Vanniek71 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 DAY 94 - Wednesday October 24th Info: Today was a good day, I was a little low on energy because I ran out of veggies at work, and didn't have time to go get more until lunch. I could definitely feel an energy difference throughout the day because I missed them for breakfast. It may sound silly to some who are not on a Paleo or Whole30 type diet, but what you eat REALLY matters. Skip a meal and my energy goes in the toilet, and we all know toilets are NOT fun to be in LOL. Also got a bunch more bulk cooking done for the trip this weekend, can you say more Saw-sages????

Vanniek71 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 DAY 100 - Tuesday October 29th Info: Sorry I got behind again, been super busy since I got back from New Mexico. I DID get pictures and weights so I can post the update post here shortly! Working on putting the before and after pictures side by side for a comparison for you all, so you can see what they look like. I'll be honest I am not all that happy with my progress, but with that being said I have my eating down pat now, and I just need to implement exercise to really jump start my fat loss. I am not disappointed either, as the food portion of getting healthy has always been my main challenge, and I am winning that battle right now! Anyways I am going to do a separate update post as soon as I get the pics side by side, so keep an eye out for that, and also the Paleo Slaw post will be up later this afternoon as well!Enter for your chance to win a free copy of the Well Fed Paleo cookbook by Melissa Joulwan here!

Vanniek71 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 The post you 've all been asking for! Sorry to keep you all waiting so long for this, I had a few issues with posting pics on the site, as well as the batteries dying in my scale, to just flat out not having the time to get this done, BUT alas I finally have it! Here are the pics side by side of when I started, and the pictures that I took last night. As I posted, I am not completely happy with where I am at, but at least its all been in a positive direction. My biggest issue always has been eating right for extended periods of time, and I feel I have that under control now, which of course is a win!Anyways on to the pictures and stats! Weight: 205.8 lbs, Waist Circumference: 42" at the belly button Pounds lost:19.2 lbs Inches lost: 5" Day 100 on left, Day 1 on right And I took 1 extra photo, a bonus if you will for making you all wait this damned long! This one really puts it in to comparison for me, these shorts used to be "suck in my gut so I can button them tight" And as you can see I have plenty of wiggle room now! ( Oh yeah, I almost forgot, a few have asked "What's with the beard?" Well i don't like beards so as a motivator, I am not shaving it until I am below 200lbs! Once I am beardless I will have hit the 25 lbs lost since I have started this Whole360 project, and 33lbs lost since I started Whole30's!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 DAY 101 - Wednesday October 30th Info: Well passed the 100 day mark, I feel I have a very good grasp on what it takes to eat right, I have formed the good habit finally so to say. My mind sometimes is just like "Oh just eat this it's easy" and I know enough to not listen and do the right thing. That's the biggest difference I am noticing now. May sound like I'm crazy (maybe I am??) but I'm not listening to the food demons so to speak anymore! Enter for your chance to win a free copy of the Well Fed Paleo cookbook by Melissa Joulwan here!

Guest Andria Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Wow, congratulations! There is a HUGE difference between the two pictures. Why are you not entirely happy? You lost just over a pound a week, which is a very sustainable weight loss. It would be interesting to see your before and after bf % , that would have probably been more telling. You look like you have lost ALOT more bodyfat that those stats tell! And since you were eating well you probably didn't lose muscle, maybe even gained some, hence the reason for a smallish scale # change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im an impatient person is why I'm not satisfied LOL there is no other explaination than just that. If I would have lost 40lbs instead of what i lost I still would have not liked it.....the treats of being me LOL,. Honestly I am more impressed with my will to remain eating well and stickign to that, which was my main concern coming in to this.....now I can focus on the workouts and other things. My before BF was 31-32% using a home style BF tester. On day 200 I plan on getting a BF test done for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 DAY 108 - Wednesday November 6th Info: So after what we will call the "Ghosts Incident" (aka staying up way too late playing Call of Duty Ghosts) last night I was dog tired all day. Food went well of course, but any ideas I had of exercise were tossed out the window. After getting through work, and somehow miraculously staying awake on the drive home, I ate dinner, and don't remember much after that. I do know I got 10 hours of much needed sleep though, so that's a plus!! I also got a groupon type deal yesterday forwarded to me by a friend, a local Crossfit/Athlete training center had a deal going on for 2 BOD pod tests, and a month of unlimited Crossfit so I jumped on that. Have been wanting to go to an actual Crossfit gym for a while now, and the BOD pod tests will be perfect for what I'm doing. Pretty stoked bout that! Food Log: Dinner...lots o veggies! Breakfast: Carne asada salad with romaine, kalamata olives, OOM and hot sauce dressingLunch: Carne asada salad with romaine, kalamata olives, OOM and hot sauce dressing. Ran low on Carne asada so had a tin of Smoked Oysters as well. Dinner: Steak salad with fresh salsa, Paleo slaw and kalamata olives.

Vanniek71 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 DAY 109 - Thursday November 7th Info: The food was easy today, since it was pretty much exactly the same for all three meals. I tried a concoction for breakfast, found out I really liked it....A LOT and figured why change if you like it? Plus it was easy to throw together, and took zero brain power! I was all about conserving brain power today....So the meals below are not a typo, I ate the same thing for all three meals, and will likely have it for breakfast and lunch tomorrow too LOL Food Log: Breakfast: Paleo slaw mixed with a large handful of shredded iceberg lettuce, topped with ground beef and hot sauce. Kalamata olives on the side.Lunch: Paleo slaw mixed with a large handful of shredded iceberg lettuce, topped with ground beef and hot sauce. Kalamata olives on the side.
