ncimi Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Day 1 of a W120, 172.2 lbs. I want to "journal" this as I did for my first W30 back in May 2015 just as a way to keep momentum and have a way to answer to myself. I need food freedom and a way to get away from stress eating and the mentality of when one thing isn't working in life EVERYTHING must go to hell. I just want to give a sh*t again. Got up @ 5am and worked out - just a half hour but the getting up and out after weeks of no activity was a nice beginning victory. Dealing with the aftermath of a weekend filled with food/drink debauchery over the weekend, therefore I'm keeping it light and bland today. B - egg hash, reduced intake of coffee to 2 cups L - grilled chicken and guac D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in that boat too, of just wanting to get rid of all of the "out of control" eating/emotional eating/cheat night turning into cheat weekend etc. Good luck!

ncimi Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Day 2 of W120 These first few days are always rough. Missed am workout, hoping to get one in tonight. Would be nice to get out of the 3 pant rotation for work and wear some real clothes - it's been way too long. B - egg hash and breakfast meatballs L - complaint kielbasa, apple sauce and baked zucchini D - iheartumami's marinated pork loin - she's got really great recipes!

ncimi Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Day 3 of 120 Taking this one day at a time. So far no real cravings just feeling on edge and tired - but I know that's normal. Trying to take a more positive approach with life in general! Thinking maybe it's not necessary to log my food but just reflect on my mental status - which is what 80% of the battle ha? Adding daily meditation to my list of what I hope to gain from this experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you as well - it will be nice to check with a fellow 120-er from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncimi Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Day 4 of 120 Staying positive rather than thinking about things (food) I can't have, thinking about the really, really good food we eat on this plan! It tastes so good I just don't get why I keep going back to the crap - not anymore, right? That's the plan and I'm sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Gratitude is a great focus! I will take that one too. So grateful for the Whole 30 and this Forum! Have an amazing weekend :-) Love, Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncimi Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yikes! Day 11 of 120 - it's been busy apparently so I haven't checked in. Still going strong and I feel less prone to bailing with each day (I think haha). To continue the gratitude theme, I am consciously trying to move my thoughts from default cynical/skeptical/negative to free/positive/love/thanks - finding the plus in each and every situation I'm in - even with kids that drive me totally nuts and co-workers that are balls of negativity! This is proving to be as difficult as sticking to the W30!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatgirlwholaughs Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'd love to be added to this group. Just starting today, but know for sure with my habits and autoimmune things likely I need to go more than 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
