Who knew there was this big, wide Whole30 world? I’m thinking a Whole30 daily log will help keep me on track. I started Whole30 on January 1, 2018. It was sort of on a whim.

I am truly scared to weigh myself. I went out on my birthday in September to get new jeans. After spending months wearing elastic-banded skirts — I live in hot Nevada — I truly had no idea that I could no longer fit into my size 8 and standby size 10 jeans anymore. How do I weigh this much? I didn’t … Read more
