2012 Whole Living Challenge – Week 2

30 April 2012

OK. Onto the detailed review.  This week was good.  Not as big of a change as the week before, but overall I like the way I feel.  I can see how some of the foods I used to eat on a regular basis were really making me tired.  And this week wasn’t hard at all.  I honestly am surprised I don’t miss cheese….coffee and wine, yes.  Bread is maybe the hardest…only because I went to Philly yesterday with my SIL and we had lunch at the reading terminal and there just weren’t many options for me. 

I am still sleeping great (well if I could keep the dogs out of the bed). And my energy level is good, I don’t have that crash after lunch or toward the end of the day.

New foods I’ve tried

Sea scallops – great! Just don’t overcook:)
Stripper fish – yummy!!
Alaskan Cod – I overcooked it but it has the potential to be good
Mango – not bad, the texture is kind of odd. I always imagined it to be sour and its not.
