Gina's 2018 Whole30

/

I have shared this google doc with over 50 people and I wanted it to have a permanent spot on my blog! I know some people don’t like to DM/comment (myself included a lot of the time) to see something and just want to swipe up and look at it real quick so here it is. I copied and pasted this from my original document from the Whole30 I did in January 2018. Fun fact- I was pregnant with Parker towards the end of this Whole30 and I didn’t even know it! I found out I was pregnant with Parker a couple weeks after on February 13th and surprised Craig on Valentine’s Day (he was SHOCKED and also I have no idea how I kept it to myself for 24 hours!!!). Also scroll all the way to the bottom for some photos from our life in January 2018 and a bunch of Whole30 meal photos!
