I know it has been a while since I have written; but as I warned in my last post, I was on vacation with family. I am so glad that I made it easier on myself and allowed for slips as the very first meal I was served was penne-pasta. I didn't take much, but I could tell almost immediately how it made me feel. While I overloaded on the very fresh tomato sauce and the side salad that consisted mainly of iceberg (a lettuce that is considered a dirty word in my household) I just felt sluggish from the highly processes white pasta. The rest of the week went a little better as far as meal choices. Eating out made things really simple where I could ask for wheat and dairy to be removed and load up on the vegetables and protein.
Now that I am home again and finally made it the grocery store to restock my supply of Whole30 diet approved foods, I'm already starting to feel lighter. I guess I never really noticed how "heavy" wheat products made me feel. I know I promised myself and all of you that I would supplement my 1 week off with another 2 weeks on, but I have a feeling that this might become a more permanent part of my diet, with the exception that I will be adding in legumes (love me some legumes).
