Vanniek71 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I know a lot of you followed my Whole360 (http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/11906-whole360-my-year-long-journey-to-a-healthier-life/ ) and I thank you! Without your comments, PM's and support I would have likely faltered. This is the next chapter in my journey, but there are a few tweaks I am making to it overall. #1 Major focus is going to be on activity and fitness - I have the food part under control, next up fitness! #2 1-2 meals a month I will be allowing a not-approved item. Something like cheese on a salad or a few beers etc. I will scale this if I feel I cannot handle it. If it gets hard in any way to not cheat after I eat a non approved meal I will just cut it out completely and go super strict like I did last year. Thats it! Stay tuned for more (mis) adventures and fun! I will also be tracking this on my blog which contains all the recipes I posed in the past (more to come) and the archive of last year if you want to catch up on it! http://www.whole360.blogspot.com Thanks all again, I really appreciate it!

Vanniek71 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Day N1 - Monday August 4thInfo: Well well here we are again! This time I'm focused prepared and ready to get after it. Yesterday I inflicted myself to gluten, alcohol, sugar etc you name it, and lots of it. Why you ask? A few reasons. #1 I wanted to get it all out of my system and make sure I wasn't going to blow it like I did last time I started. And the second reason was to make myself feel like crap. Just a friendly reminder of why those foods are not good for you and why I don't need to eat them. Me to self: You're welcome, now get to work! Here we go again! Food Log: Breakfast: Felt so crappy from the carb, junk, sugar overload I couldn't eat breakfast.Lunch: Chicken breast and Paleo slaw. handful of almondsDinner: Big salad with iceberg, chicken breast, black olives, habanero stuffed green olives, a dollop of Paleo slaw for good measure and hot sauce.Snack: noneDaily Totals: 1124 Calories, 77g Fat, 57g Carbohydrates, 15g Fiber, 31g Sugar, 68g Protein Exercise: Walking Details: Since I felt like crap I decided to just walk today and at least get something in.Results: ~1.7 miles of leisurely stroll, like I said all that garbage food made me feel BAAAD!

Kmlynne Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I caught the tail end of your first 360 and am glad to see you back. Your log certainly gave me ideas of foods to eat. I am curious as to why you are putting the calorie, etc totals in your log. I am nowhere near 360 days, but am afraid that if I took a day to eat those things that I still sometimes miss that I will be tempted to just continue to eat them - guess thats why I am still going on my w30/100/still going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am curious as to why you are putting the calorie, etc totals in your log. it is purely for my amusement and so I can tinker with different things. I don't need to track it, but I use an app thats very easy to do so, so i want to document it. Like yesterday I was a little high on fat, and sugar for my liking so I want to tinker with it and reduce it slightly...stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
