Day 15 of the Whole30 - Halfway There!!!

To tell you the truth I didn't think I would make it to the halfway point. I thought I would've caved-in on my birthday and ordered up a couple coin style margaritas or slightly dirt martinis. Or would've cheated while I was out of town. 

The question is...what's keeping me going...??? 

I mean I didn't think I need to make any drastic changes to my diet, I just wanted to detox after the holidays. I don't eat that bad, but I didn't eat that clean either. I remember saying to many, 'I workout a lot so I can eat whatever I want'. What a crock of shit! Now that I'm eating clean and not drinking I'm beginning to understand the real reasons I decided to do the Whole30 wholeheartedly. But in order to mentally and physically understand the reasons I had to actually experience them which doesn't really occur until halfway time (TODAY, DAY 15). 

Top reasons I'm going to keep in keeping on...

1. I'm sleeping better...I'm talking about quality sleep, not waking up throughout the night...This morning, for example, I woke up at 4:45am and jump out of bed to teach the first day of my 2nd Ladies CrossFit program...

2. My cloths fit better (aka I feel sexier)...I feel the little extra tire around my belly disappearing...

3. My mind works better, I'm more focused and clearer...I heard of brain fog, but I didn't know I had it until I lost it...

4. My energy is through the roof...I'm feeling stronger and fitter than ever...

5. My mood is more positive than it's been in a very long time...I'm smiling from the inside out:-)

6. My skin is brighter...A few people even said I was glowing...

7. I am more mindful and grateful when I eat...

8. Last, but not least...I'm more confident...Bring It On!!!
