How far in are you?

I'm having to restart. I was 25 days in and then ate a tortilla. I was hosting our annual "Flute Fiesta" Friday night for my flute students and had been cooking for hours. The kids kept on saying "fix you a plate," and I made a fajita without even thinking about it and didn't realize it until halfway through.
Lesson learned. A lot of my poor eating has always been because I was on "auto-pilot." Meal prepping is my saving grace because I can go on auto-pilot and not worry about things.
My daughter has just now decided to join me for the restart, but the majority of her meals have been on plan for the past several weeks. My child, who used to pack granola bars and Oreos for her lunch, is voluntarily taking bell peppers, grapes, and carrots for lunch side items. She's become much more adventurous in her eating--she even tried lamb last week!

To each their own, I totally understand, but I personally wouldn't feel like you need to restart. Whole30 is an incredibly strict diet and I doubt the one slip would offset your progress. Regardless, good luck! Looking to do my 3rd round in the next month or so.

I was planning on just continuing this past 30 days anyway, so I'm not too upset about restarting.
Thank you! Good luck to you as well!

I haven't heard of the Yai's Thai curry before - does it taste as good as it sounds? Just bought the 3 pack form their website.

It's quite good! Needs some salt, but otherwise we like it. The red is really hot. We have tried the red and green so far.

Sweet Potato Chili
Healing Chicken Soup
Chicken Curry Stirfry with Cauliflower Rice and Yai's Thai Red Curry Sauce
Grapes, Apples, Carrots, Orange Bell Peppers, Cashews, Almond Butter (in the small containers)
We have eaten some 2 bowls of soup, 2 bowls of curry, and 1 bowl of chili so far (we cooked yesterday) and shared 3 large containers of each item with my boyfriend who has strep throat this week (thus the Healing Chicken Soup), yet we still have enough to last us all week.
My daughter is 13 and actually wanted to go on Whole 30 with me because she likes these recipes.
