Jacelexi Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi!!! Anyone else planning on starting May 27th? I would love, love a buddy in this challenge. I am a 36 year old mother of two who works graveyards. My day looks like this....off work @630am...home by 650am...make kids lunch and breakfast...get them up and ready for school. I crawl into bed around 730am while hubby takes kiddos to school. Wake up around 230pm go get kids from school. Come home grab myself breakfast kids snacks. Get soccer gear for oldest. Head to gym by 4pm. Do weights and or cardio or both.. Workout until 5-530....take oldest to soccer. Youngest and I will run around park and play or head to grocery store for more fruit and veggies. Soccer is over at 7...home to make dinner. Husband helps with homework and putting kids to bed..I try to take a cat nap before I work at 10pm.....my biggest challenge has been working graveyards. I feel if I dont get enough sleep I tend to snack on unhealthy food in the middle of the night. I have not lost a pound in months...I don't gain but I don't loose and I have 20 I need to loose. I'm hoping this 30 day challenge will be just what I need! Does anyone have any advice??? Any tips on working graveyards and sticking with this program? I'm nervous and excited! Thanks for reading!

Physibeth Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 There are a few threads on this topic scattered around here but you might get your best advice from NomNomPaleo as she has 2 little boys and works graveyards and writes about this a lot on both her blog and in her cookbook. My biggest general tip is to familiarize yourself with the meal planning template (print it out, post it on your fridge), become a label reading genius, plan, plan, plan, and prep, prep, prep.

audmeighan Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm doing my second Whole 30 starting May 27th, so keep in touch if you need support. My last experience was amazing and I'm only mad because I fell off the wagon 6 months later. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacelexi Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thank you! Good to know someone will be starting same day as I am. I'm super nervous and excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audmeighan Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 How's it going? Hubs and I are starting Day 5 today and other than being extremely tired, we're doing okay. Feeling much "cleaner" and already fitting into our clothes better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacelexi Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Audmeighan, I also feel like I'm fitting into my clothes better! What I'm really happy about is I haven't had as much pain in my hands while lifting weights! I am holding off a little longer before I get super excited but I'm thinking this might have helped the inflammation! Happy to hear it's going good with you and the hubs! Cheers to day 5...on to day 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
