Day 15 Whole30-Half way there!

As I write this post, I am thinking back to what has transpired over the last 15 days. Although I started my Whole30 already eating paleo, I was still eating 'paleo' baked goods and other 'paleo-ish' foods. I am still in the weight loss portion of my paleo journey and still have quite a way to go so I needed to refocuse my priorities and eat right.
In the beginning I had cravings. A lot actually. But each day gets a little easier. I can't say I don't have ANY cravings because everyday I see posts about this paleo goody or that. But I don't obsess about it and I find I am able to ignore it now whereas before it would consume me.
I also have noticed that I have quite a lot more energy. I do not feel sluggish in the middle of the day at work and hardly every sit down on the weekends when I am busy 'hunting and gathering'. My biggest piece of advice I can give anyone starting paleo or Whole30 is to PLAN! Plan your meals. At least a few days in advance if not for a week. If you know what you are going to eat you tend to stick to it. Every Sunday I plan my breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and even my snacks!
If this gets easier each day, I expect that by day 30 it will be a piece of cake! Yes, I said cake!

  1. I started my whole30 back in March... still going strong. And if you decide NOT to feed the sugar monster (even with fruit), he dies.... take it from a former sugar addict... I'm sure you'll rock it! :)
