I am in the home stretch! The past week was probably the best week so far. There were several days where I had ample amounts of energy and felt amazing and I am really enjoying the food. I do miss going out to eat on the weekends with my family and I seriously miss my oatmeal...I can't stop thinking about my oatmeal. Out of all the things I cut out for this plan, the only thing I really miss is that, not too shabby. If you don't have dinner planned for tonight, MAKE THE MUSTARD BALSAMIC CHICKEN! Seriously the best chicken I have had in my life.

*pancakes are technically against the rules on Whole30. The philosophy is "a cookie is a cookie" and the objective is to break the unhealthy relationship you have with the baked goods, bread, whatever it is. I made the personal decision to share pancakes with lil' G (I made them for him😉) but will refrain from having them again until my 30 days are up. For the record, I NEVER eat "real" pancakes, in fact I don't even like them. I prefer my healthy version which I will post soon and the ones I made above were delicious too, no syrup needed!
And that is a wrap, see you next week!
