Final Day of my Whole30!
So, I started at 185 point something pounds. And my final weigh in is a little sad at 181.4. However, I did prove to myself I could say "no" to unhealthy foods for 30 days- that is definitely an accomplishment! RULES I STUCK TO: - I did not eat grains for 30 days. RULES I DID NOT STICK TO 100%: - I think legumes snuck in…

Day 25 and 26 My Anniversary Weekend
OK so broke a lot of rules...not a great last week of my whole 30. It officially fizzled brcause of my choices this weekend. Maybe I will finish strong my last 4 days! Day 25: Saturday, April 30 My anniversary! Wahoo! Married 5 years! Meal 1: Banana pancakes made with banana, eggs, and almond flour. Added some maple syrup…

Day 24 I'm sooo lazy when I have a cold
This nasty cold is going on forevverrrr. Not fun. I also broke my vow and checked my weight again. It kinda sucks to know that I have had zero weight loss since my first week and a half. I started at 185, and I think during my first week and a half I got down to around 179.5, but now I am hovering at 180. I had not started…
-
Day 23 - Eggs are BACK
My never-ending cold continues but I had eggs for supper which is a good sign that I'm almost through the worst of it and I think I'm slowly getting back to my old self. Still calling this my "Not so whole30", but I refuse to give up on the primary objectives of the whole30- no grains, no legumes. M1: organic mozz cheese…

Day 22- Went to the Gym and Now I'm Motivated!
So, I feel good this morning, motivated even! My cold has progressed to include a mild cough today in addition to my stuffy nose and sore throat. I went to the gym this morning and spent 10 minutes doing very light excercise on the ellipitacal before I met with a trainer and he showed me how to use/adjust strength…
-
Day 21 No appetite for healthy foods like eggs, meat, or veggies, unfortunately
The "Not-So-Whole30" continues... And the sore throat and stuffy nose continues... And lack of appetite, which is not great for eating healthy foods! Meal 1: Piece of organic mozzarella cheese (for protein), and a banana (I feel like in my case eating dairy is better than munching on crackers because at least this way I am…
-
Day 20- I'm sick now too :( Treated myself a little too much LOL
Warning- don't eat like this on your whole30. I plan to start over eventually but I plan to see this through all 30 days without going back to my old standard of donuts, sugary coffee, and fast food. I think eating eggs almost every morning and salads everyday for lunch is a big improvement over that. So, back to the…

Day 18 and 19 Weekend with sick kids
Saturday, April 23- Day 18 Meal 1: Scrambled eggs ans Banana pancakes made with mashed up bananas, eggs, and almond flour. And I did partake in some maple syrup. It was glorious.

Day 16- Whole 30 Dying Off????
So obviously I'm not perfect and the Whole30 says it is only 30 days it is not as hard as beating cancer...but I still couldn't stick with everything perfectly. However, like I have been saying. I am NOT starting over. Why make myself feel like what I have accomplished is a big waste? That is my take on it any way. I am…

Day 17 - Already Planning for AFTER Whole 30
I found this brown rice "hot cereal" by Bobs Red Mill that I am going to try out AFTER the whole 30. I will probably add applesauce and cinnamon or some other kind of fruit to it, and almond milk....not sure yet. Today I have eaten: Meal 1: Banana, and other half of endangered species 88% dark chocolate bar. Yeah I…

Day 14 and 15
Two busy days (work-wise). This is usually the time I ultimately give up with the Whole 30 in past attempts. However, even though it is getting difficult, I am going to keep working towards the goal. Day 14- Tuesday Weird day at a technical conference with supplied lunch. Meal 1: Hardboiled eggs, and apple and a little bit…

Day 13 Not a great day but made it through
We just got back from traveling for the weekend and no hard boiled eggs left and I ran out of time in the morning to have breakfast so I packed some stuff. Well, I thought my last Aidelles chicken and apple sausage had gone bad so I tossed it. So Meal 1 ended up being: apple and almond butter Meal 2: Almost skipped this…

Day 12 Success at in-laws!
Well, we are home now and I am proud of myself for staying out of the cabinets and candy bowls... Not a lot of options for veggies at their house but I ate a TON of carrots at least. I went through a whole (small) bag of baby carrots today. Meal 1: scrambled eggs, tuna patty, and a banana Meal 2: Deli Turkey and Roasted…

Day 11. At family's house for the weekend!
So I thought this weekend would be really difficult. My in-laws have candy and unhealthy snacks and desserts everywhere throughout the house taunting me from candy jars and bowls. It is pretty bad how much junk food is here...it is every kids dream. Today I kept busy and went shopping for new glasses. Looked at…

Day 8- checked weight..here is a vow not to the rest of the 30 days
I lost 6 lbs my first week. I didnt starve myself. I ate whenever I was hungry (usually a spoon of almond butter between meals if only a little hungry). If I needed more food in my tummy I ate lots of carrots or a piece of fruit with the almond butter. Going overboard with meat is not my goal...so far I have mostly only…

Weird Dream - True Blood Plot but mixed with Hardboiled Eggs
I had to eat a hardboiled egg to get "the cure" and I was hiding from other people that wanted it inside a bathroom stall. Well the egg slipped out of my hands into the toilet. I sighed, washed it off under the sink, and then ate it!!!!

Why are YOU doing a Whole30?
Please share why you are doing the whole30. :smiley: I am doing it because I have a horrible addiction to any sweet food AND I love eating while watching TV after the kids go yo bed. I can't buy chocolate chips to make cookies for my family because I will literally eat the rest of the choc chips in the bag. I have been…

Day 2
This morning I looked in the fridge to pack my breakfast and lunch to eat at work. There were only 2 hardboiled eggs left (I share them with the family), so my husband is making more... Otherwise I would have had more protein with breakfast/lunch. Meal 1: Kind of a combination of things I had "around". A hardboiled egg,…
