CLo's First Whole30 Journey

Recommended Posts

So, generally, I tend to ignore the part of the books that recommends the whole journaling thing. I've never been one for a diary. The few exiting things I've done don't need to be written down, as they are pretty memorable. Every thing else is boring ;). Also, never did make much of an effort to find "buddies".

However, I've also had this persistent problem with consistency and commitment. I've started many, many, many diets, ways of eating, etcetera ad nauseum. I always find myself loosing steam and returning to bad habits.

...see a connection anyone? Unfortunately, I didn't until just recently. So, this time around, I'm listening to the experts. Hello World. Here is my log, and I've introduced myself in the forum.

I'm starting W30 on 1/19/15. Each Sunday, I'll Post my Plan.

I've decided to organize this log as follows:

* Food / Meal Time

* Water

* Exercise

* Thoughts on the Meals / Day

----------------------------------------------------------------

Plan for Week #1: Starting 1/19

• Protein Shake (Pre-WO)

• Sweet Pot Golden Cauliflower Soup w/ Scallops & Spinach

• Best Ever Chicken Stir Fry w/ Mushrooms, Zoodles & Bean Sprouts

• Chocolate Mole Chili w/ Pico, Avocado & Salad

Snacks:

Cucumber, Radish & Carrot Salad

Ham/Tuna

Nuts

Thoughts:

Decent day. Did a lot of what I had planned, but not all. Mis-judged the time it would take for prayer and then exercise. Also started the Joyce Meyers 3030 today, and that felt really good. But, since I slept late for the Holiday, I got to around 5 PM and ran out of steam. So, instead of doing ALL of my cooking I only got some of it done. But, still managed to eat on plan by throwing allowed snack type stuff together. Feel good. First day exercising in close to a month, so tired. Decent day.

Did Well: 3030, Excercised, Ate on Plan

Do Better: Time Management for Eating and Tasks, More Water

Good day. Kind of ;). Eating was on plan, but way too much time between feedings. Not on purpose. I was definitely hungry. Forgot to drink Pre WO shake before I went down to the gym. Was working on finishing cooking and prepping for Max Hydration. Managed to go way too long between meals as I concentrated on those things. * sigh *. Good thing is that I got all of the planned food done + Zoodles. Also finished the Cherry Lola Caramel Deep condition and I'm all set for Max Hydration. No major cravings. Gotta check on when to expect that "flu". Not great, cause it's already TOM. We press on. Oh yea, also completed second day of 3030. Praying the flow will increase, but quite pleased that I'm not looking at the clock with extra time. Rather, each day, I could use a bit more time.

Did Well: 3030, Excercised, Ate on Plan, finished cooking, started Max Hydration, small increase of water

Do Better: Time Management for Eating and Tasks

First week went well. Food all on plan. Exercised 3x. Decent water intake. No major cravings, and no "flu". I have a feeling thats because I've done Paleo/Primal before. Started this after all of the Holiday months of indulging. But, before that I was doing JJ Virgin, off and on. So, not that different.

The next week, I want to:

• Exercise 4X

• Increase water to 12 cups or close to 1/2 my body weight

Haven't noticed any real improvements in health, skin, etc., but it's only been a week. Let's see what happens next week.

Glad to have gotten through the weekend without my normal carb heavy brunch indulgence. Didn't miss it too much. I'm sure that at some point I will.

Glad to get back into Daily Burn. Not so happy to only get through half of the program. ALL of the food tastes good this time around. Score!

Did Well: 3030, Water, Food

Do Better: Exercise, Time Management
