If you don’t meal plan or don’t know anything about meal planning, this is for you. We use the fast and easy meal plans with Real Plans. How many meals do you cook a week? Do you try to make a meal plan? Typically, I just buy the certain fruits and vegetables my kids will eat along with our usual foods. Never in my life have I made a meal plan nor do I know how to make a meal plan. I don’t know where to begin to organize one. It must take a lot of work. But I do … Read more

That’s it! I’m doing Whole30! My goal is to get back into my size 8 jeans. As a late 40-something mom, I am obsessed with chocolate, despise working out and have hip pain. How do I weigh this much?

A week ago, a friend posted on Facebook about starting Whole30 on January 1st. She was going to set up a private Facebook group for Facebook friends to support each other.

Who knew there was this big, wide Whole30 world? I’m thinking a Whole30 daily log will help keep me on track. I started Whole30 on January 1, 2018. It was sort of on a whim. I’d been thinking about it since a friend mentioned it the week before. That was the first time I’d ever heard of it. It turns out, staring Whole30 on January 1st and accomplishing it was the best thing I did all year. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to look back on the year and know I accomplished it. I have updated this … Read more
