The whole foods/clean eating is going great! I feel so good. I have much more energy. I’m so inspired to do more. And, possibly best of all, my clothes are looser! I promise to get my thoughts up about some prior days with photos this week! I swear, I promise! Cross my heart!

And, I hope to get some photos up of the house organizing that I’m accomplishing. It’s awesome! I love a clean and organized house!

But, in the meantime, here are a few more days of menus. And, if you’d like to read why I started this healthy clean eating, here’s part 1. And, some of my inspiration is pinned on my Healthy restore recover cleanse board on Pinterest.
