Hey guys, its been a while since we have actually posted on the blog and while we know that you love following our stories and meals. I figured today I would take a moment and explain a recent decision that I have made. It’s time for another Whole30.

I honestly can’t remember if I have mentioned it or not, but I had never heard of Whole30 until I started dating Mary Gwen. When she told me about it, it was at the very least intrigued and also wanted to impress her. So, I decided to join her in Whole30. It truly was an amazing experience and we both saw the benefits both NSV and SV.

We have done a couple Whole30’s since then and few resets, but it has been a few months since our real Whole30 and despite my own hesitation I can feel it. While I can’t say I feel the difference from non-Whole30 to Whole30 as much as MG does. I have noticed subtle differences. And while I don’t think I will ever be a Whole30 life person, I do think this is the most sustainable lifestyle I have seen.

A couple things I have learned about Whole30 and FFF are that every person is different. For instance, MG is a very black and white type person. Its all or nothing, which can be both a good and bad thing. But in her FFF it has proven to be difficult. I on the other hand am far more comfortable with the grey. I have seen big changes in my Sugar Dragon and my cravings. While I admit have over indulged at times, I have found I would rather eat Whole30 or use Whole30 approved items over less healthy things.

My decision was simply one of reflection. I haven’t been feeling a 100% recently and I know that my eating has contributed to that. The stress and busy lifestyle of the summer has allowed us both fall into some less the stellar habits. And while I haven’t talked to MG about it, I think we both could do with a solid Whole30.

One thing that I want to attempt this round is to try at least one new recipe each week. Sometimes easier becomes the mantra for Whole30 and I would agree, but variety also plays a big role in not being bored with food. Another thing I hope we can do is have a weekly advice/QA session with our followers. Explain about Whole30, FFF, Thingamajigs, and more. Of course, we will also be doing some giveaways and collaborations, as well.

August 1^st is just around the corner and we have a lot of preparation before then, but we hope that some of you will join us on our next Whole30 journey and can’t wait to hear from you!
