s awful. hence the not linking up because i have nothing to say except i just ate an entire bag of m&ms. so. you know. good for you though!
All of your meals sound delicious! It sounds like you’re doing such a good job staying on track and not giving into temptations to cheat. And how is January basically already over?!
