Round 2!!

Tomorrow I start another round of the Whole30 Challenge!!  This time, I will go 40 days (Lent).  :o)

Since I finished the Whole30 Challenge, I haven't done so well.  I've strayed quite often from the paleo/primal diet.  My plan to only cheat once a week didn't work out as well as I hoped.  Turns out, I'm tempted by sugar and unhealthy foods more than I thought.  :/ 

I feel that if I can do this challenge again, I will hopefully get rid of my taste for sugars and unhealthy foods, including pizza.  I want to have a "reason" to avoid these foods.  These past few weeks I found myself allowing junk like sweets, pizza, and pop too often.

So this time around, I'm going to allow red wine,the occasional bit of cheese, and Truvia/Stevia .  I think I will be very successful with this, and should be able to keep this going past the 40 days of Lent. 

As of today, I am down around 14 lbs since January 1st.  It's a good start, but I need more!! 

So tomorrow being Ash Wednesday, I think I will fast until sometime later in the day.  Will have fish for dinner, along with some vegetables.  Fridays will always be fish days! I've got tuna, tilapia and cod...so I'll be experimenting with some new fish recipes.

I don't plan to write a post everyday, but most likely every other day or so...  so please comment and follow along!

What is everyone else "giving up" for Lent??  Comment below!
