Bucket Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Tomorrow I start my first non-crossfit related Whole30. I have completed 3 Whole30s in the past with the support and encouragement of my local box. However, after falling out of love with crossfit - okay, I never really fell in love with it (just the community and the people) - I have decided it is time to do another Whole 30. This time I will be pairing it with C25K. I used to really love running, but fell out of love with it, so my hope is to get back to it during this Whole 30 Challenge. Today was W1D1 C25K and I am determining what I want to eat tonight to say good bye to things like tacos and indian fried rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Day 2 or how I know I am not ready for this. Yes, this is my 3rd Whole30, but this time I am doing it without the support I am used to having and also with a husband who wants to hear as little about this Whole30 as possible. He is totally supportive of clean eating, but he is tired of hearing about Whole30 changes and drama and I respect that. Well that stuff combined with a crossfunctional lunch today with mole that may have been questionable made me dive off the deep end. So, tomorrow will be Day 1 over again, and I am okay with that. Also, today I missed me run because of the pouring down rain. I don't mind light rain, but this was unbearable. Now, of course a few hours later (and after eating) it has cleared up, so I feel like a bit of a loser. M1 Butternut squash and peruvian ground beef M2 Mole pork, which turned into some tortillas and rice as they could not confirm the paleo-ness of the mole sauce M3 off the rails with rice, ground beef, and avocado Dates It was not an awful day, but it was not Whole30. So tomorrow I will start again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shii Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 You've got this! It's rough when you don't have a ton of support. My spouse is supportive and helpful... but also brought naan and multigrain rolls home this evening. (argh). My coworkers just roll their eyes at me for "not eating anything". It can feel lonely and frustrating when it's just you against a world full of non-compliant "food". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thank you, shii. Doing this alone has been a bit of a bummer. I really appreciate your encouragement and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Day 3 M1 Pot roast, arugula, root veggies M2 salmon, spaghetti squash, sunshine sauce M3 salmon, sunshine sauce, assorted veggies W1D3 C25k Fairly good day. Fish is not my favorite, so it was HUGE that I ate a bit a salmon at two of my meals. That said, because of my feelings on fish my protein portion was a bit low for those meals.

Bucket Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Positively ravenous on D4. Meals have been all compliant and good so far today, but I might been to up my fat and veggie intake as about 2-3 hours after lunch I was famished. No amount of water or tea could keep me from an epic bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shii Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Woo woo! Good job. I feel you on the being hungry soon after waking - I used to be able to go hours before getting hungry, but now I'm quite hungry within a half-hour of waking up. However, this may be a sign that your circadian rhythms governing the endocrine system and the release of your hormones might be getting back in sync.

Bucket Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Day 8 Still on top of it and going strong! I find that if I am not posting that means I am actually doing well holding myself accountable, which is always critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Day 10 - when you are going strong and then check the box of the tea that you love and you learn it has stevia leaf in it. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
