Whole30 (attempt) 2.14

Day 14 

I've been at it for two weeks and this second week has seemingly gone by a lot faster than the first. 

I was reading a few blogs where they decided to quit Whole30 around the half-way point. These writers noted exhaustion, lack of variety with foods, the expense of buying food that was not processed the time it took to buy and prepare said foods. Although, many of these blogger were already health food life-stylists; they lived a relatively healthy lifestyle through their consumption—financially and with food. I would have to agree with the expense in buying food.

No, I am not quitting the Whole30. In fact, I'm still excited to continue as I am noticing a difference with inflammation. But it is not cheap. Since I am keeping fairly detailed track of my expenses, I need to note, at (approximately) the halfway point I have spent $270.28 in groceries.
