Just barely squeaking this into Week 3. It's been a crazy one. One of my two doula clients for this month had her baby on Tuesday, and it was an extremely intense almost-24 hours. I stayed on track, Whole30 wise, but the circumstances surrounding the birth and everything else has shot Whole30 firmly into the backseat of my priorities!
I've been a little disoriented and my sleep has gotten off track a bit as a result. I'm supposed to be in the "Tiger Blood" phase of feeling amazing, and I'm sure I will be once I feel like I'm back to normal.
I also just don't feel right writing about my little Whole30 adventure when just 48 hours ago I was in the midst of a much more intense life event for my wonderful client and her amazing family. It feels quite small by comparison, but out of respect for her privacy I can't go into any details about the birth or how I've been processing it (let alone how she's been).
For now, I'm just happy to have posted something on the blog, as I'm trying to stay faithful to updating once a week. I'm also quite proud to have stayed on the plan - never have I wanted a glass of wine more than when I was walking home on Tuesday night! I will hopefully have something more substantive to say next week, and when my next client goes into labor I plan to be just as well prepared to take care of myself while taking care of her!
