Deb Froemming Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 just dropping in to say hello! I'm on Day 7 and it's getting easier! This was the first day I wasn't hungry for a morning snack. Day 6 was hard but I stuck to plan. Weekends at home used to find me popping popcorn, cooking & baking. None of that this weekend except for meals. I started without any shopping/planning and been winging it with a trip to the store almost daily. That's working for me for now. I know I'm eating fresh then. I'm browsing looking for meal ideas as I love to cook and don't want to get bored with the same old, same old. Hope you're having a good day!

Deb Froemming Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Day 8! I am wearing those black work pants that were just too snug around my waist! woot! and my work blouse is looser so yeh! damn this is good! For breakfast it was fast, 3 fried eggs in EVOO & leftover veggies. Lunch will be spinach salad with a grilled ckn breast, carrots, balsamic vinegar & an apple. Supper will be a steak and more veggies. Need to search for some of those egg muffin recipes & others also. Busy week but I'm starting to feel engergized and I have been eating trigger veggies for my GERD and not getting reflux so this is a good thing! My GI doc will be so happy in a couple weeks, he had wanted me to lose 10 pounds and I feel like I have already! woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Froemming Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Deb's Dazzling 30 Days Before Whole30 I was overweight & suffering from reflux due to a hiatal hernia and GERD. My GI doc suggested surgery to repair the hiatal hernia/reflux, I wasn't ready. I felt controlled by the foods I could eat that wouldn't trigger reflux and a prisoner to the medications. I didn't sleep well and woke often. I found Whole30 online, as I was looking for info on Paleo or Gluten-fee to help with the reflux. I jumped right in & it wasn't easy bit it got better! I learned to shop and read labels, as if it was the first time in a grocery store! Found I liked veggies I had not tried before from the Farmer's Market. Love trying new recipes with new ingredients! I feel so much better now after my first Whole 30! No more cravings and barely hungry ever! Before the end of week 1 I was re-introducing trigger foods, such as green pepper, onion and garlic AND not getting sick! What?? True!! This motivated me to stick with it! I love eating again! My clothes seem to be at least a size too big now. I see some shopping in my future! I am sleeping soundly and falling asleep easier. I visited my GI doc on Day 21 and he was amazed as my weight loss and how I felt! He had suggested gluten free and losing 10 pounds before that visit, well I went above and beyond that! I plan to continue with a Paleo lifestyle after re-introducing some foods and will be doing the Whole30 again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
