Stbortko Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Jotted down goals, recipes, read the book, killed it at the grocery store, and did some spring cleaning. Now time to spring clean my bod. Frexcited couldn't explain it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraSurferGirl Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm starting today too! Gonna steal the term Frexcited for sure. Read the book, spent three weeks of preparing and planning, including cleaning out my fridge and pantry. Woke up last night at 10pm and had a sugar craving - and wanted to have one last thing, only to discover there wasn't any in the house anymore (thankfully). Happy to connect with others starting today and support each other. Sara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmie28 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Today is my day 1 as well! Had friends over last night and had my last cocktail for the next 30 days! Enjoyed a kitchen sink scramble this morning and I'm looking forward to the next month! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmaleaf Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Alisa... let's start one! How's everyone doing so far? I had a hard time eating so much for breakfast this morning and I'm definitely feeling tired and sluggish today. My body is wondering where the sweets and carbs have gone!

SaraSurferGirl Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Emmaleaf - agree let's start a group (yet to figure out how to do that on this forum). Day two and I'm so tired and sluggish too - like I didn't sleep even though I got 8 hours. Powering through though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdoyle955 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Started yesterday, too. Or restarted I should say. I originally started 2 weeks ago,but I've been reading nutritional labels & not ingredient lists on some of my food choices. Result...there is turbinado sugar in my bacon & my sausage. Wahhhhh! I've had butter twice & have been using stevia. All that to say, I'm starting over. Yesterday was my new day 1. If I'm going to do this, I want to do it right. Super clean eating from here on out. I did find a whole30 approved bacon at new seasons yesterday...woohoo! I did this 2 years ago also, but looking back I don't think I did it to the tee. That is my new goal this time around.

AlisaO Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 This thread can be our support group. This is my second Whole30. I did one a year ago and really liked it. I have been eating healthy this past year, but I wanted to do another complete Whole30. I am so excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MimiX2 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I started yesterday, too.....First time trying the program - did my planning and cleaned out the pantry and fridge. Reading labels to see what would fit the program, I was shocked to see how much sugar is added to so many products. Feeling a little sluggish and tired but it seems to be the norm. I am determined to commit to the full thirty days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LydiaJo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I did a restart yesterday so this is day 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaleaf Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 How's everyone doing today? I am so sleepy again. I think I need to get much more sleep. I've had insomnia for years and would like to be able to stop taking sleep meds. This plan has made me much more tired. I'd love to see what others are eating! I had a weird breakfast because I slept in and didn't have time to make my eggs and greens... Breakfast: tuna with hard-boiled egg, a sweet potato, and some blackberries. Lunch: I brought chicken, squash and tomatoes, avocado, and a salad with spinach, carrots, and bell pepper with a Whole 30-fied Olive Garden dressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraSurferGirl Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm doing pretty good today - still pretty tired in the AM, even though I'm getting a lot of sleep. But I think my afternoon energy is a bit more stable, I'll keep an eye on it. Yesterday I made a SUPER yummy dinner of Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice with Tandori Chicken and Coconut curry sauce. Then I threw in gaucamole, carmalized onion and mango! so very statisfying and made me happy. Also I'm tracking my meals and recipes on instagram so you can see it there if you want @sarasurfergirl. This morning I did eggs with some slow cooked kalua pork and hot sauce. Lunch is pork tacos with mango, gauc and onions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZH1949 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 April 18th was also my first day. I am looking forward to the challenge. I am an older adult female and although I have generally been a "healthy" eater most of my life, I have found that I have put on "weight" in all the wrong places. I am hoping to lose the belly fat as I get "reset". I think my biggest challenge will be no alcohol .. Wish me luck!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBMilaD Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi y'all! Started Monday as well. I've been having a hard time with the early breakfasts. Don't like that full feeling! Hopefully it will pass. I survived dinner out with friends last night. Feeling energized today for some reason. Lunch today was random: olives, turkey slices, avocado, and a small tomato. Looking forward to steak and sweet potato tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittymom4 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hey you guys mind if I join this thread? Day one for me April 20th---I'm getting the feeling most people start this in the beginning of the week. You all will just be a few days ahead of me-so I'll know whats coming! Can't believe how hungry/sluggish I am (have a headache) already and it's just the first day. Gonna stick with it--here's hoping THAT doesn't hang on for a whole 30 days...

Bzh Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I am trying to lose weight and just had a great salad with lots of olives, then I looked at the nutritional information and saw how many calories there were, YIKES!!! I need to be careful not to overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaleaf Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Glad you all are here! Smittymom... absolutely join us! I just had an iced cofffee with coconut milk. Thank goodness we can have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLKuga Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca and, while I've been familiar with the Whole30 program for a couple years when I read "It Starts With Food", I just committed to and started the program on Monday, April 18th. The first day was fine but I definitely experienced detox symptoms yesterday: frequent trips to the bathroom and a slight headache. But today is Day 3 and I feel better. Slept very well, too. I'm realizing the extreme importance of meal planning for the week, as evidenced by my anxiety spike last night as I planned what I was cooking for dinner tonight. Fortunately, it all worked out and the wife and I will be doing our meal planning each weekend for the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually started on April 19th. Feeling hungry/sluggish means it is working. That phase did not last long for me during my first W30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LydiaJo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Bzh, It's not about calories. Follow the food template. Before my restart I was at day 21. The only thing I looked at were ingredients. By the second week I felt better and was sleeping better then I had in a very long time. Make sure you get enough protein and fluids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinesbeads Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I also started on April 18th, my kids and husband are not doing it with me. I made them a totally non compliant dinner, it's really hard not to taste the cheese and breads I am making for them! So far I am not feeling too bad. I have had some potatoes every day. I made some egg muffins with shredded sweet potato egg sausage and swiss chard. They are quick to reheat so I have something to eat while my kids are eating their waffles or cereal.
