It's about African-American blues musicians in Germany and France during WWII. Once you get past the language (1940s blues lingo, which I wasn't very familiar with but maybe you're fluent?!), it's a really good book.<br /><br />Also, I really enjoyed "Band Of Brothers." I only started watching it because in the last episode of Season Six of Friends, it said that Ross (David Schwimmer) wasn't in it because he was already filming Band Of Brothers. So of course I got it out of the library and David Schwimmer's character is a jerk but I was drawn in. So I would say, give it another chance. It's brutal but soooo interesting.<br /><br />Also, I was talking to Janice today and, thanks to this blog post, she is giving up sugar for a month. She was inspired by your Whole 30 commitment. Maybe between the two of you, you'll be a good influence on me :)Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350800415772519653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-19694716320527562162015-05-08T21:28:27.538-04:002015-05-08T21:28:27.538-04:00Life after life by Kate Atkinson.

Books, movies, tv shows. She's your girl. I on the other hand am your girl to help out with whole 30. You eat everything that you can (so nothing) and illeat everything else. It seems like a lot of work but as I've lived off of carbs for the last 8 weeks, I'm pretty sure I can help you out.

Hello! I should be your go-to for heavy, studious topics like that! :)<br /><br />But, yes, there is a 10-part miniseries called The Pacific that was produced by the same team as Band of Brothers. It is phenomenal and based off of two very good WWII books (A Helmut for my Pillow and With the Old Breed). Difficult to watch - graphic and (from my grandfather's view, a Pacific vet and POW of the Japanese) one of the most gruesome parts of the war. BUT, an interesting part of our history to understand.

Days 4 and 5 are the worst of it with regard to sugar crashes, cravings will come and go throughout (mine were mostly at the end). Power through your first week, it's definitely the hardest, and just remember that it's ONLY 30 days -- you can do anything for 30 days! Oh and food prep is absolutely the key to success here!
