Here I am! 4 days after I started this crazy lifestyle change. It feels like SO long ago when I last had coffee or sugar or BREAD! but it's been a very fun challenge thinking of full meals to eat that still taste amazing and make my body actually feeeeel amazing. Josiah keeps me on track during late nights where I feel like ripping my hair out, but during the days I have been feeling great with already improved energy and mood improvements.
I actually tried to go through with this diet a few years ago, and I only lasted a month. I think it was short-lived because I felt like I needed to eat super bland, simple foods to stay within the guidelines of the endo diet, but that's simply not true! It's nice because most Whole30 recipes are all refined sugar free, wheat free, dairy free, etc, so I've really enjoyed following some inspiring cooks on Instagram and drooling over their recipes.
My favorite meal thus far has been a chicken and brown rice dish I made. SUPER simple, but I was feeling creative and came up with a FAB sauce to pair these with. I have yet to come up with a name for it, but for now let's call it:
Spicy Coco-Tomato-Yum Sauce
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1 large organic Roma Tomato (diced)
1/2 organic Yellow Onion (chopped)
4 large crushed Cloves of organic Garlic
Lemon juice
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper to taste
Basically just throw it all in a saute pan and simmer for as long as you would like! I let mine simmer for about 20 minutes for the tomatoes to really soak in.
It has the BEST coconutty, spicy, tomato flavor ever ever. and it's endo diet approved!

I've also had some great salads, of course! I've been using olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, with fresh basil to taste for dressings :)
I have been craving PB&Js sooo so much at night for some reason (when I'm at my weakest and all I want is junk food!) so Josiah created this fabbbb PB&J substitute snack! It's just apple slices, organic peanut butter sweetened a tad with organic raw agave nectar, topped with a raspberry! Best. Snack. Ever. I ate a huge portion of it today because I loved it so much on Saturday night!
All in all, it's been a good start. I'm just taking this one day at a time, always focusing on how this will hopefully help me beat my endometriosis. BOOM!
