mrsjmac Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 If you haven't seen my previous posts, here is a summary of my life before Whole 30: 1. I was plain lazy. 2. Did not care about taking care of myself. 3. Was going into depression again about the loss of my mother and how unhappy I was with myself. 4. I go only do a 17:45 min/mile when going on a walk with a little bit of jogging. 5. I ate my feelings. I hid what I ate from my husband. I knew he would be upset because he was concerned for my health. My husband found Whole 30 online and I didn't want to do it - but decided to try it anyway. I followed Whole 30 for 75 days straight! I am still following Whole 30, but I did allow myself to have sushi on Sunday with a friend. Sushi is the one thing I missed doing Whole 30. I do not allow myself to have cheat days or cheat meals, but I will allow myself a cheat item. But I don't say 1 cheat item per week or anything - I make sure to sit down and truly think about if it's worth it? My friend and I shared a couple of sushi rolls and there were 3 pieces left. Normally, I would scarf them down because she said she didn't want anymore. But I told myself that the food doesn't control me anymore and I didn't touch them because I felt satisfied. Now on to my results. I began this journey on June 9th. I have lost: 40.1 lbs - I'm 199.4!! Goodbye 200's! 5.75 inches in hips 4.75 inches in upper ab 2 inches in mid ab 4.5 inches in lower ab 3 inches in each thigh 1 inch in each calf 2.5 inches in each arm For a total of 30 inches lost! Pant size - from a 22 to a 16 ALMOST 14 Shirt size - from a 1x and 2x to a Large sometimes Medium I had to get my wedding ring resized - from a 10 to an 8 And I can run a 5k in 40 minutes and if I do just 2 miles I can average a 11:45 min/mile. As for my emotional state, I haven't been this happy in a long time. It's amazing how eating healthy foods and staying active can make such a huge difference in your life. It just seems like everything falls into place. I have not had to go on depression medication - and I am so thankful. See my pics below Please do not copy. Thanks!
