Whole Living Challenge

Welcome to my Whole Living Challenge page!

To begin, read all about how I went from being a Hamburger Helper loving, fruits and vegetable hater to trying my very first orange…and grape…and banana…

In all started in 2011 with my very first Whole Living Challenge!

My 28 Day Challenge

In 2012 I invited readers to join me in the Whole Living Challenge, and I documented each week’s preparation and overview on blog. I also kept a daily log of everything I ate (as well as gave and received invaluable support!) on my All Things G&D Facebook page. Here are quick links to my 2012 Challenge posts:

In 2013, I tackled the Whole Living Challenge for a third time, and once again blogged about it in detail for anyone interested in following along or joining me. I also tracked my grocery purchases this year for an added look at how much money it costs me to do the Challenge. Keep in mind that I buy nearly all organic when I grocery shop. We also buy in bulk from Costco to keep our grocery expenses down, so things I already had on hand (like tilapia fillets in my freezer from Costco) were not reflected in my weekly grocery bill.
