Repeated yesterday's meals exactly...how unoriginal haha. I was pretty cranky at the end of the day. No more tiger blood for me it seems. I'm pushing through to the finish though! I'm thinking of extending this round a bit more, maybe doing it for an extra 15 days, making this a Whole45. If I can keep going, I might even attempt a Whole60. We'll see what happens!

Day 31: Results

This has been my most successful Whole30 yet! 

NSV's: nails are strong and growing again and I'm doing my best to not bite them, I think I have beaten my sugar addiction as I no longer crave chocolate or other sweets and would rather have fruit instead, my skin has cleared up considerably, I am sleeping much better than before and I am waking up with more energy that lasts throughout the day.

Most importantly, I'm starting to feel good about myself again. I lost around 15 pounds this round, but have gained so much more in confidence. I also started exercising again and am trying to get in 5 miles a day with my fitbit. I hope to continue with the Whole30/Paleo lifestyle because these results are too good to throw away. I'll be switching over to the Post-Whole30 log page, so to keep up with the accountability. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and checked out my log!
