We completed this first week of Whole 30. Here are my thoughts on the first week...
Well, I haven't lost my cravings like I had hoped. I wanted to quit last night for just one bite of a graham cracker!! No, REALLY!!
I prayed it away and feel better for doing so. I just could not justify all the good eating of this week for one weakness moment!
Planning the next 3 Weeks ahead having easy Breakfast, Salad or leftovers for Dinners, and Whole 30 Compliant Suppers! Will be plugging along with anyone willing to join in the fun!
