Oasisfan Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hello all - I purchased "It Starts With Food" on a whim, sort of recommended by someone I follow on Instagram. I have picked May 19th as my start date, but am still apprehensive, since at the end of next week I'll be flying across the country and visiting my dad for a few days. I wonder if I should wait until I return to start? I'm very hesitant - I know that the Whole 30 isn't "hard" - and it's only 30 days, but I am eat so poorly - really just junk from noon-bed, that I know the beginning will be difficult. I'm reading the book, and looking up recipes online. I've bought the immersion blender I'm one of those people who thinks that if I have all the tools it'll be easier. I'm mostly looking forward to having more energy. I know something I'm eating to making me really tired - my default setting these days is "nap" - so doing the Whole30 is worth it to me for that reason. I wonder if perhaps I should use the rest of this month to try to wean myself off of some of the really big no-no's like my sugary snacks and soda, and then begin when I return. I don't want to set myself for failure, but the program does encourage starting as soon as possible. Guess I'll keep reading around here and reading the book & see where it leads me!

Moderators Tom Denham Posted May 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 14, 2014 Following the Whole30 while traveling is harder than someone without experience should attempt. And honestly, hard to do when you have a lot of experience. I think you should wait until you are back home to start. As you suggest, you could use the time between now and then to start working towards Whole30-style eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasisfan Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Well I'm back from my trip and ready to start. I thought I'd do the "last hurrah" weekend, which was a BAD idea because I woke up this morning sick! I'm going to do a whole30 dinner, and really jump in tomorrow. Wish me luck! I've learned something already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
