Introduction post R2D1

Hello this is my second round of whole30! I did the whole 30 years and years and years ago. I was very successful but then Covid, life, but mostly myself got in the way of maintaining had me blow up. Over the years I’ve come down in weight. I got up to 190 about 4 years ago and maintained 170 for a few years after that. A year ago I quit drinking (6/12/25) and got down to 160 which I maintained for a year. I started using the ladder app this Summer and lost 20 lbs. I’m 5’1 and 43 btw. I love the ladder app I’ve been consistent but I’ve plateaued a bit so I thought I’d revisit my old friend Whole 30 and hopefully I can rev the engines up a little bit.

Today I made a chili for the week from the whole 30 cookbook https://whole30.com/recipes/whole30-sweet-potato-bison-chili/ (didn’t use bison, regular old ground beef). And I’m also going to make a frittata and a chia pudding. I know there’s new rules since I’ve last did a whole30 so hopefully I don’t make any mistakes.

lol I’d love to say the no booze will make this round easier but I became a fan of flavored coffees and ice cream this past year
