Whole30 Strong

[LoriLifts]

I have to confess..I've been a wishy washy Whole30 member. I've started many Whole30s but alas, have never finished the program.

 

But here's the good news. Despite being a part time Whole30er, I've had success with my goals.

 

In the springtime I participated in a Body Transformation contest. My plan was to do Whole30 for the entire 12 weeks. I didn't stick to the program 100%, but guess what? I won the contest!

 

Here's my before photo. I was mostly eating from the "do not eat" Whole30 list.

 

Here's my after photo. I was Whole30 compliant about 80% (ok, about 70%) of the time.

 

 

My next goal is all about strength. I signed up for a hardcore class that involves barbells and kettle bells. My plan was to do Whole30 for the entire 8 weeks. I haven't stuck with the program 100% (sound familiar?). But guess what? I'm getting strong!

 

Here I am dead-lifting 195 lbs. 

 

I'm happy with my accomplishments but dang it, what would have happened if I stayed with the Whole30 program? 

 

My Whole30 failures are haunting me. It's time to do something about it.

 

Back soon with my new goals..
