so it is like you are creating your own story by walking during the day?

Finally got a new phone so I can run Season 2!!!! yup... specifically asked the clerk if the new phone will support Zombies, Run! :) You made a good fitness app choice for sure! :)

I am doing my second whole30 as well (becaue I completely went of kilter after my first one ended on dec. 2) I gained back all the weight I had lost, too. So here I am again!

I always just use my running playlist downloaded to my phone... I noticed that pandora doesnt work very well when I am running my gps tracking app.

Thank you! :)

ditto!! I agree that it is more than what is going on on the scale. I do feel "healthier" if that makes sense?? it is just an overall feeling. by then end of my sugar bindge (before whole30) I was feeling fat, tired, bloated, and mood swinging. those things are at least gone for me for the most part. Like I said, I still…

In light of what you have said, I would imagine that your skin issues have nothing (or very little) to do with your diet. i would seek medical assistance.

This is me too. I have my tired and not tired days. I don't have any "I feel awesome!" days like other folks. I think it may be because I didn't have any serious health complaints prior to doing my whole 30. I don't have IBS (that I know of), I don't think I was gluten intolerant, or any of the other things... I just ate…

if paleo allows almond milk, I will probably just stick with that anyway... I am not one to make things more complicated for myself just because. ;) (I think they call that lazy in some places??? :yawn: ) :laugh:

^^this^^ I think we all got the humor of it. :) Sorry that didn't come across in my post. :) I put the laughing smilie on there... ;) :laugh:

Day 6 and I am tired... someone else said that I am eating to many sweet things (fruit and sweet potato). :( this is going to be even harder now...

Thank you! :)

I signed up for an organic fruit and veggie weekly delivery of local foods. but I try to eat at least 6 cups of veggies per day, and have had sweet potatoes only 1 time so far i think? in the 6 days? my veggie mix consists of cabbage, carrots, onion, zucchini (or bell peppers), and celery. But I do tend to eat fruit every…

I only log to be able to go back and see what I am eating and also for others to help me when the time comes. I haven't been counting the calories but I am trying to keep my macros at a good ratio. I think my calories have been increasing since starting (will have to double check that)? directly before starting I had…

What brand did you buy?

I tried coconut milk (carton kind) and it didn't taste good at ALL!!! it was the "so Delicious" kind?? it tasted woody and thick and coated my mouth with a fatty film.... anyone have a better tasting brand?

sounds like what is needed is some other types of snacks pre-planned and ready to go. cook up some chicken breast and keep in the fridge. keep cut up veggies in bags to grab and go, that kind of thing? :)

^^this^^ however I do believe that sugar is addictive, not sure it is as bad as heroin. :laugh:

I like what everyone is saying here. Just remember, if you switch to paleo you are no longer buying things like cereal, chips, crackers, bread, mocha late's, cookies, candies, etc etc. all those things we mindlessly eat all day on TOP of our regularly scheduled meals. :)

Day 5 - headaches seem to be gone. :) food is getting easier to prepare and remembering not to mindlessly grab something like soy sauce when cooking. Work sucks because there is always some kind of junkfood in the breakroom. chocolate chip muffins is the fare of the day today. . :( But I am resisting. :)

Great job! and question for those who do this intermittently. are you doing paleo or primal all the other times? and then why would you do the 30 again? Just curious. I am on day 5 of my first ever 30.

Not sure if this was mentioned but... Slowcooker! :) You can get a small one if you don't like too many left overs. prep the items ahead, but cook them the morning of. :) Also, I make a HUGE bowl (if anyone is familiar with Tupperware mega bowl?) full of precut veggies all mixed up: about 4 carrots 1/2-1 cabbage 2 bell…

Also, many places now serve sweet potato fries, or yam fries. :)

is there a recipe? :) I made some totally yummy chicken soup last night from homemade broth. used turnips instead of potatos and I can't quite jive with the brussel sprout flavor of rutabaga. :wink:

I just started Whole30 and I am hungry almost all the time... eating half an avocado with each meal helps, or at least some type of fat. :)

this is a great question, thanks and thanks for responding!

I just started my first round of Whole30. i have had minor cheats (minuscule amount of butter on steamed veggies, and 1 special dark miniature bar, oh and a slice of cheese) This is day 3 only, so I guess that is not such a great start. I feel like I am going a bit crazy. I have felt hungry all day, because I didn't get to…

This... if cooking a thanksgiving dinner every day is your thing (or even any homecooked meal for that matter) then it would be exercise. I burned about 1000 calories more yesterday than on a typical workday because it was my daughters birthday and we cleaned and cooked most of the morning/afternoon. I am lucky to know…

ok, 29 total...

haha! :) But the I dont' think the forums are full of paleos. I am not really one, but I do believe in eating mostly veggies and meats and only one serving of starch/grain per day because my body doesn't do well with those...
