WOW – week 4 of the January Whole30!  I hope by now you have begun to feel some of the positive side effects of the program and that your cravings have subsided.  If you are following the Whole30 Timeline, we have entered the “Tiger Blood” phase.  For some, this is the point where the switch has been flipped, meaning you’re sleeping better, experiencing less cravings and your energy is soaring.  For others, it is a time where you starting to reassure yourself that you can do this and that you are doing this!  You might notice your mood is better, you’re becoming more comfortable in the kitchen or that your energy is steadier throughout the day.  If you are not experiencing this much talked about phase of “Tiger Blood”, don’t panic or be hard on yourself.  Every person’s Whole30 experience is different.  Some started the program with an already healthy lifestyle, systemic inflammation, medical conditions, or high levels of stress.  There are endless factors that makes each person’s Whole30 journey unique.  Your “Tiger Blood” might take longer to appear or may be more gradual.  Check out the Whole30’s Non-Scale Victory Checklist to help keep yourself motivated or shed some light on positive changes that you may be experiencing without even realizing.  

Stay strong during week 4!  Search for new recipes, add a little extra movement to your day and remember 30 days is 30 days!
