Jenny C. Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm starting today, too. I don't know that I'm going to miss sweets as much as I'm going to miss (and already miss) grains. I was already gluten free, but relied heavily on gluten free bread, rice, and corn. I had eggs and fish for breakfast and a salad with avocado for lunch. Right now I have a headache...

nettiegirl Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Poop! Maybe those of us that started today should exchange emails or friend each other on FB for support! My sister started Sat and said she's crabby lol. My demon is something sweet. Have to eat sweets after dinner. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny C. Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I know. I was thinking the same thing. Here's my email address -- [email protected]. Today wasn't so bad. But I've got sort of a headache and am definitely missing my grains... How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzapalooza Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I am starting today also! I've done this before and it is worth the sacrifice, so I just need the support and motivation to stick with it. I just have to remember it's only 30 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elismom47 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yeah I started today, too Very excited and hopeful. Planning meals is what seems overwhelming. I'm finding the idea of veggies for breakfast hard. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacey Sutherland Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I started the 23rd as well. Doing 75 days this time around. My husband wanted to eat whole 30 for the 75 days leading up to his marathon! So here we go! I have done the whole 30 before are any of you second timers?

Stacey Sutherland Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Happy second day everyone! How are you all doing? What are you eating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austxrunner Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Second day was great for me, but today is Day 3, and I was supposed to get up for a 5:30 am bootcamp and went back to bed. Had the headache and bad mood....trying to get motivated! I did eat correctly for breakfast and was HAPPY to find out I could put full-fat coconut milk in my coffee, and it tasted great! Hoping all of you had a better start to your morning than me! Stay strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey Sutherland Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Day 2 went well. I need to make some breakfast here in a few. I had leg cramps when going to bed and was so afraid I was going to get a charlie horse in the middle night. Thankfully I did not. I have never tried coconut milk in my coffee before. I have stayed away from coffee so far during this whole 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austxrunner Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Zoiks, was Coffee on the forbidden list? (Hope not, that's one thing I really enjoy! Not for the caffeine, but just for the coffee.....) I need to work out today and I can barely even focus on my work, darnit! But I will trudge through this....no urge to cheat, just feelin craptastic today.

austxrunner Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 How's Day 4 starting for everyone? I woke up with another terrible headache and had to force myself to eat breakfast. (Eggs and asparagus!) Have been having terrible cravings for snickerdoodle cookies but hoping that urge will pass soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nettiegirl Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Same here! Bout ready to rip an ice cream cone out of some little kids hands. And yes, I will push him down if I must lol. A warm chocolate chip cookie would be yummy also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey Sutherland Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 So far so good. I still need to make breakfast! I am totally slacking this morning. So far I haven't had any urges or cravings. not sure why?? I did take a nap the other day and had a dream I got a caramel frappe and that I was licking the caramel out the cup when I done. I woke up feeling so guilty. I hate food dreams. You guys are doing awesome. Give it a few more days and your sugar dragon will go into hibernation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nettiegirl Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well Day 4 is good.... But I still want ice cream or something sweet! And I've had moments of "oh screw this, I'm going and getting a diet pop and ice cream". But have not succumbed. I'm a wee bit tired also.. But I do feel good. Just my dumb brain sending weird messages lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzapalooza Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Day 5! I've been feeling pretty good. This is my second time and so much easier than the first as far as cravings go. But I've had very vivid dreams of eating junk food the last few nights! Last night it was chocolate covered caramel popcorn. Is that even a thing? I've been eating giant salads every day and today I made "pasta" which was really spaghetti squash with Italian sausage. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elismom47 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 6 days in and feel in good. I am sleeping like a baby. The best sleep I've had since I can remember I haven't had any real cravings. I think about sushi a lot. I'm tired of eating eggs for breakfast though. Anybody have any ideas on breakfast? I go to the gym 2-3 times a week and work with a trainer. Yesterday I ate three eggs, 2 slices of bacon and some avocado, and a banana. My workout was 1-1/2 hours after eating and when I was done 30 minutes with her, I was wiped. I came home and tried to swim but I got dizzy and had to quit. What's up with that? my email is [email protected] and I'm from Tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
