In July I decided to challenge myself and do the Whole 30 challenge. What is it? Well for 30 days you cut out certain foods from your diet and focus on eating clean and whole foods and rid your body of chemicals, processed foods, ailments, etc. For 30 days you avoid: alcohol, diary, processed foods, added sugars, carbs from grains and such. I learned a lot about myself, my body, food, and what is better for you.
I did lose 17 pounds which was great but it was more than just the weight loss. It was learning about new foods, trying new recipes,balancing my macros. All fresh foods of course. After the first week - which was the toughest - I started to feel amazing. I had energy. My skin felt great. My bloat was gone. Throughout the month it got a lot easier.
After day 30 - I of course celebrated! Best glass of wine EVER! I worked really hard to make sure I followed the program exactly and I did. However, the re introduction didn't go as well. SO.....here I go again. Round 2 coming up and I will read the re introduction chapter towards the end of the month and make sure THIS time......I do it right!
