I have felt the need to go on this journey for quite some time and cannot TELL you how glad I am. It is the PERFECT combination of doing it myself as far as motivation and drive and then someone guiding me and helping me along. I really feel you are what you eat now and clean eating is making me feel soooo much better inside! =) I can't tell you how grateful I am to have such good followers who are motivating and eager to see others succeed. You guys ROCK!!!

Courageo...Thank you for putting yourself out there. Courageous and admirable. I think the majority of women can relate to something you wrote about. On January 1, 2013, I did the Whole 30 elimination diet. Have you heard of it? I am small, too. 5' 3.5." Not sure how tall you are, but it does come into play. I followed the Whole 30 to a tee (except for the fact that I "cheated" by weighing myself at least 3 times within the month). I needed some motivation to continue on the detox/eating style, and wow!--it sure gave me some motivation. I lost 5 lbs in 8 days---past the water weight time lapse. Within the 30 days, I ended up losing 10 lbs total, and was 2 lbs below my goal weight of 122. I was astounded! By eating high quality proteins at each meal, combined with veggies and a healthy fat, the weight melted off, and I felt great! (I had just turned 35, btw, and I have two boys of 4 1/2 and 2 1/2.) Over the years, I had always subscribed to eating 5-6 smaller meals, balancing proteins and carbs, and trying not to eat much processed food. When you do an elimination detox like the Whole 30, it really shows you just how much you were starving at a cellular level, were lacking nutrition, and how eating nutrient dense, properly prepared foods really promotes optimal health. I can't wait to hear about your program and am happy for you that you are having success! <3 Love your blog. I am new to it, and I thank you for your tutorials and humor. :) Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853177650716962735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173270303840896792.post-11051966200554556232013-03-13T08:52:52.144-07:002013-03-13T08:52:52.144-07:00Hi Jen!

I'm horrible at commenting, but I love checking in and seeing your recommendations and tutorials...and wishing I could pull it all off as beautifully as you do! ;) I just wanted to tell you I'm so excited for you and look forward to hearing about the challenge. I am definitely lacking in the motivation area and would love to get in better shape. Thanks for your inspiration and all you share--I wish I would've gotten to know you better in Rexburg, you are so awesome!! Tell Kevin I say hi! :)Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086766836431346529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173270303840896792.post-29774211239814985162013-03-10T14:45:10.958-07:002013-03-10T14:45:10.958-07:00I have loved your blog for a long time.
