mrsjmac Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I have completed Whole 30 through 60 days straight! It's so funny to think I only started doing this because of my husband deciding to start it and I was not very happy about it. I guess everything happens for a reason! I have been so happy and feel so much better because of being more aware of what I feed my body. First for the non-weight/inches results: I was thinking on going on depression medication before I started Whole 30 because I was letting my mother's death in January 2012 still consume some days and could not focus on anything. I was very irritable and had no patience. NOW: Even though I am still very sad about my mom passing away, I do not let it consume me. I might cry here and there a little, but that is normal. My patience and focus has also improved. I feel no need to go on any medications! I was very self-consious of the way I looked. It was bad enough to where I thought some of my friends didn't want to hang out with me (fabricated in my mind) and my lack in self-confidence was very very low. NOW: My confidence is MUCH better now. I don't feel embarrassed of myself. I still have a long way to go, but I know I will get there. My wedding ring falls off my finger if I walk with my hand open (better get that sized ) I used to do a 17:45 minute/mile when trying to jog/walk (not much jogging) NOW: I can jog ONE HOUR straight - no walking or stopping at all. In that one hour I do between 4.15-4.30 miles. It is still a slower jog than elite runners would do, but it is great for me!! Oh yeah - and I have worked my way up to do a plank for a 2 minutes 6 seconds! Now for the weight/inches results: Day 1 Weight: 239.5 Day 30 Weight: 221.3 Day 60 Weight: 209.5I lost 30 lbs!! Hips - 4.5 inches!! Upper Ab - 4.5 inches!! Mid Ab - 2 inches!! Lower Ab - 3 inches!! Thigh - 2.5 inches in each thigh!! Calf - .5 inch in each calf!! Arm - 2 inches in each arm!! So in summary, I have lost 30 lbs and 19 inches in 60 days! I am more active than I have been in years and so incredibly happy. I am going to change my lifestyle to paleo for now, but whenever I need a jumpstart or start to feel myself slip back, I know Whole 30 guidelines will always be there for me to start up again. I plan on doing Whole 30 one or two months each year as well. I want to be a healthy mom to my two little ones!Here are my photos! Thank you for all of your kind words in my earlier posts! I wish you all the best in your Whole 30 journeys!!I also added a picture of me trying on clothes at the store I can wear size 16 in dress pants and 18 in jeans. Size large in shirts. It is much more fun going shopping now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
