Suprsndy Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I am at the end of day 6 of my first W30. I am mostly sailing through the normal problems described in the first week. Headaches, GI problems etc. When I am minding my own business, at 7-11 (buying chocolate for my teenage daughter who has PMS) Surprised I'm not jealous about the chocolate and skipping back to my car. Skipping! I had to pause and get excited about the energy I have. Yay its working! Then when I get home, my husband starts to speak and out of nowhere I want to K.A.T's namely HIM. For no reason, same old stuff. I have that same feeling of out of nowhere rage. So here I am with all this energy and bad PMS symptoms. And it's not that time of the month. I was expecting not to have this problem. So I just have to laugh at how informed I have become to know this is normal. Does it sound crazy that I am relieved? That all my hard work is paying off, I'm hoping :] Lets see what adventure comes next. LOL Link to comment
AllyB Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yeah, I think it's the withdrawal from sugar that does it to us. Some people are affected more than others. I was pretty bad off. People gave me a wide berth and my husband kept recommending that I either go get a massage to take a nap! It gets better. Look at it as a sign that the sugar is releasing it's hold over you.

MeadowLily Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm sure it's just me, but the 'kill all things' really scares me. Link to comment
Suprsndy Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hahaha, I have unexplained mood swings when I PMS So I'm looking at it the same way...it's not really me, it's just the circumstances of what my body is going through at the time. Keep a sense of humor about it, and know this too shall pass. Of course I wouldn't really hurt a fly. The reference is just funny! Link to comment

MBC Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 A great kettle bell workout will fix all excess energy. I found I gained strength after Whole30's Link to comment
jlhreed Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Daughter's hormones may also be affecting your mood. This happens at our house all the time! Link to comment
AllyB Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I think if I know my mood is caused by something external, it helps me to think my way out of it. For example, if I'm driving home and have the urge to cry, I might think "oh, I'm so unhappy with my life, I need to change!" But then I realize I'm just PMSing and it reassures me that it's a temporary feeling and my life is pretty darn good! Link to comment
