Whole 30 Week 2 Recap

As expected this week was harder than last because the newness wore off and reality set in. I think we were successful in most areas and can still improve a few things before our 30 days are over.

So, let's get into it! I've tried to link up compliant brands and recipes where applicable.

Final Thoughts!
-Preparation is key! Traveling with my lunch on Saturday definitely felt good to commit to what we've set out to accomplish. 
-Really trying to keep our meals varied, but it's hard. Lots of sweet potato and eggs...
-We didn't weigh ourselves before we started. Wish we would have taken the time to do that so we know the actual results when we finish. Although it's already a win for feeling better as a baseline.
-Sleeping and energy level has never been better!
