I am finishing the 3^rd week of my Whole 30 program; my last day will be July 3^rd.  I am not seeing real weight loss, but I am seeing a loss of inches, which I will be happy to announce on July 4^th.  I have not experienced the withdrawal symptoms that many people have reported, but that may be because I had been eating fairly healthy and removing grains and sugars from my diet for the proceeding 6 weeks or so.

This morning my department was in a 4-hour training session, we were notified there would be breakfast type snacks available.  I asked if there would be fruit available as I was not eating donuts or muffins and was told, “Sorry, only donuts.”   I stopped by a restaurant and picked up some scrambled eggs and mixed fruit to eat in front of everyone else that were eating donuts.  I actually went up and opened the donut boxes to look at them; I had no interest in eating one.  I did find myself looking longingly at a platter of cookies that was sitting in an auditorium yesterday.  And the worst time I had was an evening when I wanted something to eat that was not in the house and that was translating into something sweet.  I drove into Poulsbo, picked up a steak, dates and cherries, and made my famous fruit bars.  I satisfied my cravings for sugar while staying Paleo although I probably did blow my carb allotment for the day.
