Chieftess Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hello! I am Sharon, 58 years old, starting my 2nd Whole30. I did a month last August, and felt great!! Ihad been pretty good about sticking with a basically Whole30 diet since then. However, in the past few months, I have gone way over to the "dark side", feeding my Sugar/Carb Dragon whenever she reared her head, drinking too much alcohol (there is always a social setting, friend gathering, beach day to make an excuse to have another glass of wine! )and generally feeling sluggish and out of sorts. I am used to being physically active, and try to walk/run, golf, swim as often as possible, but I feel my metabolism sliding, my energy flagging, and just generally don't feel good about myself. SO!! I just woke up late last week and said "enough!". I know what to do to get back on track, so here I am!! Looking forward to this month with support! I didn't sign up for the forums or as a member last go-round, because my husband was doing the Whole30 with me, and felt I could do it alone. This time, I want to keep myself on track and focused, and thought I could use the support for those tough days and tough situations. Here we go!!

Suzhuv Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hello! I am Suzanne, 53 years old, and this is my first whole 30. I'm pretty excited to have made it to day 4!!! I started on July 15. I understand the sluggish and out of sorts feeling you described and I am finally doing something about it! I have 5 kids, all but one are adults, so now I am putting myself at the front of the line for a while. My goal is to be able to bring some control in my eating habits and hopefully get back the energy that I once had. I'm curious about the reintroduction phase of the program to see if certain foods are causing problems for me. Losing a couple of pounds would be nice, but that's not the main goal for me. I have always been active, jogging, swimming, camping, etc, but a shoulder injury and plantar fasciitis have sort of sidelined me for a couple of months. I still keep up with fitness with water aerobics classes. I've never stuck with a "diet" before........... I'm 4 days in and, so far, so good!

Chieftess Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'll partner with you if you want! We could probably relate with our lifestyles. I'm on Day 2 and doing okay but know there will be some rougher times ahead. We have a wedding Saturday, I do outdoor concerts, etc, so staying compliant is a chance to plan ahead!

Suzhuv Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sounds like a plan. Winding down and staying strong (so far)! Only 26 to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzhuv Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 How are you doing? Hanging in there? I hope so. Today is day 6 for me and I powered through this morning starting with a friend over for coffee, and my son's friends spent the rest of thee day. I managed to serve cinnamon rolls with this morning's brunch. Pizza for the kids for lunch. Somehow, I stayed on track!!! I'm not sure how.......
