JustClaudia Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi, guys! My name is Claudia and I am also starting Whole30 on June 1st with my crossfit box. I have to say that I am SO nervous and anxious. I feel totally unprepared. My biggest challenge will be preparing my meals as I am not a cook and can find one hundred other things I'd like to be doing other than spending time in the kitchen. I eat pretty clean already but I am a night eater and am doing the Whole30 to try to get that under control and drop 20 lbs of fat that have had me absolutely miserable for the last year. I know we are told to focus on the other benefits of the program, but I can't. I feel great and am very healthy otherwise. The measure of my success will be my progress towards leaning out. Please share you experience if you've felt the same way starting this out. Thanks for listening and best wishes to everyone that is just embarking on this journey as well! Have a great day, all! C.

Physibeth Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Welcome! Cooking doesn't have to be complicated to be delicious and compliant. I would highly recommend getting a copy of Well Fed if you have not already and using the weekly cookup method she describes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzard77 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I have tried to get into a different mindset as well but I have some extra fat to lose as well and have had a hard time divorcing myself from the weight loss desire. I have been meditating on it and have decided that whatever may come will come and I will be happy enough to get to the bottom of my mysterious pains even without weight loss. Good luck!

furbabyvet Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 being able to cook what you want to eat is very empowering. Don't underestimate this and just start simple, makes big batches of what you know you like. I also like the Paleo Slow Cooker book and NomNomPaleo.com- can't live without it!

JustClaudia Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks, everybody, for the good suggestions and encouragement. Two more days and I still haven't figured out what to do about my coffee!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessanio Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have the same question, can we still have coffee less or minus the milk and sugar? I don't mind it black... but would rather skip it if its not allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustClaudia Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 You're lucky to be able to drink it black, Bessanio. I tried to but it's too acidic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustClaudia Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 So, today is day 5. I've been doing great. No cravings and I am quite content with my food. I hadn't observed any changes until yesterday but today it's hit me hard. I am SO sluggish and my mind is very fuzzy. I could barely finish by kettlebell workout this morning and am having such a hard time thinking things through and concentrating. I have a very busy few days ahead. Lots of deadlines and people counting on me. Actually I don't have the option of not performing at full capacity. Any suggestions to minimize this effect? Come on, body!!! Adjust!! Thanks, guys.
