The fam is still sick but we are all recovering. We got rest, had a nice day and I got myself a long 90 minute massage. It was awesome.

day 7.
As I typed that I realized I am actually aiming for a Whole 33 because I might as well just start reintroduction once a weekend hits.
Meal 1: Lara bar [then my boot camp workout] then hashbrown and hot tea
Snack 1: Smoothie made with coconut milk, blueberries and a few dates
Meal 2: Paleo nachos with hot sauce and black coffee

I felt better after eating my larger meals today so I will try to pack larger portions for work.
After 1 week I still feel committed and I am hoping week two brings more smiles and less of an emotional rollercoaster because this past week was a doozy.
So I am drinking my lemon sparkling water and catching up on my DVR after Claire goes to bed - how was your first week?
