Whole30: Day's 10 & 11

According to the timeline, day's 10 & 11 are supposed to be the hardest days…

Fortunately for Kyle and I, they were actually some of the easiest!

Now, our pants were a little bit tighter as it says they might be, but I didn't want to quit at all!

For dinner we just had chicken and spaghetti squash.

My first time eating and cooking spaghetti squash and it was good!


Honestly the hardest thing about day 10 was that it was Saturday and we wanted to go out for a date night treat! I think that's what makes the weekend hard for me is that we don't get to do that.

BUT we are a third of the way done!!!!!!!

Mother's Day wasn't even as hard as you might think it would have been.

Kyle was so sweet and adventurous!

He found a recipe for cinnamon banana sweet potato pancakes.

Now technically this is not allowed on the Whole30.

But a real man, let's his wife 'cheat' for Mother's Day.

It's not really cheating because every ingredient is allowed.

Coconut whip cream, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries!


It was WONDERFUL!!! It is shocking that sweet potatoes and bananas (and a few other ingredients) can come together to make something so good!


Will I be eating like this next mother's day? Absolutely not.

Am I very proud of myself for eating this way this mother's day? YES!

(I didn't even eat the chocolate they passed out at church)

 For dinner we made beef taco lettuce wraps.

I made a ton of cauliflower rice, I might be obsessed with that!


It even folded up very nicely into a 'burrito'


Just some ground beef with taco spices, cauliflower with cilantro, guacamole, and some homemade salsa that I threw together at the last minute!

I am so impressed with myself for deciding to take control of my eating habits and my health. I thought I would be saying it is one of the hardest things I've ever done but honestly, it just seems natural!

Ok, ok. I am not always this positive about it. But overall Kyle and I are both feeling great. We have noticed a huge decrease in sugar cravings and even snacking has gone down a bit. That's mostly because I can't snack on Milk Duds and Nature Valley peanut bars, but I also don't always want to snack.

Tomorrow is supposed to be boundless energy… We will see about that.

I'm thinking it will come on Tuesday. We have noticed that everything seems to come a day or two later than the timeline says it will!

Here's to hoping it comes soon and my pants begin to fit again!
