KunsBuns Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So I am on day two of my second Whole30. The first time around was great!! I felt amazing, I didn't stray from the program. I was so incredibly impressed with my will power. At the end of the 30 days, my skin and hair looked amazing, I felt great and I lost 14lbs!! I did the reintroduction like I was supposed to and I even managed to stick fairly close to the Whole30 in the weeks following. Then my birthday and the holidays hit and I FAILED miserably. All the wonderful will power was out the door! I went back to drinking soda, and eating chocolate and all that other junk that makes me look and feel miserable. After Christmas I was determined to start again, but then the first week of January went by and then the second and then the third. Where did that awesome will power go? Where did my determination go? I know it works, I know it makes me feel great...so why isn't that overpowering my need to stuff my face with junk food? So I went back to my first Whole30. I read all the material again, I read the testimonials and started feeling inspired again. I've done this before and I KNOW I can do it again! (and I'm getting married in 5 months - so no room for error) I had Monday off of work, so I got all my groceries and did all my food prep for the week. I've got this And to top it off, four other women from my work are doing this as well and we all started on the same day, so I have a great support team !! This time around I'm going to post on this forum as well. That way I'm holding myself accountable at home, at work, and online Here's to a successful round two! ------------------------------ Day Two - Today my work had a lunch meeting and ordered in Pasta! One of my FAVORITE foods! It was hard, but I stood strong and walked into the meeting with my own, Whole30 approved lunch. I got some looks and questions from co-workers, but when the other ladies started walking in with their own lunch, the pressure reduced. While I enjoyed the lovely smells, I did NOT stray from the plan...and for that I'm feeling great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowLily Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Willpower will only get us so far. You're already back up and running...kudos to you. You've already made all of the right choices. It is so worth it to keep breaking the cycle of thrill eating. So I wouldn't call your off-roading a failure but an awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunsBuns Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Day 8 - I'm doing much better this time around. It's still a much larger struggle though. The first time I had very little temptations and this time around I find myself constantly thinking...oh one bite wont hurt, or just this one time. Thankfully that little voice deep down screams loudly DON'T DO IT!!!! and I'm listening to that little voice As the days go on and I get back into the routine it's getting easier and easier. I'm already starting to feel better and more motivated to to get up and move! Last night I had an epic fail cooking moment. I saw this video about making "scramboiled eggs" where you shake up the egg, in the shell, and then boil it, then when you peel it, it's white and yellow all mixed up. I followed the directions exactly and all of my eggs cracked open while they boiled . I guess it wasn't meant to be LOL I thought it would be a fun change, since the one thing I get exhausted eating by the end of the 30 days is EGGS!!
