I shared the beginning of my Whole 30 (diet) experiences two months ago from the date of this post, and had said I’d follow up with more stories and learnings through the end of the eating plan commitment.

Just returned from a super-fun weekend in a little town in the mountains northwest of Boulder (about a 3 hour drive) called Steamboat Springs. I have been there a couple times before, but it’s been a while.
