I think about this time in my first Whole30 I was freaking out about reintroductions and worried about riding my own bike. This time I'm looking forward to the end. I want beer, cheese and almond flour pancakes.

I completely forgot about tiger blood. I haven't had it at all this round.

 

I'm coming to the conclusion that the dizziness is not food related (duh). It could be hormone related (duh) because I went off the pill when I started my first Whole30 so my body is experiencing a flood of hormones it's not used to. There are two flavors of dizziness though. One is the all day, pervasive, lightheadedness accompanied by just generally feeling crappy. The other is the temporary dizziness due to exercising. It's still a work in progress.

My stomach hurts, which never happens to me. I'm tired because I haven't slept well the last few nights. I'm cranky (see sleep). No tiger blood. No improvement in back pain. My first Whole30 was amazing. This one...not so much. I'm underwhelmed.  I don't even feel proud of myself for finishing it. In fact, I feel somewhat annoyed with myself that I feel underwhelmed and cranky. There are good things. I didn't gain weight this month (I weighed myself this morning and I'm up .4 from the end of my first Whole30). My wrist pain seems to be gone.
