Day 16, we're half way there!

Earlier today I was thinking "Damn, there is so much whole30 left to do!" As much as I am enjoying this go-around, I feel like the days are creeping by. However, after counting the days from November 23rd when we started, we're already at day 16! How exciting! I'm feeling really good and today I received a compliment from a woman in one of my group fitness classes. She said I looked like I had lost weight; which I don't know if that's a compliment or not but it made me feel good because I feel like I AM losing weight. Last night I had a crazy stomach pains and was way bloated and gassy. I may have over done it on the fiber because yesterday I mostly ate fruit and sweet potatoes (poor planning on my part). It felt like a rock in the bottom of my stomach. Either way, feeling better today. I'm happy to report that I have felt no urge to cheat or stray from whole30 compliant foods. Which is surprising because in previous whole30ies I slipped up once or twice. I think I'm just keeping my eye on the prize and really tapping into how I'm feeling. I'm trying to program my mind to tell my body "You feel really good without eating terrible food, so why stop now?" Still, I'm looking forward to my one cup of eggnog and a couple of my dad's famous Christmas cookies, but I am going to try my hardest to not stray too much once the whole30 is over and I go home for Christmas. I'm really happy with my clean eating habits so I truly shouldn't have a reason to cock it up too badly! Here's to the next 14 days...two weeks! Whoa!!!
