In 30 days I have lost 15 pounds and over five inches. Even when I was running about 20 miles a week and eating 1400 calories a day to lose weight before my wedding, my maximum weight loss was two pounds per week. Yes, the weight loss has slowed down since the beginning, but my clothes fit better and I feel amazing! Since I have chosen to take this way of life beyond the 30-day challenge, I have stopped stressing the numbers on the scale and started focusing on turning everything that I learned over the past month into a habit. The month of June taught me to be curious about food...the more curious I was, the more creative I became and I realized that there are so many options out there that are conducive to clean living.
I would like to congratulate my husband (Joel), our two friends and myself on our successful month! I urge everyone to at least try it...it's 30 days and what's the worst that could happen? Stay tuned because now that it's over, I have a lot of reflecting to do. That means I will be posting more recipes, of course, but also must-have ingredients as well as tools, and where to procure them on the cheap. I also plan to venture into making my own coconut and almond milk, and to also conquer the baking world. I look forward to sharing these new experiences with you all, and I hope to show you that the effort is worth it...because for me, it's not the destination but the journey that counts. I can't wait to see where this crazy ride will take me!
