The day that I never thought would come has arrived. I have finished my second Whole 30. If you've been following along, you know that it hasn't been an easy process (if not, check out my updates from Week One, Week Two and Week Three). There have been cravings, sleep deprived nights, breakouts reminiscent of …

Week one was smooth sailing. Week two presented a few hurdles, but I emerged successful. Week three, however, has felt like a true test of my commitment.
