JulieP757 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Day 29 M1 - 3 eggs scrambled in compliant bacon fat, 1.5 pc Pederson's sugar free bacon, roasted butternut squash sprinkled w cinnamon and sauteed in ghee, black coffee M2 is the unknown today. Maybe salad, maybe West african stew or chili from the freezer M3 - Nom Nom Paleo's Korean short ribs made w chuck roast instead, french green beans w ghee, mashed potatoes (made w ghee and compliant chicken stock) So far my NSVs are: Sugar cravings are completely under control. This in itself is a miracle since I started Jan 1 after three weeks of holiday sugar binging. There's still a bowl of holiday chocolates on the foyer table and not once have I been tempted. There have been numerous stressful "chocolate trigger" moments at work, but I have not succumbed. Over the holidays I had horrible IBS symptoms due to eating a bunch of junk. My "constitution" is almost back to normal. It has improved week after week. This alone should keep my eating in check going forward. I can only hope. Some clothing is getting looser - not all, but some. I tend to lose inches from places I could care less about first, and not from my lower abdomen, hips and thighs where I really need it. I had noticed that my bra band had gotten really tight and I had a pretty significant "back roll" going on when I wore a sports bra to the gym. My bras are back to fitting well and there is no more roll. I wish I could say that about the muffin top action I've got going on. In due time..... Aside from a few nights where I was too excited or stressed to sleep (due to buying a new home), my sleep has improved. I wouldn't say I have tiger blood, but my energy level is pretty darn good. I'm an accountant and year end close is grueling - I'm talking 80 hours a week grueling. I made it through just fine - started to get cold a couple of times, but was able to ward it off quickly. I do think eating well helps the immune system. I am going to opt not to weigh myself on Day 31. Instead, I will soldier on for another 30 to 60 days. This way of eating isn't so hard for me. It's so much harder for me to ride my own bike. For now, I need the rules of the Whole 30. I already know that dairy, soy, gluten, most non-gluten grains and most legumes do not play nice with my body - no reintroduction necessary here.
