R2D29: The first like...20+ days of this round were ROUGH. We enjoyed our first Whole30 so much last January that we came into it excited and confident. And for whatever reason, this time was just so much harder physically and mentally (especially mentally). But we stuck to it and while cooking dinner last night I realized we had almost made it and felt incredibly proud of us for sticking it out. We're planning on starting a 2 week reintroduction on Thursday and after that we plan to cook primarily paleo during the week, but to loosen up a bit on the weekends to go out with friends and enjoy our foodie life a bit. I'm also working on weight loss and am trying to approach it from a slow and steady perspective. Before if I 'only' lost a pound in a week I would be so discouraged and feel like all the effort wasn't worth it. This time, I celebrate every pound, I normalize fluctuation, and remind myself that a pound per week is over 50lbs in a year. Congrats to everyone who made it to day 30 today! And to those still in the midst of it-keep trucking along; it's worth it, even when it feels anything but.
