KNFigura Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Monday, June 29th, 2015 will start Day 1 of my second W30. I completed my first round in January2015 and it was awesome. My blood sugar levels were even throughout the whole day, I fit into my clothes better, and I just felt better about my postpartum body. The hardest part about my post W30 life was that I couldn't (wouldn't) stay away from food with no brakes and I slowly (and then very quickly) backslid into my old habits. Dairy- causes break-outs Grains- cause headaches Alcohol- causes poor decision making, but is also one of the harder things to break because I appreciate a really good craft brew or wine. I'm a working mom with week days that start between 330 and 430 AM. I'm at work by 630 and home around 430PM. Meal prepping is the most challenging, so I tend to make a breakfast or lunch that can last the whole work week. I want to go longer than a W30 because I feel like I really only scratched the surface on my first go around. I found out how I could feel and how I was affected by the processed foods I ate. My goal this time is to condition myself to be able to resist the food with no brakes and get in the habit of meal planning/ prepping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnepants Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm starting with you tomorrow! It'll be my first Whole30 and I am 40% excited and 60% nervous. I am very interested to see if my stomach and skin issues improve and if my headaches have anything to do with what I ingest. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran 2 miles at 11:46 pace.Pre-WO- Coconut La Croix and a handful of macadamia nuts.M1: Mangia Paleo's sausage and sweets breakfast bowl, blueberries, and a mug of coffee.After breakfast I felt like I got hit by a truck and needed to go to bed....but I'm at work. I needed a coffee, badly. I made a small mug of coffee and finally perked up. M1.5: Lab-wide summer brunch (joy). I brought stuff for a watermelon, spinach, feta, basil, and balsamic glaze salad. I am proud of myself because I made a small bowl of watermelon, spinach, and basil and didn't touch anything on that table! balsamic glaze had HFCS in it, so I didn't use it on my stuff. M2: same as yesterday, minus the La Croix water. M3: Roasted chipotle dusted sweet potato fries and the Whole30 book's Perfect oven-baked salmon (we are actually using tilapia). Water: 50 oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnepants Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Are you able to go for a walk at work to pep you up? I'm going to have to look into the sausage and sweets bowl. I can't stand Italian sausage, so I'll have to substitute, but it sounds good otherwise! Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNFigura Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 I was fine after a small mug of coffee. I had been double fisting it, so the withdrawal has been rough. You can sub ANY sausage. I use chicken and apple sausage from aidell's brand (obviously, just make sure to read your ingredients before buying!). It is not at all spicy and is whole30 approved because they use fruit juice, instead of sugar or maple syrup. MangiaPaleo.com is awesome. She is more geared to Paleo for ulcerative colitis, but pretty much all of her recipes can be altered for a W30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
