I&#8217;ve had days where I&#8217;m eating whole foods and days where I am not.<\/p>\n<p>Do you ever feel like you are climbing a mountain but you never seem to reach the top! And every now and then you slide down and have to start again.<\/p>\n<p>Well that is what my journey is like. On the days that I&#8217;m eating healthy I&#8217;m climbing, on the day&#8217;s I&#8217;m not I&#8217;m sliding down that mountain.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s ok, that is what life is all about. I&#8217;ve just starting reading the 3rd book in the Whole30 series, Food Freedom Forever.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=tf_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=colleendrummo-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=0544838297&amp;asins=0544838297&amp;linkId=2afccfcf121ae5461c95fe2b33d7a676&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here is an extract from the book:<\/p>\n<p><em>Part of the Food Freedom plan includes you falling off the wagon, because you will, and I want to prepare you for that. What you are embarking upon is a constant cycle of progression, but it&#8217;s not linear. You&#8217;ll do well, then stumble. You&#8217;ll be in control, then fall back into old habits. You&#8217;ll have weeks of effortless balance, followed by (surprise!) a week of Carb-a-Palooza.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This is all totally okay.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what is happening with me. I do well for a few days and fall off the wagon. It&#8217;s like the mountain climb and then sliding down again. So after starting to read this book I&#8217;m actually feeling so much better about how I&#8217;m doing. (I haven&#8217;t finished the book, I&#8217;ve only just started it)<\/p>\n<p>One thing I have discovered since starting the Whole30 is that I&#8217;m now more aware of how food is affecting my body, whereas before I just ignored it and wasn&#8217;t interested in listening. I was enjoying the food too much, but now I&#8217;m listening. The trick is to take action and not have the foods that do effect me, which is a challenge, but I think feeling good after eating food is so much better for us.<\/p>\n<h2>Mindset<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m a big believer in that mindset is the key to everything. It&#8217;s all part of the Law of Attraction &#8211; &#8220;What you think about, you bring about&#8221;. So I&#8217;m working on changing how I think about a lot of things, and that includes food and eating. Each day it gets easier and better!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.colleendrummond.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mediterranean-346997_640.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-177 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.colleendrummond.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mediterranean-346997_640.jpg?resize=300%2C228\" alt=\"Eat Good Feel Good\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.colleendrummond.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mediterranean-346997_640.jpg?resize=300%2C228 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.colleendrummond.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/mediterranean-346997_640.jpg?w=640 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One day I will reach the top of that mountain, but in the meantime I&#8217;m just going to enjoy that climb.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 1467px; left: 37px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post Whole30 This has been an interesting time for me.
