Man, is it Wednesday already? I swear time is in like fast forward or something. We are just a week away from the launch of our dietbet challenge, are you ready?! I’m so excited. I’ve been reading It Starts With Food like crazy and trying to think about how to avoid the normal holiday traps… One of my downfalls is Starbucks. I love a good latte! I’ve been trying to figure out substitutes and I think I found one. I’m not sure this is “whole30” approved… but it has a heck of a lot less calories than an eggnog latte!

The last few days have been a bit of a blur. My BFF came to visit and we had a ton of fun, but it went by so fast! Because it has been a bit crazy, I have some random pictures of what my eats have looked like lately. Linking up with Jenn from Peas and Crayons for WIAW!
Homemade Paleo Pizza (Crust recipe here) – West Allen Grill, Grilled Chicken Salad- Banana Soft Serve topped with Food Should Taste Good Chocolate Tortilla Chips.
Yes, you read that right. Chocolate Tortilla Chips. They were sent to me from Food Should Taste Good as a part of their Holiday Simple Survival Kit.
It also included goodies from Justin’s Nut Butter (that didn’t last very long after opening), Larabar, Little Duck Organics, SmartWool, Spout Wellness, and Teatulia. Everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing!
What’s your favorite holiday drink?

I just started reading It Starts With Food too. Very interesting so far even though I’m a semi-vegetarian.
Love the chai recipe!

I love peppermint tea. I’m not much of a coffee drinker but if I was, I would LOVE this. It looks so warm and cozy. All I’d need are comfy PJ’s and I’d be set. 🙂

That survival kit looks amazing! And ISWF was a super insightful book! I did the Whole30 and it was a huge challenge. Mentally, physically, emotionally! I think everyone should do it at least once in their life. It’s only 30 days! 🙂

Are the chocolate tortilla chips good? I love all the FSTG chips I’ve tried but never could bring myself to buy the chocolate ones.
Yup, I dyed it! Wanted something a little different and felt like I’d earned the right to go a little crazy with all my progress at CrossFit. The store is called “Born to Run” – it’s a minimalist boutique running store that just started carrying some CrossFit gear. Love it!
