Today is Day 5 of my Whole30 challenge. I'm 16.66% there! Sounds pretty good right? I had a bit of a headache yesterday but after eating dinner it went away. I think I'm coming down with a cold which stinks but hopefully it stays away!
I feel really good. I did miss my Friday evening beer but I lived! ;) I've always avoided meats & fats and focused on low calorie "light" items and a lot of cheese, whole grains & beans. I'm actually starting to think that those things made me feel bloated and not meat after all I also notice that reading labels is a BIG eye opener. Things you think are healthy are not! It can be scary to read labels. Some of the ingredients are pretty odd, chemicals & preservatives!
I ordered some grass fed beef online this week and it arrived! Check out this haul.....
I bought this from Grass Fed Traditions I'd seen their name mentioned on some other Paleo websites and decided to try it. They were having a sale so I went for it. I purchased 6lbs of grass fed ground beef and big 4.5lb rump roast that is going to become a delicious barbacoa this weekend! I was pretty excited about my shipment.
Princess?
WHY is my blog called the Princess Without Peas? Well, I don't consider myself a Princess, I'm actually pretty practical OF COURSE. :p I have some friends & old co-workers that would RAZ me all the time and call me "Princess" I was trying to think of a name for this blog and I thought it would be funny. "Without Peas" refers to the Whole30 program I am following. No starchy vegetables and peas is one of them. Of course it was also a spin on the The Princess and the Pea! There you go, your curiosity has been satisfied and your life can continue! :-) Now, I'm off to get my nails done and finish by bon bons..... haha just kidding.

Whole30
Welcome to my blog! I want to use this blog to document my Whole30 challenge. The Whole30 is basically eliminating grains, processed foods, sugar & dairy for 30 days. If you want to understand a little more about how our bodies use food and how food affects us I highly recommend reading IT STARTS WITH FOOD by Melissa & Doug Hartwig. I couldn't stop reading it and everything they talk about makes total sense. I want to see how I'll feel and discover some new things along the way! I know that I can better my health by eating the right foods! Follow my adventure!
