    I have done well and have had some issues with food variety but not to bad. I am looking forward to a couple of pumpkin ales.
    I did weigh myself and I am down 9.5 lbs so far. If I worked out like I normally do maybe it would have been more but I have a lot going on right now so workouts suffered. I am going till Sept 3rd, that is 30 days for me.

    Day 20 for me and things are great! I can't wait to weigh to see what the number is! I am loving the taste of REAL food! My headaches have stopped and joints feeling better!

    Day 26 for me, but I took my weight and measurements early since I'm starting a new workout program and needed numbers. Down 5 pounds and nearly 3 inches. At this point in my journey, any time I can average even a pound a week is awesome. And I feel amazing - sleeping like a rock, tons of energy, mental clarity, so much *get up and go* that I'm driving my husband nuts.

    It's been a horribly stressful month with loss of a family member, grandfather broke his hip, and my son going through behavioral issues. I know that if I weren't eating Whole30 - even as imperfectly as it's had to be at times - I would have fallen off the paleo wagon, gained weight and be paying the price physically.

    I'm planning to continue Whole30, but with a little paleo-friendly baking once in a while and weighing every two weeks. Even after having been paleo already for a year, I feel so much better I can't imagine going back!

    That's great! I was thinking the same this morning about stress and stuff this week. If I wasnt so rock solid into this plan, I would be eating junk all week. Im so glad the cravings are gone!

    Im so happy to be past cravings, too. I do have a thought after dinner that I want dessert, but I can tell that I'm not hungry and it's just a lingering habit. I'm having a cup of tea and feel better.

    Today is Day 18 for me - I have noticed that I have increased energy in the morning and I don't really get the "afternoon slump" like I used to. I've also noticed that I have been having fewer breakouts on my face which is awesome!

    One thing I am having trouble with is my snacking though... I recognize when I'm actually hungry and when I'm not, but I seem to just keep reaching for the snacks - all Whole30 foods, but still snacking nonetheless!
