Day 13 - Final day!


Final day!!!
I thought giving up bread and pasta would be hard but its been the easiest of all. Sugar not so much... Even having fruit I still want chocolate and to make some home made (health!) cookies and muffins soo bad..!

Since I've given up the pasta/breads I'll keep on going and start doing a semi-Paleo diet. 

I'm including yogurt, beans, lentil, and potatoes for a while to ease myself into it as I believe that would be hard to give up all starches right away. I find it would be very hard for me to give up plain yogurt of all the dairy products as I think it is so good probiotic-wise and it doesn't bother  my body to eat it.

More veggies for breakfast....
 I feel pretty good after doing the wild rose, although both me and my boyfriend have noticed our energy is lower the last few days. I'm sure it will pass!

Breakfast
Scrambled eggs with kale and beet greens
