almcc Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well sunday marked 100 days!! Woohoo!! I am anxious to be done. There are just little things I want. Like a little freedom to eat out wherever (not fast food obviously). And I have been craving potato chips. I always want pizza. And a margarita would be nice. My commitment to this Whole 100 will be done this coming sunday, on day 107. I'm not going to run out and eat gobs of non-compliant food - like I have in the past. I don't know what my plan is but I do know I have to be careful and I have to get ready for a trip to NY in May. Last time I tried to ride my own bike I failed miserably. I ate and ate all the wrong things. To be honest it was a very stressful time. I am determined not to fall into a cake. Sugar is my enemy and I am very clear about that. It makes me very very sick. It has been a little more than a year since I started this journey with Whole 9 and Whole 30. I am thrilled by the changes I have seen in my health, my mindset, and my body. I am amazed though at how my brain can always find fault. Even though I have lost more than 35 lbs - I find myself looking in the mirror and wondering if I have gained weight. Old habits die hard!!! These last 100 days have been amazing, though. It's been very stressful - mom had surgery for cancer (she is doing great!!), a friend died, having a houseguest for 5 weeks, tax time for my business and for our family, closing of my father's estate, and now applying for a new home loan. Plus all the usual ups and downs, including the last stages of peri-menopause. I could not have done it all without taking care of myself - I feel really supported by eating well. Calmer and more in charge. That is not to say that I haven't been irritable. Or irritated by my strict diet. But overall this Whole 100 has made a huge difference. The other big change has been in the gym. I have seen amazing things. Today I ran 1/2 mile on the track (in the sunshine ) and then sprinted 100m in 23s. Which for me - an out of shape 53 yr old - is amazing. Here's to taking care of ourselves!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
