I've probably saved about $15 from not going to Starbucks
My clothes fit looser
My belt needs to be taken in one more notch in order for my pants to stay up
I feel stronger at the gym
I sleep better, and wake up before 9 a.m. without an alarm
AND feel awake
I feel happier!
Now that's a whole lot of changes in 14 days. Honestly, a part of me can't even believe it. All this is happening because of the way I'm eating? No not totally, but my lifestyle is definitely changing and that's impressive and telling to say the least. I feel good because I'm actively taking care of myself in the fullest sense; something I haven't done in a long time. I believe that as people we need to take care of ourselves emotionally, physically, mentally, relationally and spiritually. Clearly, I have not been able care for any of these facets well the past few month and it left me feeling gross and "not me." Emotionally, my job is a roller coaster. Physically, going from walking to driving everywhere quickly put 10 lbs. on my body I had no energy to get off. Mentally, I was tired. Relationally, I was burned out. Spiritually, I was lazy.
In late October to the beginning of November, God started shifting something inside of me. Now it was my turn to wake up, receive and stop whining. So I started talking to people I've been wanting to talk to, doing things I liked to do, going to the gym... And believe it or not, Whole 30 was the final push I needed to say, stop being sad about the things you don't like in your life and do something about it! Now, almost one year after moving to California, I'm starting to feel like myself again. It's no secret our move to Cali. has been harder on me than I ever thought it could be, but things are changing for the better, and I'm just saying, "Finally Tiffany! No more letting life pass you by." I don't credit Whole 30 for all the good stuff, but it's definitely part of the bigger shift that's happening in my life, and for that I'm so grateful. To Jesus, that is!
Week 2
Biggest success: ordering a Whole30 approved meal when dining out with G, when all I really wanted was the bread and pasta he was eating in front of me lol
Biggest struggle: not having enough variety of things to eat and letting myself get hungry too many times.
Let's go week three!
