CrunchyLutheranMommy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 So I don't have crazy over-the-moon energy levels. That might have something to do with the fact that my two children wake me up about four times every night. BUT I realized a few things today... it's not as BOOM!! In your face! As I thought it was going to be but I think I might have finally reached Tiger Blood on Day 18. Here is my evidence... I was feeling happy all day... and as a pastor's wife, Sundays are not exactly the most stress free day in the world. But I felt pretty good. I tried on a sweater that I haven't been able to wear in four years, since before I was pregnant with our first child. It fits! I was going to throw it out because I thought there was no way it would ever fit again. So glad I didn't! I just look and feel more awesome than I have in a long time. I am finally at a point (never thought it would happen) where I don't even care what the scale says when I'm finished! My children ate rolos in front of me today and I didn't drool. DH and I talked about quitting Whole30 early, I considered that it might be a good idea for some of our family circumstances... then I realized I had absolutely no desire to eat off plan. I told DH that he could cheat for the Super Bowl and I would just eat Whole30 food. I am totally ok with him not finishing. I am not depending on outside support anymore, I am just doing this because I can and I want to! I tried to daydream about eating delicious foods that I used to constantly crave and... none of them tasted yummy in my head. I did not want any of them, and even the few indulgences that I decided would still be delicious had absolutely no pull on me. I just felt like I would enjoy them one day but I was in no hurry to have them again and was content with that. It all happened so suddenly that it feels not real. I was having cravings last night and I woke up this morning feeling this way. Is this Tiger Blood? I hope it's not just a high from being able to wear my favorite sweater again... I really hope I wake up and feel this way tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Does it matter what it's called? Feeling more awesome than you have in a long time is pretty stellar - enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcheoGator Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If you are at a point that you want to do it, then go for it! I really can't remember where I heard it, but I heard this line that I keep thinking about. Many people say things like, "Oh, you can't eat ______, right?" However, it is not that I can't eat it, since I can eat anything I want. I CHOOSE not to eat _____. So, if you are actively choosing to continue, you are in a good place. Keep it going, and evaluate things more and more as you approach day 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melimuse Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 From my day 14 journal . . . My emergy and mood are much more even, although insomnia has not yet abated. I feel more positive. I am . . .happy! Yes, happiness is becoming a companion. My communication with (my children and boyfriend) is gaining clarity. I can connect again. I think what you are experiencing *is* real.
