Jae Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi! My name is Jae. I'm 54 and don't remember a time when I wasn't in some sort of struggle with food. I'm not a junk food person, or the type that binges, I've just never really understood food. Last year some friends of mine at work wanted to start a fitness group that slowly took on 'getting it right' with workouts and diets and things. I love the exercise part, yet I feel that the word diet is misleading, and sort of a slippery slope. I may never love food, or eating, or preparing it, but I do want to understand it, what it does to my body, etc ... And I don't want it to be for "X" number of days, until ... I've seen what happens and it's super sad ... So, Feb 2 - food learning commences ... exercise is already pretty much in place ... P.S. I honestly do NOT know how to cook - I have one pot, one pan .. no stove, one burner, and a microwave .. this should be fun .. =:0] Jae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista Billows Rodriguez Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Good luck on the journey. If possible consider investing in a crock pot for easy protein cooking. Your kitchen resources sound rather limited, the crock pot could really help. You can Google or search on pinterest for whole 30 crock pot recipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thank you Krista! - A crockpot, yes .. that would be a good idea! I guess my frustrations with food keep me from see simple solutions ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdasmussen Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I am so excited to start this tomorrow. I'm a health and fitness coach working on getting absolutely ripped for a Cancun vacation and maybe even to start bikini model competitions. I've been "stuck" for a while now. I've realized my normal clean eating has put limitations on what I can accomplish. I do notice when I'm eating dairy, I gain 3-4lbs and feel inflamed and don't when I back off. I haven't made the whole switch to whole30 yet and after seeing my friend's results, I want to try it. I also struggle with bouts of depression and anxiety (anger) and horrible PMS so I'm hoping this will help me. Can't wait to meet all of you and get going!
