The Whole28 and a Half : Last Week...Wow.
Week Five. Boom.
At this time, may I welcome you to this new relationship with food!
On this beautiful Sunday morning, I quietly scamper downstairs (because even though it's my "day off," I'm up before 7am...) to start this final week of the challenge on the right foot. Upon making it to the kitchen, I realize we are completely out of coffee. NEVER FEAR! I'm not dependent on any food or beverage to start my day. A full glass of water and some time free of puppy madness. It's the perfect time to reflect on the fact that I' have made some awesome new habits in the past few weeks.
As fanciful as a big' ol' stack of pancakes could be right now at a relaxing and possibly gluttonous Sunday brunch, I'm far more excited for a power boost of eggs and turkey sausage to get me through lifting at the gym later this morning. Because that's really what's going to help me out. This is me using food to power my day, not "improve" it. That's my job with every choice I make, from not letting it frustrate me that we were out of coffee at 6:45 in the morning, to going to the gym and taking care with my body, to spending time with my fella today before he hops on a plane tomorrow and it's just me and the mongrels for a few days. New habit: Seeing the bigger picture.
Leveled UP.
Today is just a short post to wish you well on these last few days and to get us to start recognizing these new HABITS we've created and how we intend to incorporate them back into "regular life" once The Whole28.5 Challenge comes to a close. I promise to provide plenty of information and references to help us along with that process!
Reading Assignment for the Win
Let's revisit this article over on The Whole30.com about the Timeline of this kind of challenge. Albeit, we've got Four More Days of Awesomeness than Whole30-ers, but I feel the same thoughts might currently apply to this week and their discussion of Days 28-30.

Continue to have a truly lovely weekend, enjoy the sunshine, the Autumnal-Goodness, maybe a workout and some good food today. Meet me back here tomorrow so we can finish this week out RIGHT!
And remember, guys: we are doing awesome.
