RKW Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Today is Day 30 and I am ready to keep going. After 2 weeks on the program I had lost all of the cravings for sugar and alcohol, but was extremely tired. I did not need cookies, bread, pasta, and most of all I DID NOT NEED BEER OR WINE! But, I never had energy until Day 29. Yesterday, out of the blue, I felt like taking a walk. I put on my dusty walking shoes and headed out for a 2 mile walk on a neighborhood trail. At times I felt like taking off running but used restraint knowing that I will turn 60 soon and have been sedentary for the last 4 years. Instead, I just enjoyed a brisk pace and realized how wonderful it felt. When I returned home I pulled out the hedge trimmer and trimmed bushes for an hour, raked up the trimmings, and looked for more to do. Wow, the day I had been looking for finally arrived and it felt good to be alive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrots&Blueberries Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 oh, this is wonderful! Congratulations! So great that you kept going - even when you didn't feel that energy but just knowing that it was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman57 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Congratulations! I turn 57 in July. Been at this for one week (with many previous attempts) and through that week I have been sick with a cold/flu/plague/something. So my exercise hasn't exactly been wild but adherence to the foods has been almost simple. I wouldn't advise this for anyone else. My sleep, most importantly, has been terrific the last two nights. Very much like the Whole30 timeline when all I want to do is snooze! But underneath the whole sleeping thing I'm kind of simmering with a low level energy which makes me WANT to do stuff.

RKW Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Day 31! I am going to keep going for awhile before I reintroduce less healthy foods into my diet (how long, I do not know) because of the way I have been feeling. Used the scales today and have lost 18 pounds, but I am still 30 pounds overweight. I don't know if I can lose that much more, but I do know that it does not matter as long as I am getting healthier and feeling good. Thanks for all of the support and I have enjoyed reading the various posts throughout the Whole30. It really does make a difference to have community input and see others progress during the program.

Kmlynne Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Congratulations on a w30 well done! I also continued my w30, and am on day 70 something. I love how it makes me feel (good) - instead of how I felt (sick). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
