FOUR weeks down and TWO days to go! I am sooooo excited to have completed this challenge. I am literally counting the meals (nine) until I get to have oatmeal. I am breaking out my awesome rice cooker and setting it up to have a fresh batch of steel cut oats ready for me first thing Wednesday morning. So embarrassing how excited I am about oatmeal. 🙄 From a feeling standpoint, I didn't feel much different week 4 versus week 3 and I have definitely settled into a groove with the meals I like. I am a creature of habit so once I find something I like, I will just eat the same thing over and over. Unfortunately that doesn't make for a very exciting blog post but there are a few new things sprinkled throughout the week. And you know how I said I wasn't going to eat those awesome Whole30fied pancakes until the challenge was over? I lied. 😒
