Week 1 is done! I always stress about Whole30 until I’m about a week in. It finally becomes just eating, and not constantly worrying about meals and where to eat and what I can’t eat, etc. This week I’ve felt pretty good. No major headaches or anything. I definitely did have a day of kill all things. I’ve been enjoying my meals (and my instant pot) and am feeling great, so bring on week 2!
I’m still basing my meals on sales at Sprouts. I bought a lot of big things last week, so I only bought a few things to get me through this. Oh, if you shop at Sprouts, download the Sprouts app (click here for iPhone & android)! They have great coupons, including one that’s spend $40, save $5!
Also, I’m going to start including my workout plan for the week. Honestly, this is to keep me more accountable, but is also a great place to share my workouts with y’all!
Meal plan for Jan. 16 – 20
Monday
Breakfast: Prosciutto egg and spinach cup, avocado and coffee with cashew milk.
Lunch: Work lunch at Zoes Kitchen. I get the greek salad, no feta, no tomatoes, extra olives.
Dinner: Chocolate Chili. This is easy one of my favorite Whole30 dishes. It freezes well, so I like to make a lot of it for quick meals. I’m going to try to use my instant pot, but am using a recipe based off of one from Well Fed, pg. 73)
Workout: Camp Gladiator at 6:45am and possibly a Sonic Hot 60 yoga class in evening.
Tuesday
Breakfast: Prosciutto egg cup, avocado and coffee with cashew milk.
Lunch: Work lunch.
Dinner: Chili stuffed bell pepper
Workout: Yoga or walking Gundy. We’ll see how the weather is.
Wednesday
Breakfast:Prosciutto egg cup, avocado and coffee with cashew milk.
Lunch: Chili on top of a salad.
Dinner: Pork sausage with vegetables.
Workout: Camp Gladiator at 6:45am
Thursday
Breakfast: Prosciutto egg cup, avocado and coffee with cashew milk.
Lunch: Tuna salad.
Dinner: Leftover chili.
Workout: Rest day.
Friday
Breakfast: Prosciutto egg cup, avocado and coffee with cashew milk.
Lunch: Leftover pork sausage.
Dinner: Leftovers
Workout: Camp Gladiator at 6:45am
Side note: I don’t plan out the weekends because I’m normally at home and it’s easy for me to pull something together.
Last week I stuck pretty close to my meal plan. I had a ton more leftovers than I originally planned and some days I wasn’t super hungry. If I wasn’t hungry, I’m still have a meal (following the Whole30) template, but would just make it a lot smaller.

I couldn’t agree more about week one – Days 8-9 are the worst for me though! Now I’m on Day 14 and can’t believe I’m 1/2 way through! Love your meal plan & that you’re including work out stuff too, good luck girl!
January 15, 2017 at 2:29 pmI love Wellfed’s chocolate chili! I like to add veggies like bell peppers and sweet potatoes to it so it’s more of a “one pot meal”.
January 16, 2017 at 8:28 amGREAT IDEA! I have SO many bell peppers I need to use, so I’ll probably add them in! Thank you!!
January 16, 2017 at 2:49 pmCongrats on Whole 30! I loved it too! Getting through week one is always the hardest for me but it sounds like you had no trouble!
January 17, 2017 at 8:20 pmI haven’t tried Whole 30 yet but you make it look pretty easy! I’m tempted to give a go sometime this year.
January 17, 2017 at 10:46 pmI highly recommend it! It’s amazing how much you can learn about your body while doing it.
January 17, 2017 at 11:01 pmSounds like you’re really making the Whole30 work for you – I do it to and have never felt better! Keep it up!
