Hi, gang! \u00a0How was everyone’s night? I had a splash of bourbon last night and two peppermint chocolate squares while I watched more Criminal Minds. \u00a0I ran the pups out for a last potty run and then we headed to bed. I read a bit, I’m currently rereading The Whole 30<\/em> because I’m going to be doing that challenge again in January.<\/p>\n

I did finish Food Freedom Forever<\/em> a little while back, and the book was alright. It wasn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be. I thought that it was going to be more about Melissa’s story, background, her journey, and how she found food freedom. \u00a0Instead it’s a guide so that you can find food freedom. \u00a0It is basically doing a Whole 30 (without saying do a Whole 30) and then following reintroduction steps.<\/p>\n

I feel like this book is maybe geared more towards people who haven’t done a Whole 30 and who need help getting started with incorporating whole foods into their diet. \u00a0It’s a nice ease into eating real food without the pressure of a challenge or a complete diet change. \u00a0But for those of us that are mostly there, I don’t\u00a0really think this book is for us.<\/p>\n

If you\u00a0read the book I’d love to hear your thoughts.<\/p>\n

Ok, earlier this week I have been in a funk. \u00a0It happens. I deal with anxiety and sometimes also get the blahs. \u00a0Truth time. \u00a0Exercising and eating well helps to keep those things in check but sometimes I just need to\u00a0be quiet and alone for a bit.<\/p>\n

That happened for a few days this week but thankfully I’m coming out of that and am feeling much more like myself. \u00a0Whew! \u00a0Being outside also helps and this morning it was sunny and the air was so crisp and refreshing. I needed that!<\/p>\n

Breakfast was another yogurt bowl and some collagen coffee.<\/p>\n
