Whole30 – Day 12

Saturday  was gorgeous here in NC. After the morning fog rolled away and we ate lunch we headed outside to visit a local park, get coffee and go grocery shopping for Week 3 (which starts tomorrow) of our Whole30 Challenge. Breakfast: Fried Egg, Bacon and Sweet Potato Hash I’m still working on a Sweet Potato…

Whole30 – Day 11

I need to go grocery shopping, yesterday’s meals were a bit of a hodgepodge of random things I could find in the house. I think we did pretty well with what we had. I woke up super early to get the stitches removed from my hand where I stabbed myself  with a knife on day…

Whole30 – Day 10

Another fairly normal day for the Lieb family. Jude went to preschool, Joe went to work and I stayed home with the littles all day. I have always enjoyed cooking but have recently found it a challenge with 3 little kids but I’m learning that like everything else I do with 3 littles it just…

Whole30 – Day 9

We’re still doing pretty well with the Whole30 challenge. I’m having a harder time dealing with the sugar cravings, especially in the evening. I used to use chocolate as a stress reliever but now I need to find a new stress release. Thankfully I haven’t been as stressed lately as usual, maybe the Paleo diet…

Whole30 – Day 8

Joe is having a hard time with our Whole30 Challenge. He really misses his snack foods so when he planned on having a few guys over last night we started researching Paleo-friendly snacks and he decided on wings. He did a lot of recipe research and pretty much perfected Paleo wings (recipe to come). Breakfast:…

Whole30 – Day 7

Another day of clean eating and I’m feeling great. Breakfast: 2 Hard Boiled Eggs and Bacon Lunch: Salad with Chicken, Hard boiled Eggs, Pepperoni, Tomatoes, Carrots and Cucumber Dinner: Beef Fajitas & Guacamole Snack: I had some Yummy trail mix from Whole Foods (Nuts and Dried Fruit) and a cup of hot tea after dinner.

Whole30 – Day 6

Yesterday I did all of my shopping and meal planning for week 2. I found this really cute meal planner pad in the $1 bin at Target. Breakfast: Fried Egg with Roasted Red Pepper & Chorizo Joe isn’t a big fan of sausage but he liked the chorizo. We both found it a little too…

Whole30 – Day 5

Joe really misses chips and tortillas. We eat a lot of Mexican influenced Paleo foods, mostly because our family LOVES avocados and guacamole. We’ve eaten about 6 avocados this week! (maybe more) Day 5 was no exception, lots of avocados and guacamole flowing in the Lieb house. Noah has been walking around the house chanting,…

Whole30 – Day 4

I’ve been feeling pretty good so I think the Paleo diet is doing it’s thing. I don’t really miss most of the carbs, the main thing I miss is sugar, especially in the evening. I’ve really been ramping up my breakfasts which has helped me start the day with more energy and keeps me from…
