Renee Kosowan Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Starting day 10. Amazing sleep last night, woke up with energy and feeling great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjelevil Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yes! I've been noticing this too. Not sure why it's happening though. I assumed dehydration but I'm probably drinking more than I would have pre-Whole30 (and less of it coffee!). There is a 'Mothball mouth' thread in the troubleshooting forum, but not sure she's describing quite the same thing. This seems to be passing now and I am SO happy.No amount of water was getting rid of it and I haven't been drinking coffee or any other caffeine either.Today my mouth feels more normal!Hope yours passes soon.

JoanneK Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 On Day 6 and hanging in there. I have been following a low carb woe. So this is not too hard for me. I do miss wine and cheese though. Its amazing at all the hidden sugars, soy and other crap ingredients in stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjelevil Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Day 11 is done and dusted.This week has flown by and without any real issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucatiGirl Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Day 10 was good, Day 11 and I'm wiped out, but that's because I ended up doing too much activity in a 24 hour period. Kayaking, crossfit & lake swimming along with trips to the farmers market and co-op for our weekly meat & veg. Didn't plan it that way it just worked out that way. Now I'm feeling like an exhausted lump, but I know this will pass. I'm super excited to know I've made it this far, successfully. Generally I feel pretty good, I'm sleeping well and have good energy when i don't overextend myself. I just need to continue listening to my body and taking it easy when I need recovery and down time. The half way point is so close I can almost taste it! Great job everyone!!! Keep up the fabulous work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Hermannsen Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Just started today! I've been following Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint for a month, but lost no weight. Too many nuts, dark chocolate and very little vegetables. I do feel so much better though, so now would like to get serious and follow Paleo properly for 30 days. All excited!

Silverscreen Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Finished day 10 strong and are now halfway through day 11. I feel amazing, but I would like some extra energy for my running. Guess I need to ramp up the sweet potato consumption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebe_J Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Day 12 is almost over, and I'm surprised at how easy it has been. Clothes are feeling looser. I'm feeling good, just a bit tired. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjelevil Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Day 12 is finished,it has been very easy for a while now,there are no cravings,longings or anything of the sort.I am still struggling with a bit of heartburn but compared to where I was before,it's mild.I am realising now that there are other things I am not digesting very well..mostly bananas and avocado.I seem to manage the latter sometimes but other times it has heartburn written all over it. Excited to be close to the halfway point.Hope you all had a great weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Stratton-Cooper Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Went in my first run in over a month and my first Whole30 run. Wow, I have not had one this bad since I started running a year ago. I ditched my plan of 2 miles and went 1.3 in about 23 minutes. Slow slow slow! But I know I will get better.

sunbaby Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Day 12 in the books!! I can't believe we are ALMOST half way there! I had the most amazing steak with some homemade pico and guac. It was sooo fabulous!! And I indulged in some cherries today. I have been really careful with fruit and have not eaten it too much in these last 2 weeks. The cherries tasted like heaven . Feeling amazing. Bloating gone. Sleeping like a baby at night. Skin is bright and clear. Just all around feeling great. And I haven't had a migraine the entire time! Amazing really! I am experimenting with things I have never had such as ghee (YUMMY). This is a fun and amazing experience!! Hope you are all doing fab too!!!!

Renee Kosowan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Awesome Job Becky! each run will get easier from here on out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenpapaya Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Another August 1st starter here Have had my ups and downs, but generally feeling so much better in terms of my skin and moods. I also used to have chronic headaches (pretty much every day), and I've only had one minor one during the program thus far. I've been keeping a daily diary of sorts on my blog, including my meals for each day.

SaraLovesSweetPotatoes Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Started August 9th! Hoping to relieve my IBS symptoms. No positive changes yet but I'm willing to give it a good long try. The book made me feel really hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spam4me Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I also started on the 1st. I bought the book and much to my shame have not read it yet I did Paleo a lot last year although I would cheat and drink Coke Zero so I figured I'd do this and not cheat which I haven't and don't plan on doing. I might go longer than 30 though, not sure yet. I had to have shoulder surgery in December and I have a couple of herniated discs that have been bugging me since March so I started to get some chub on. Already after 12 days the stomach is getting flatter and the obliques are hinting at being there. Energy levels, cravings, all fine. I have eaten a lot of nuts lately and I plan on cutting that out as from today as I was getting a tad carried away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjelevil Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Day 13 I wasn't feeling so great today,tired and general kind of crappy feeling. I did manage to make my own roasted nut butter and it turned out really well,far nicer than the stuff from the bottle.I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for,but it's lovely. Hoping for some more energy tomorrow and excited to be almost 2 full weeks in of what I think will become a life long plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DucatiGirl Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Day 13 was pretty good. I'm finding I am more sensitive to caffeine than I knew. I was a regular coffee and espresso drinker and now it kinda tweaks me out. I'm good with tea of many varieties but coffee doesn't treat me so well. I'm very happy to be less cranky and find I can focus at work a little better. I'm enjoying the variety of foods and meals. I didn't realize how much of a food rut I was in before Whole30. It's opened up a whole new world of yumminess. Keep up the great work everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebe_J Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 One more mieal and day 14 will be finished. We both are finding it's getting easier every day. Of course, we were eating fairly well to begin with, but not really close to Paleo. I like having new menus to plan and different shopping to do. So far, so good.

DucatiGirl Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Day 14 coming to a close. So far the pattern is one good day, one mediocre day. Today was a mediocre day. Ditched my morning swim workout for a couple extra hours of sleep. I'm sure the sleep was good for me but I was sleepy all day. I am finding it easier to concentrate at work, which I definitely appreciate. Other than that I'm tired of major food prep everyday and still missing my glass of wine at night. Hoping for a good night of sleep so I can get up and do some sort of workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdevalencia Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi there, I have been primal/paleo for 7 months now. Looking to finally deal with my emotional/boredom eating problems by taking it up a notch with Whole30. Started on August 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayfitwithme Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Day 14 done...Hello Day 15...I have had a lot of fascination with carrots lately..I have stuck with it and halfway there..No scale and continued workouts..I have discovered that I really enjoy Jicama...Never would have guessed it. Hope everyone is doing great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatork Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 ugh, my run workout last night was not pleasant, definitely struggled through it. and i feel like i'm back at the kill all things phase again, haha...and still exhausted. i don't think carb intake is the problem, but could probably use more fats...

areldi Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Day 15 - halfway there already. The food aspect is going fine - no cravings and rarely needing snacks. Energy levels are definitely better if I include some starchy carbs each day. I'm still not sleeping very well (though that may be weather related) but my mood has been staying positive anyway. Looking forward to completing the next 15 days. Hope it's going well for the rest of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucatiGirl Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Day 15. Glad to be half way through. Did a crossfit workout this morning, ate some sweet potato and meatballs as soon as I got home and then ate breakfast a little later and still ended up being completely exhausted. I'm ready for bed!! Great job everyone for making it to the half-way mark!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
