Fourth Week of Whole30
Well, I made it!! I wasn’t too good about blogging, but I did very well with sticking to the plan.
As the weather became cooler last week, I was in the mood for a goody so I am looking forward to making some paleo chocolate chip cookies from a recipe a friend shared with me.
For that day, I made me some avocado pudding sweetening it with a few dates.
This week, I enjoyed some chia pudding with bananas. I used my immersion blender to blend the bananas in with the pudding. This did the trick.
I am feeling the same, although I haven’t taken Advair in three days, so that is good. I don’t feel like I need it either.
Did I learn anything while on the Whole30?
Well, I can now say my issue isn’t food related. It helps, but there are other factors. When the weather shifted a few weeks ago, my sinuses went crazy. Sadly I had to take Mucinex a few days that week. The same thing happened in June or July when the weather shifted to being hotter.
So, what next?
I will continue to eat this way because it makes me feel better. After a meal, I don’t feel heavy or bloated. Plus, I know it is way healthier for me. I am still working on getting the family aboard although they will eat most of what I make.
It has also helped me be more consistent like I was hoping. Now that I am officially ‘off’, I am hoping to continue to be more consistent with making healthy food choices.
Now, if I can get myself to exercise!…
Blessings,

Hi Cynthia! I’ve also learned that wheat wasn’t the cause to all my woes, though it does help my digestive system a lot when I restrict it. I hope you can continue to find what helps your breathing difficulties. I am still in search of what will limit the inflammation of my joints.
By the way, how did those cookies turn out?
I’m about to print out your Philippians pages so that I can participate in the Doorpost study. I already joined the facebook group. With my crazy days lately, I need something that’s short and to the point.
Hope to talk to you soon…right after my sis leaves!
Blessings!

Hey Dee!
I am so glad to hear you will be doing the study in Philippians. I know you will enjoy it.
The cookies were yummy! The kids were eating the dough before I could get them in the oven.
But, they didn’t come out looking like yours, small and plump. Mine spread flat.
Not sure where I went wrong.
I will email you more soon.
Blessings,
Cynthia
