Noflexzone Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I work 2nd shift and just got home. Making mayo, protein salad, guacamole and prep for kitchen sink eggs for breakfast in the morning. My 14yo daughter is doing this with me and we are on different schedules so I have to make sure I have things done before I go to work so she can have dinner and such while I am at work. Hopefully this is the only night I will have to stay up like this. Good luck everyone on your first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earoti Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi! I'm starting my 2nd whole 30 on the 6th! I'm excited to refresh and reset and get back on track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyFox Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi, I'm starting today, 9/6! Did NOT get my prepping done this weekend, despite the extra day, so will be working on that this evening. Hope everyone has a great first day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.colleen Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Today is day 1 for me. Just had 2 hard boiled eggs and an apple (Boston, MA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaGus Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi! I am starting my first WHole30 today and so so excited! I think my biggest challenge will be finding a way to enjoy my coffee without cream. I have done away with the sugar, but I do not like coconut milk or almond milk in my coffee ... so this will be a struggle. Looking forward to starting this journey!

Rachlbright Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Me too! This will be my 3rd round but the 2nd didn't go so well so really hoping to be able to stay motivated and on track this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whole30ally Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I started today and I'm scared! In the past I have started (and failed) many types of diets hoping for a quick fix. I have wanted to do a whole30 for a while- have read and pinned a ton of recipes so I guess there is no time like the present....time to really clean up my eating for good.

I was pleasantly surprised today with my coffee. I did a cup of brewed coffee, one mejdool date and half a cup of coconut milk. Pinch of cinnamon. Blended it and drank over ice. I am only having it once a day because of the date but it really was delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherKatrina Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Dear Whole30ally: I'm a newbie and I will do my best to support you! Have you gone through your pantry and read labels? It's shocking (and should be motivating) to see how many products contain added sugar and artificial sugars... Not to mention all the soy hiding out as well. I'm at the point where (at least today) I don't want those things in my body. Hang in there! Katrina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whole30ally Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thanks Katrina. I have been good with reading labels. I just need to commit to making the time to prep for myself. I'm a mom to 3 kids- often I end up grabbing from their plates and snacks which is no good for momma! One thing I'm pretty nervous about- this wekeend my family and I are invited out for lunch to someone's house how do I accept but keep on whole30? Do I offer to bring my own food? I will feel like a weirdo eating my own stuff at the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmytime Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm starting today too! Read ISWF in May, spent the summer thinking about it and how wondering when I can find 30 days.... After committing to a tart date, I stressed myself out about menu planning. Then I realized I should just plan a few days at a time and not for the full week, so shopped Sunday and cooked Monday. Turns out I've pretty much got the first week covered after all! This is my first time - and I am starting from an unhealthy + binged over the weekend place. As you can see from my screen name, it's time to take care of me. Equal parts excited and terrified but I can do this. WE can do this. Here we go!!!!

pennylane14 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi all! Started today as well! This is my fifth go-round, the impetus being summer travel/birthdays (where I tend to treat yo' self) and a half marathon on October 15. I always feel amazing during a Whole30 and want that feeling to carry over to my training. Happy to see so much excitement in this group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will feel like a weirdo eating my own stuff at the table Call whomever has invvited you & explain that you're on an elimination diet to try & firgre out some foods that may be effecting your health. YOu can either run over thr ules - being very specific about what you can and can not have - or offer to bring something of your own. So say they can provide a compliant protein for instance (like dry grilled steaks) then you could bring a veg dish & a fat source, or a salad & compliant dressing. Once you've done it once it's really not all that bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovinMountains Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I started today. The work part was pretty easy aside from this lack of Diet Coke headache. Now I'm headed home for an evening with my 3 littles (4 yo, twin 2 yos). Thankfully, tonight's dinner is easy to make and kid-friendly Salsa Verde Chicken.

FeedingFive Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi, I am Amanda. I have 5 children, ages 23, 21, 18, 15 and 12. Two are away at college. I started today as well! It is always nice to find kindred spirits. I am a w30 newbie. I have had some health issues of late that are proving a little hard to cure and giving up sugar seemed to be a possible help. That led me to this plan. I am looking forward to the month to come and the possibilities that could be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Camper Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hi All, Today is Day 1 for me too! This is my first Whole30 . Looking forward to some positive changes in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamagill08 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I am too! I was going to start on the 5th and felt like today was a better fit. Had egg muffins, bacon and roasted sweet potatoes for M1, salad w/Grilled turkey breast and homemade balsamic vinegarette along with more sweet potatoes for M2 and beef, peppers, zucchini and some cauliflower rice for M3. Had a whole 30 approved Lara bar as a snack to get me through. Still pretty nervous about this journey. Excited to take this journey with you all!

TeacherKatrina Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Great job, Mamagill08!!! I work at a middle school and our staff room today was stocked with "happy back to school" nutrigrain bars, chocolate kisses and the like. Honestly, I was concerned I might forget and pick something up without thinking! That said, I made it through the day compliant and not hungry.. Still nervous, though.

Noflexzone Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Today wasn't so bad. Had kitchen sink eggs for breakfast. Made protein salad with tuna had that for lunch on mixed greens with cucumbers, dried cranberries, almonds. Dinner was steak with caramelized onions and steamed broccoli cauliflower and carrots. Every now and again bad foods crossed my mind. Not that I wanted it but almost like my mind was saying it knows something is missing. I hope it was my mind letting me know it's on board with my program. Keep on pushing ladies and gentlemen. 1 down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like all the 'stuff' I put in it. I will try your method this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
