Good morning to all my fellow Whole Living 28 Day Challengers, curious onlookers, and everyone else smartly sitting back to see how all this plays out before attempting it themselves. Today is Day 1 for me and I started it sipping on a cup of hot water with lemon, followed by my favorite green smoothie:

As I’ve said before, Week 1 is by far the hardest, so it helps to stay focused on your goals. Here’s why I’m doing this:
- After the holidays, Kate’s birthday party, and my surprise trip to New Orleans, my 80/20 plan has turned into more of a 70/30 plan–or (eek!) maybe even more of a 60/40 plan. The biggest reason I’m doing this is to get my nutrition back on track so I can continue setting a healthy example for my daughter.
- To challenge myself to break out of my comfort zone and try new foods and recipes.
- To shake off these winter lazies, and head into spring feeling refreshed, healthy, and energized!
What are your goals for this month?
Just ate some spiced butternut squash and apple soup for lunch! So far so good!
That’s good news Shannon–I’ll be making it later this week!
Hi,
Im randomly commenting to ask you to bring back the fashion posts. I used to love those and it seems they have gotten few and far between! I have two little munchkins and was excited to see some of your post-baby outfits.

Um. Yah, I’m totally going to watch how this pans out plus let you do all the planning and experimenting for me! Then maybe (MAYBE) I’ll try it in March!! I was already thinking of a GREEN smoothie to help me add more greens!! yay! -CC in VA
Great job! I’m not trying this now because I’m pregnant and still SO sick everyday (at 25 weeks). I want to try after the baby comes though! Good luck!
Hi Steph, thanks for the feedback! I love doing my fashion posts but they’re tough to execute since I have to take my own picture (self-timer), find a spot with good lighting, etc. If only G would become a photographer, lol! They are so much fun to do though. I’ll try to post some more often!
@CC–So far so good! And the smoothie is an excellent way to get your greens. Although it’s kinda funny you mention that b/c I use the smoothies to get my fruit!
Thanks Lindsey! Best wishes to you on the rest of your pregnancy–I hope you start feeling better soon!
