A few small pieces of pork tenderloin. A coffee with coconut milk Lunch: Pork tender loin, carrots and cauliflower and a banana Supper: Grass-fed beef burgers and a strawberry, spinach garden salad Mood and Energy: Pretty good, but I had a nap when i got home.

hyaena Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Day 24 We all went for a huge walk down by the ocean. It was awesome to have the whole family out getting sea air and exercise. We did get a baseball field to ourselves for a bit and let the dogs run. I tried running with them on leash and we all almost died in a tangle of fur and kneecaps. We let them off leash and watched them run like bandits for the first time in a long while. The dogs get to walk a lot but not run as much as we'd like. We'd like them to come back so we're working on that! Breakfast: 3 egg omelette with bell peppers and a pork chop. A coffee with coconut milk Lunch: Pork chops and broccoli and a banana Supper: Home made chicken soup Mood and Energy: Great. Went for 5 walks total with one large walk with my wife and dogs down buy the ocean! Exercise: walked 8.6 kms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyaena Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 DONE! I finished my Whole30 on 4/8/2014. I weighed in the morning of 4/9/2014 and was 159.8 pounds. This is about 12 pounds less than the weigh in of 171.8 pounds. While I wasn't looking necessarily for more weight-loss, I was carrying residual fat on my back, hips and haunch for the last few months of living primal (with the 20% being a beer on weekends, cream and sugar in my coffee). By eliminating my “cheats†and eating 100% “paleo†my body responded by using up the last of my excess body fat. Now for the first time in my life I am dangerously close to having “absâ€(at the spry age of 44). Although the most workouts I achieved in a week was 2, they were effective. My arms are getting more defined and growing, my waist is shrinking and I am starting to see definition in my legs (The walks I do monitor add up to about 50 kms a week). We are starting another Whole30 on the back of this one, but I definitely won;t be trying to remember what I ate each day and post it. Once we get these lifestyle changes to be second nature it just won't be called The Whole30 anymore! I'l get some “after†photos soon just for fun. All today since starting to eat paleo, and drastically raising my exercise level, I have lost 47 pounds, had my blood pressure go from “high†to actually a little low. I have noticed having far fewer tics with my Tourette Syndrome. My energy levels are remarkably higher. I laid down for a nap yesterday (mostly out of habit and because I had the time) and I just dozed and relaxed. I never actually slept; my body and mind didn't need it! While we start another Whole30 our goals are to make the food more interesting, keep moving away from poor habits (wanting “dessertâ€, eating snacks between meals and eating enough at those meals) and getting more effective exercise other than walking. My goal will be to get 3 workouts a week in and continue to make them more intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
