I know a bunch of y’all are doing January Whole30 and I’m so excited for everyone doing it! I am pumped to get back on track and have this blog and my instagram to help keep me accountable. I hope to stay accountable not only food wise, but with my workouts too.

So, what’s my plan?

My plan is to start my fourth (!) official round on Monday, Jan. 9. I am attending a wedding this weekend and want to be able to truly enjoy toasting to the couple, so I decided starting a week after everyone else would be best for me.

I started eating mostly Whole30 this week, in hopes that it’ll make next week easier. During my Whole30, I plan to share my meal plan and some quick recipes. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m lazy. But! I am doing my best to stay organized and meal prep, but that doesn’t mean my meals have to be hard to make. At the end of the day, I still want to make dinner in 25 minutes or less.

I want to keep it easy and show y’all you can do Whole30 without destroying the kitchen every night or breaking the bank. Below I’m sharing my “pre-Whole30-ish” week of meals.

Side bar: I’ve started bullet journaling and I am finding it so much easier to organize and meal prep! It really helps to write it out and make my grocery list right then.
