Here I am, already with two weeks under my belt and only 2 weeks + 2 days to go. This week was a bit tougher than the first but I powered through. According to the authors of Whole30, days 10 and 11 seem to be the hardest but if you can make it through to day 16, they call it tiger blood! I will let you know what "tiger blood" feels like, I will be there tomorrow! Friday at the office I had to walk past bagels and cream cheese from Einsteins and an assortment of muffins all day, but I refrained! 🙌🏼 I had some serious cravings for my healthy pancakes this week (rolled oats, egg whites, cottage cheese and blueberries) and am getting kind of tired of eating eggs every morning. You can bet your a** I will be adding my oatmeal back FIRST in the reintroduction phase but I won't have it every day. Whole30 has taught me to branch out and try different things for breakfast, most of them are almost as simple as oatmeal and many of them are delicious (I loved my Sunday breakfast this week). My other favorites this week were the salmon patties (Tuesday) and sweet potato mash (Saturday)
