jchamb26 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So I was an exercise and health science major in school and REALLY enjoyed manipulating my body through diet and exercise and really seeing what worked and what didnt back then. Im 26 now and Its been 3 years and I really went off the deep end; started smoking, binge eating for a period in there, and generally just not eating healthy and not even a thought of exercise. Since I have been dealing with some extreme fatigue at different times of the day, along with some moderate depression in general because of the way I feel compared to how I used to. Back pain and neck pain from constant tension and stress as well. Admittedly this will be my first paleo-esk attempt but I am excited to prove to myself it can be done. Really aiming for the difference in how I feel vs. what the scale says. Once I whole30 I may introduce slowly some other non-whole30 complaint but paleo non the less foods from civlizedcavemancooking. I plan to share progress and would hope to gain support as the sugar-dragon has really taken a whooping on my body over these past few years. I am very confident that with God's help and some will power this will be an incredibly amazing challenge to complete. Ready to get back on track physically. I subscribed for the $15 30 day encouragement and help from whole9life as well but now dont have access to my day 0 pack my work email deletes it from the servers once its opened so I cant access it remotely I was hoping to plan tonight and grocery store tomorrow if need be and make a simple breakfast... looks like I may actually start Friday if I cant get my day 0 pack tonight. My reward to myself is a Swedish message and crossfit enrollment once I complete my goal! Thanks and I look forward to my stay here, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladunn Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Awesome! I'm thinking about starting tomorrow mostly because the first week is rough getting through the "carb flu" and sugar withdrawal and I don't have to be back at work until Jan 2nd. I figured if I can spend the next 6 days getting on a schedule, while detoxing and having the extra time to sleep and be crabby in my own home, I should just go for it.

ladunn Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm in. Here's hoping I stick with it this time. This might be my 3rd or 4th attempt at a whole 30. I usually quit after 2 weeks. I think the extra support of the forum will help! About to eat my last NON whole30 meal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstepikura Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 jc good luck on the whole30. i have been a professional dieter and i knew what worked and what didnt, but those cookies and snacks were just so tasty. lol after changing jobs to a less physical one, getting married and have the stress from a job in NYC i have found it difficult to eat right, exercise and not stress eat. i hope these next 30 days go well for you and i hope i can do the same. we are all here to help and support eachother.

Jennifer1991 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi guys! Today is day 5 for me and I want to say how great a support network it is on here! My family aren't joining me so i'm finding it hard at the moment to get round that. Working hard though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchamb26 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Most assuredly Jennifer, you can do this I promise. it's actually nowhere near as hard as I was thinking and hopefully ill still be saying that in a few weeks. I am finding that I really enjoy cooking and preparing food like never before and that's keeping me motivated as well. Add exercise and i've been sleeping like a baby!

Jennifer1991 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Finally half way! And last night I was plagued with dream cheats...me stuffing my face with lemon pie!! I woke up massively guilty and then massively relieved! http://munchingandmoving.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/cup-half-full.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladunn Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 dream cheats are the worst!!! Congrats on halfway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer1991 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 OK so Day 18...and hit massively with cravings! I thought I was past this now. I am sitting in a coffee shop surrounded by people eating pastries and my mouth is watering like crazy! I haven't eaten a pastry in months and months, so why do I want one now? I'm not hungry at all, my scrambled eggs and spinach breakfast saw to that. Anyone else hit a wall this late in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
