Whole 30 - one day at a time

Still here, still struggling, still looking for motivation but still maintaining a healhty weight, working out and enjoying life so its all good!

How fast has this year gone though!

A quick update before I probably take another 2 month blogging silence! I'm still trying to eat clean as best I can and not follow some faddy or restrictive diet, however as mentioned before its not all about being thin I want to be healthy and feed my body with the best possible foods I can.

On that note I've noticed a deluge of posts and info on Whole 30 recently - yeah I know its been around for years but for some reason it keeps popping up everywhere that I look - a sign perhaps?

It actually looks reaaaaally restrictive and to be honest I'm not sure how much of it I could stick to - no quinoa or chickpeas?? These make up a huge part of most of my meals! And the no caffeine or dairy might be the deal breaker, I only take a tiny bit of milk anyway but I think I'd struggle!

Anyways, I'm not going to go all gung ho and say yeah whole 30 for life (or 30 days!) only to feel miserable when I fail on day 5 - however as the title of this post suggests I am going to try it for a day at a time - they may not be consecutive days but I will try to follow the principles as best I can.  I've seen loads of good results posts about how much healthier and better people felt afterwards so we'll see!

So, day 1 - its half 12 and I've still not had any caffeine - this in itself is blogworthy! I had a chopped banana with almonds and coconut flakes for breakfast with a cup of caffeine free fruit tea.  Lunch was a chicken breast with some mushrooms, red pepper and a boiled egg, bottle of still water and more fruit tea.

There are some yummy looking recipes online so I'm thinking of some type of pork carnitas with sweet potato for dinner!

Have you done whole 30 or paleo or considered it?  What do you eat or what eating plan if any do you follow?  Let me know!
