A 2nd and Different Whole30

climberchic

Good morning ALL!!! Today starts my second round of Whole30. Big difference this time though. I will be working out too! Can't wait for the results.

So, a little background. I started my first Whole30 on August 19th and finished September 17th. I felt great the whole time and ate wonderful food. So, last Monday, I dove off the wagon and ate some junk everyday all last week. I noticed immediately the difference. I didn't have as much energy, the fatigue was back! I noticed my skin wasn't as healthy either. It was amazing to me how quickly everything was affected. Kind of a science experiment, you could say.

I gained 5 lbs in 6 days. I gained a 1/2 inch in my waist and 1 inch in my hips. IN 6 DAYS!!! Really? Crazy. I have no doubt that alot of it is water weight, but we will see. Even though the whole 30 states you cannot weigh or measure, I am going to because I am curious as to see if I can turn it back around in a week and to show progress weekly with adding the workouts.

Pretty excited!!

I'm starting my second one of the year tomorrow. I loved how I felt and it was great to really stick to a plan for once.

This time around I'm going to try incorporating more exercise into my routine. Last time, I was working over 60 hours a week and felt like I didn't have time for exercise. Now with the slow season starting at work there is no excuse!

Do you have any favorite recipes for your Whole30?

Good luck! Curious to hear your results

Hello there! Good luck to you and working out! Work really puts a damper on working out.

I know I will be struggling with time, but going to try to make it work.

Favorite recipes? Well I'm totally addicted to this salad I eat pretty much with every meal. Arugula, baby spinach, kale, radishes, red cabbage, strawberries and sprinkle of walnuts. Dressing I use Balsamic vinegar with a little pepper added. Its soooooo good. Like a dessert. I'm going to try and switch it up a little this time though and really incorporate the coconut and olives. (Didn't really do that last time)

That salad sounds awesome.

Thanks llw! It is quite good.

So, today is Day 3 and I weighed myself this morning. Already down 3 lbs, that really tells me it was alot of water weight. I won't weigh again until next Monday morning but wanted to check today. So far so good. This time around I feel the cleansing effects a little. I was pretty tired yesterday with a small headache in the afternoon and a little tired today.

I know it won't take long to turn it around though. Didn't work out or run yesterday which is a bummer but I was super tired. I did however go to bed late on sunday due to a 8 hour road trip so that COULD be a contributing factor too. We will see how the rest of the week goes. Good luck to all of you who are also doing it!!

Good morning All!! Another beautiful day. Feeling amazing and have discovered sweet potatos again and steamed cauliflower. (wow does cauliflower fill you up!)
I said I wasn't going to weigh again until monday but couldn't resist. I mean the scale is RIGHT THERE!

Another 1.9lbs down! I really am amazed and feel much better knowing that a week didn't completely throw me off of my progress. Here is to another successful day.

Take care and enjoy your weekend!!

Day 11 on my second go around. Haven't been exercising like I said I was going to BUT I am still seeing major progress. I am super excited and enjoying the food I am eating. Sweet potatoes are my new fav right now.
