AprilM Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 My selected start date is April 8th (lack of grocery money being the reason for that). However, I have already cut sugar, dairy and grains out of my food intake as of two days ago. I have not had coffee in 2 days and man I am feeling it today. I have a headache from hell. The reason I have not had coffee is because it's a crutch for me (although it does help with keeping my headaches and migraines at bay) and I would rather not have to continue relying on that crutch. I did step on the scale this morning, and will not be doing it again until I make it through my 30 days. I cried as I watched the numbers stop at 278lbs. This is the heaviest I have ever been and it's heartbreaking for me to see that number. I am not doing the Whole30 JUST to try to lose weight. I am doing the Whole30 because I want to improve my health all around, both physical and mental. I am tired of being tired! My Meal 1 this morning consisted of 4 eggs, cut up pieces of broccoli, cut up pieces of cauliflower, cut up pieces of carrots and a portion of my left over grilled salmon from Meal 3 last night. I scrambled it all together and cooked it like that using a little bit of Avocado oil to cook it in. Next to my scrambled egg mix, I included leafy greens (spring mix + baby spinach mix). To drink with my Meal 1, I sliced up half of a cucumber and put it in my Define Bottle, pouring a bottle of water over it to make my own infused water.

AprilM Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Not sure why my post up there went all funky o.O Anyway! Having had nothing with sugar in it and nothing with caffeine in it today... I have a raging headache that's trying to turn into a migraine. Wow this is rough feeling. I'm also more tired than I usually am. Whew, glad I'm getting some of these feelings out of the way before my start date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilM Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Funny thing! I had my doctor appointment this morning. First thing they always do is weight. Stepped on their scale, ready to cringe. Their scale says I'm only 270 lbs! I think I like that weight better than the 278 lbs I got on ex-husband's scale yesterday morning. Doc even high fived me cause apparently at my last appointment I was 275 lbs. I showed him the info packet from the Whole30 website. He not only gave me a thumbs up, but he gave me his and his wife's cell phone numbers, telling me to call one of them if I find myself losing my battle to the sugar dragon or some other not so healthy craving! I LOVE my doctor. Seriously. He's amazing. Today is a GREAT day <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilM Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have had to push back my starting date My allergies kicked in hard and since I have a compromised immune system, it left me wide open for other things to hit me as well. Swallowing anything is painful, while trying to chew (gum really since I have no teeth) while being unable to breathe out my nose at all is impossible. I have zero appetite at the moment as well because of being sick. Currently, I'm just trying to not have to go to the hospital because of my compromised immune system. I was so excited about starting yesterday and then this happened. Talk about feeling discouraged. Hopefully I don't end up remaining sick for too long, but as soon as I am over this crud, I do plan to start, I'm just currently unable to say an actual date for attempting to start :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
