It's a long, steep grind to the top of a local mountain at 8,855 feet. I was tired when I reached the summit, but rested for 20 minutes and ate a Primal Pack. After that, I was completely refreshed of the descent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillS Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 ConfusedOminvore and Kmlynne, thank you for the support! This second round was easier in many ways, and not nearly as exciting. I'm glad I completed it successfully, and am happy to have it behind me for a while. Here's a quick recap of my results: - I was 100% compliant with the plan from an ingredient perspective. I didn't eat anything that wasn't compliant. That said, I did stray from the meal templates, likely having more fruit than is strictly necessary. It's summer and the fresh fruit is hard to pass up. - I found myself snacking too often, usually more out of habit than true hunger. This is something for me to work on as I settle into a more typical eating pattern. - I continued to build my exercise throughout the program and got ever better results. I feel fantastic and am often surprised at what I am physically capable of. I think I said after my first W30 that it felt like my body's capability exceeded my mind's expectations. This continues to be true. - I lost 7 pounds. To be honest, I was a little disappointed in that, but upon reflection am grateful for any progress. And the compliments I receive from my friends let me know this is the right path for me. - W30 is a lot more fun with a buddy or two to join the journey. Reading the forum really helped me on the "dark" days. And now the journey continues. I'll continue eating 80% compliant, with the occasional treat thrown in. There's probably a Round Three in the not-too-distant future. You'll be the first to know! Thanks again for all the support! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
