magritte Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 This is my second time around - my previous Whole30 was completed on 10th August. I was really pleased with the results and you can check out my round up of that experience at http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/21048-my-first-whole30-completed-with-pics/ . This time I'm going to tweak a few things. For a start, I'm not going to be cooking just for myself as my good lady will be joining me on the journey. As a result, many of the things I put up with in my first W30 may not be realistic in this one - I'll definitely need to put more planning into it this time and attempt to get more variety into the meals too. It's not like I'm short of ideas - I do have Well Fed 1 & 2 and Food For Humans as well as a bunch of other paleo cook books - it's just a case of doing it. Also, now that I'm training heavier I need to look at improving my pre-WO and post-WO. While I haven't strayed too far from the path since my last W30 I haven't been eating the same quantity and have been guilty of skipping breakfast - so I need to fix this too. Anyways - here goes.

magritte Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Day 7: Breakfast: I broke the rules this morning and had a smoothie <naughty, naughty> as I was making them for the kids. I figured that as it was the equivalent of a very small handful of berries, 1/3 of an apple, 1/3 of a banana and 1/3 of a pear once divided by 3 I really wasn't overconsuming and made sure I took my time with it. Strangely I didn't feel particularly hungry. Lunch: Missed lunch as I was out and about - took the boys swimming, shopping etc.. Dinner: Baked Fish (gummy shark) Baked Potato Kombucha I should also add that I ran 10K non-stop for the first time EVER - in just under 60 mins. Not bad for a first attempt :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magritte Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 OK - I'm restarting this thread as I managed to fall (jump) off the truck on day 18. My OH whinged and moaned the entire time she was doing the Whole30 with me and by day 15 she'd decided she'd had enough (I think she was missing her wine too much - it was the first thing she went for when she said she was stopping her Whole30). It really didn't surprise me as although I'd tried to offer some guidance, she doesn't like being told what to do and I invariably got it in the neck. On the other hand, she wasn't prepared to put in the prep work (like reading the book, logging her progress) but instead was expecting me to spoon feed her through the process. It was destined for failure. I think the other thing that impacted me this time around was that by day 10 I grew bored with updating my log, figuring that there was no need as long as I stayed compliant. Not logging meant that I wasn't accountable any more which made it much easier to make the decision to stop. Anyway, with all the negativity being thrown around at home and with our holidays coming up I decided to stop and then come back to this when the dust had settled at home and it was going to be less of an issue and wouldn't conflict with our holiday plans. So I'm back now and starting again at Day 1. One observation ... in the intervening few weeks I've developed a really bad sweet tooth. I was never really that much into eating sweets or biscuits and didn't add a lot of sugar to food/drinks. But I seem to have gone overboard - with each passing day I was adding more and more sugar to my diet. Really craving the stuff - rushing out to buy sweets and chocolate. It's strange as when I completed my previous Whole30 I really didn't feel like I needed the sugar and taking a week off in between Whole30's didn't impact me at all. So I can't really figure out why this happened. Needless to say, I've added a few kilos back on. So it has to stop now - I'm expecting this to be quite a challenge this time around.
