Happy Friday lovely! Whole30 sounds so strict... i'm not sure I could stick to so many rules at once. Have you been on Slimming Eats? The lady who runs it comes on here and she did SW and now does Paleo xxx

Happy Monday lovelies 
looking forward to reading what you've all been up to over the weekend!
We had one of our nephews 3rd birthday party on sat and then a chilled day yesterday Saturday was the first real temptation for our whole30 as the was party food, cake and fizz! But we resisted! The sister in law had done some food we could eat bless her but it had legumes in so we had to eat around them. It was a lovely day though, then it was lovely chilling my boy yest. He did meal research and cooked breakfasts and helped with dinner so it was a much more pleasurable experience prepping than usual.
Day 15 of whole30 so nearly halfway through!
Weighed in this morning and -1lb which is fine as I've been back exercising (2 circuit strength sessions, 1 intense cardio session, and a week of the squat challenge - 80 last night) and that's definitely a shock to the system. Also you're not supposed to lose weight second week so will see what next week brings.
Eats for today:
B - fiesta bowl! I can't face eggs anymore so going more for meal1 then breakfast. This is minced pork with onion garlic and peppers and seasoning, served with homemade salsa and avocado.
L - leftover Sunday dinner (chicken, white sweet potato, roasties, carrots, broccoli, green beans)
Pre bootcamp (oh yeah bootcamp starts tonight in the freezing cold!) - banana and almond butter
Post-bootcamp - small tin of tuna
D - Pulled pork (in the slow cooker today for about 13 hours <3) with celeriac chips and spring greens. Followed with some pineapple.

Haha I can definitely imagine you shouting the orders and allowing no slacking!
The rules you set out for the whole30 in the post to Jade sound so strict...but then I read your food and it just sounds delish! So much better to concentrate on the things you ARE allowed instead of the things you're not, right?!
Hope that bloat decides to bloat off soon! What are you and James up to this weekend?! Xx

Well done on the resistance and the loss!!You superstars! Have fun at bootcamp tonight!!

Well done on sticking to plan over the weekend, especially at the party! I read an article yesterday that said eating more non-traditional breakfasts is actually better for you than the standard cereal / fruit / eggs combo so you're on to a winner there. Best of luck with bootcamp tonight.

Good work Jess!! Weekends are always so hard. It's interesting that you're not expected to lose much in week 2 - which websites do you get most of your whole30 info from? x

They are but this is defs easier than slimming world as you feel you can justify a bit whereas on this the answer is no full stop and I find that easier. I give into cravings but I'm determined to complete my whole30.
The whole30 official site, FB site and some blogs. The book mainly though xxxx.

I know what you mean with the 'no' philosophy! It's easier to not even contemplate it and just keep it on the 'no' list in the brain instead of deliberate and falter. I defo found that when I was on the juice detox...but then I think it's cos I knew the end was only ever 4 days away! Not long enough to break to habit for sometimes craving the naughties!
Are you feeling better for it in yourself? Glowing or more energetic or anything?! Xx
