Whole30 January Results

Another month done and dusted and I am excited to share my results from Whole30 January (and coincidentally a 5 month postpartum update). While Whole30 seemed daunting and difficult it truly was life changing and easy once I got the hang of it. See my takeaways and results below!

My Whole30 Staples + NEW! Mom Resources

Sugar is my addiction and if I had to guess probably yours as well. It is in nearly everything we eat and we seemingly cannot escape it. Losing weight, living a healthy lifestyle, staying free of illnesses etc etc. does not include eating sugar, period. Personally, to cut out sugar I had to start slowContinueContinue reading “My Whole30 Staples + NEW! Mom Resources”

Postpartum Weight Loss Chronicles: 4 Months PP

My plan was to do these postpartum updates monthly but I blew past month two for a variety of reasons. Month two postpartum was tough.

InstaPot Shredded Chicken

I have had my InstantPot since my wedding September 2019 and last month (I am ashamed to say) I finally figured out shredded chicken. For whatever reason, I have struggled so hard getting shredded chicken right. It is either very dry or oddly chewy. I also get weirded out by chicken very easily so manyContinueContinue reading “InstaPot Shredded Chicken”
