Day 23 blahs

[Deb G]

I Haven't weighed myself but I really don't feel like I've lost anything. My clothes aren't any loser and there are a few places I feel a little teeny bit better about but just barely. I'm trying not to get discouraged and focus on the nsvs, but it's hard. I DO have more energy, am falling to sleep so much better and am WAY happier/more patient. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong though not to loose weight, like eating too much at meals? I've cut back on fruit and have been rarely if ever snacking. Other than that I've been 10"% compliant. Maybe too much fat? I don't know.

I've been working out too, averaging 14,000 steps a day and either resistance training or lifting 2 times a week minimum.

I want a drink tonight is all I know. Not bad enough to actually do it, but damn a glass of wine sounds good right now.

Blah.

Anyone out there feeling like this? Or have any help/suggestions?

This is not a weight loss diet. It's an elimination plan to see how foods affect your body. Some loose weight, but it is not the point of the program.

ACk! That was supposed to be 100% compliant!

I'm on Day 23 also. I honestly feel no different. Energy was never an issue for me so not sure if I have "more" or not.  Not sure I've dropped a pound and have also been 100% compliant.  I'm just holding out for 7 more days because I can say I completed it.

I am on Day 23, and have seen some huge benefits, but I am also kind of blah.  Last night I had sugar cravings for the first time, which is weird because I am not a sweets person even off the Whole 30.  (chips and popcorn are my downfall, but I haven't craved them either).  I am committed to seeing this through, but I had to bow out of a social engagement last night and send my bf off on his own because the thought of being around other people who are drinking and eating whatever they want while I try to cobble something together two nights in a row was too much.  We went to our favorite Mexican place on Sunday and there was so little I could eat.  A  plate of shrimp and steamed broccoli costing $20 was what he and I figured I could eat, and that kind of broke my spirit.

 

This turned into a bit of a "woe is me" post, but my plan was to tell you that I think this may be a common thing at this point.  It's not exciting and new anymore, and as you get more comfortable and put yourself out there more, you become more aware of the things you can't have.
