Decided to do a lightly modified Whole30 starting Jan 2 and I’m actually really excited about it?? I did Whole30 a couple years ago and it turns out if I stop eating junk food for a month I feel great, who knew. The downside is that I’m going to be crabby the first week of January, sorry in advance
