ConnieOI Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I've started today, 27th July 2016. I know that a random Wednesday isn't the obvious day to start, but it works for me! I purchased the Whole30 Kindle book on Sunday, and as I have lots of things coming up in the next few weeks, needed to get started before my motivation went away. Did you start today?

ConnieOI Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi @Sweets4 and @oogabooga! So glad you started with me. How are you both doing after just a day? I did really well yesterday, but I expected to since it was my first day. The thing I expected to be most of a problem wasn't. I drink tea with milk every morning. I tried almond milk a few days ago and decided against it. So yesterday I drank Earl Gray with a bit of lemon. It wasn't my normal tea, but it was ok.

oogabooga Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi! I'm good today, yesterday was pretty unstructured but with compliant foods. A bit too much coconut milk/cream (whatever the solid part in the milk can is) but hoping to get the balance right. Day 3 is usually my day of doom. I'm a black tea girl - I usually have milk in my coffee but have been having it black. Put some ice cubes in it today as it's pretty warm and it was nice.

Bobbieajd Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I started July 27 too so far so good but I have been on and off paleo for a few years. Some of my "good" choices like organic wegmans ketchup don't work now though so I am adapting lol. I made the whole30 ketchup last night. My stomach aches today though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oogabooga Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I started July 27 too so far so good but I have been on and off paleo for a few years. Some of my "good" choices like organic wegmans ketchup don't work now though so I am adapting lol. I made the whole30 ketchup last night. My stomach aches today though This inspired me to make a batch of 'ketchup' at the last minute today. I didn't have any dates/sweetener but it's actually really nice - kind of like a pasta sauce with a kick. Cracker of a headache today - thought it might be from not having caffeine this morning or being a bit dehydrated but part of me would actually be pleased if it's a result of Whole30. I like the thought of clearing some of the nasties out Hope the stomach plays ball xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbieajd Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Yay for "ketchup" How is everyone doing? Day 3 was ROUGH for me. Day 4 okay. Now on day 5 I feel pretty amazing. Been helping my oldest move into his first home ( with only a fridge and grill so far) so food has been a bit of a challenge but we are eating lots of fresh fruits vs. the typical cheese and crackers I would have normally brought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oogabooga Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well done, sounds like you've done really well with what you've got. Moving is always a rather mammoth undertaking. I've been doing pretty well: body doesn't look different though my skin seems to be clearer. I was pleased with the choices I made today while surrounded by other foods and only needed 3 meals (and didn't eat anything extra despite knowing that). Had a bit less fruit today as well - I know it's good stuff but I felt like I had a bit much the past couple of days. Keeping busy seems pretty important too. I had a bit of a spat with my sister on day 4 - not sure if it was kill all the things or because I was totally right and she was totally wrong haha. On we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnieOI Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 This would have been easier for me if I hadn't started a few days before our family holiday... Oh, well, I needed to start so I didn't lose momentum. My husband and little boy have been very supportive so far. We're camping, so we're cooking a lot of our food but also eating out a lot, compared to being at home. We're having a quiet day at the campsite (it's a good thing -- it's a bit rainy in King's Lynn today!) and I planned ahead for tasty health food today. I'm glad you're doing well. It's Day 7 and we're about to hit the end of week one! Haven't we done well?! Let's pat ourselves on the back.:-D :-) :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oogabooga Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Well good on you ConnieOI - it'd be really easy to just use this trip as a reason to throw it in so you're doing well. Good to see the men folk are helping out too. I think we all know that there will never be a perfect time to do this - I've now got a "dinner and drinks" thing on Wednesday, but will stick with it. Part of me in enjoying knowing how many good choices I've made of late, including about things I was unable to stick with before. So yay. Happy day 7.

kmr1001 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Hello! I also started on July 27th! Wednesday seemed like as good a day as any to start! Is it the first Whole30 for anyone else? How's it going for you all now that we have finished day 13?? I'm slowly starting to see improvements, but my stomach was not loving all the healthy food the first few days (as sad as that is to admit), but I powered through and feel pretty good now! Ate out at a restaurant for the first time last night, and it was an experience! I am so impressed you went camping ConnieOI!! Happy day 13 everyone! Almost halfway there!

DPCFNP Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I started July 27th as well! Tomorrow is day 14! Feeling good! More energy and clothes fit better. I'm cooking again which is a huge hit with foods that have amazing flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
