Whole 30, Round 2: Week 1

This time last year, I started my first ever Whole 30 (see: Week 1; Week 2; Week 3; Week 4). As annoying as the program can be, I have to admit it really worked for me. While I may not have lost a lot of weight on the scale, I saw a serious change in my body composition (always take before and after photos!). …And then I went and got pregnant….

Now that I’m 6 weeks postpartum, I decided to do another round to jumpstart operation #babyweight. But this time I’m going to try to stick to 40 days, because to be honest, I have a wedding to go to at that point and I need to fit into a dress…

A quick disclaimer, though. I’m not being as super strict as I was during the first round. For example, the program discourages snacking and having desserts, even if they’re healthy. Well, I’m breastfeeding and I need snacks. And desserts. However, my desserts are still Whole 30 complaint. Last night I blended up a frozen banana to make “ice cream” and it was divine. Is it considered cheating on Whole 30? Yes. Do I care? No. No, I do not 🙂

So, here’s my recap of Week 1.
