Whole 30 challenge

Tomorrow starts my Whole 30 challenge. This will be the second time I have done this challenge. The first time was in November of last year. I was a year postpartum and really needed something to kick my butt into gear and get those last 15 pounds of baby weight off. 

I didn't take any measurements I just weighed which I used to do almost errry dang day!! So glad I kicked that habit. Now I usually weigh once or twice a week. 

The first week is usually the hardest cause your body is detoxing from all the crap we put in our system. By week 2 you can really tell a difference in your energy level! It can be a lot of work because you cook every meal. I usually try to cook a couple days worth at a time. Thankfully Brian is totally on board so I don't have to make multple meals. I can pretty much eat the same thing over and over for this. I find that having too many options makes me want to be less strict. 

Last time I lost about 15 pounds and have kept most of it off. I keep fluctuating with a 5 pound loss/gain. I'm ready to be back at my fighting weight!! Ha ha 

Seriously I am looking to lose 20 pounds, not in the next 30 days but def by the time summer rolls around. That would put me back to my high school weight! Watch out!!! I'm just so sick of feeling blah, between jacked up sleep and eating a bunch of processed junk I'm just ready to feel healthy again. I hope many of you will join me for this challenge.
