Physibeth Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 So here it is! Day 31! And I've not fallen face first into a pile of anything. I did make sweet potato pancakes for breakfast though. Mmmmmm! So my background is such that I was already mostly paleo when I started my W30. I had roughly followed a 30 day meal plan from Practical Paleo starting back in mid-March. I had some pretty good reintro success and was mostly staying on the wagon. I had not given up butter, was still doing a little sugar here and there, and was weighing myself daily and logging my food for the most part. Things that have changed and stayed good since going paleo: * Energy levels much more consistent. * No more afternoon brain fog. * No need for afternoon coffee. * Sleeping much better. * Eat 3 meals a day with little to no desire/need to snack. * Improved moods. * Inches and pounds coming off. * Better digestion (I used to have heart burn all the time) * Better cycles (less cramping and shorter) Specific achievements from my Whole 30: * Lost 3.2 lbs * Lost 3.75" (.5 from forearm, 1 from narrow waist, 1 from waist at navel, .5 from hips, .5 from thigh, .25 from calf) * Proved to myself that I can lose weight and inches without being a slave to the scale and food logging. I do not intend to go back to food logging and I plan to only weigh myself on the 1st of the month from here on. Things I'd still like to see improve: * My allergies are much better than past seasons but still there and annoying. * My BMs are still not what I would like them to be. Plan is to do some very careful introductions (schedule in my post-w30 log) over the rest of this month and then lay out my rules for a balanced paleo lifestyle going forward. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone and everyone! I've gained a lot from this experience in just trusting that I can eat without monitoring all the data all the time and still be healthy and move towards a more fit and functional body!
