Whole30, days 15-17

I just finished day 17 yesterday, so I'm going into day 18.  The past couple days have been awesome, but very hard.  It's been awesome because for over a week, I've been waking up at 4:15am and have been able to accomplish a lot before the kids wake up.  And I've been working out!  Woo hoo!  However, I am taking naps in the afternoon. Whole30 calls this energy "Tiger Blood."  Whatever it is, I am loving it!! But it has been very hard because I am hungry.  I am tired of knowing that vegetables and protein are an essential part of Whole30. And I am tired of eating those things.  I've been eating more fruit than suggested and have also been eating a lot of white potatoes, which are allowed but I'm sure it's limited because of its starch.  So besides eating lots and lots of fruit and starchy vegetables, I have not cheated!

So the positives of Whole30 so far:
- I am enjoying cooking healthy meals (shocker!)
- Even though I crave non-Whole30 foods, when I think about eating them, I get turned off knowing how it will make me feel
- I don't like to eat out anymore
- I will eat leftovers until they are gone (which lasts several days)
- Energy will come, you just have to be patient
- I can survive without dairy, bread, cookies, and sugar!!
