Kimchickens Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I am finally committing! Day one on the books. I began yesterday April 25:) Yesterday I ate an Asian pear, spinach salad with cukes, tomatoes, broccoli carrots, cranberries, broccoli w/ balsamic and olive oil. Cashews for a snack and dinner I ate broccoli, baked potato, lean steak, and ghee. I drank 2 Le Croix with a spritz of pomegranate juice ( 2 cups of black coffee) I woke up this morning with a headache. I suspect sugar detox! I ate two clementines, drank lots of water and just finished a large cup of black coffee. I planned to take a Pure Barre class today and or go for a jog, but I think I will lay low for now until my headache subsides. A good excuse to CHILL I am thrilled to get back to my HEALTHIER habits. Thanks for the support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJo09 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Good on you taking it easy on yourself - free first week or so can be pretty draining. Make sure you eat more though - your headache might also be due to lack of food. It looks like only 2 meals yesterday? And no protein in the first meal. Make sure you follow the meal template as it will help you get the best from your whole 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimchickens Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thank you! I did and quickly recovered! I ate leftover lean meat from the night before, a mango, carrots, apple, almond butter and for dinner I made chicken thighs roasted with bell peppers red potatoes, garlic and rainbow carrots, apple for dessert. Plenty of H20 and le Croix x2:) Day 3: I feel much better w/ no headache! I took my Pure Barre class this morning and noted a little more sweating than usual ( still detoxing?) I have eaten one clementine, one Asian pear, a large handful of cashews, three eggs from my chickens, one small avocado, a handful of spinach topped with grape tomatoes and sprouts Plenty of water and a large black coffee!

Kimchickens Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Day 4: I did wake up with a dull headache that only lasted until 10:30. I pushed through my Pure Barre class! Today I was weak at getting good protein in early, but I did get some cashews in, two clementines, Asian pear, RX bar, more cashews, dried apricots and some carrots in!Last night I stuffed bell peppers with turkey, and I made slaw salad with apples, cider vinegar, and Tassamans chipotle ranch. I am making roasted sweet potatoes topped with homemade chimichurri, grilled burgers with lettuce buns, (tomato onion spinach, mustard, and pickles) Right now at 500pm, I feel a little tired but writing this has energized me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimchickens Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Day 5: I awoke with a very slight headache that quickly remediated itself. Last night I got up three times to urinate, and my bladder was full when I got up at 0700. Not my norm, but my thirst has increased, and my regular 3 -64 oz H2o has probably increased to 4 or 5! Today was a good day, not hungry off the bat. I made myself eat some cashews and an apple. After church, I went grocery shopping and came home to leftovers for lunch and had a burger salad w/ LTO, mustard pickles, and slaw from 2 nights ago. I snacked on a handful of pistachios and had, of course, drank plenty of water all day. Tonight we are having clean corn beef braised w/ carrots, napa cabbage, onions, and carrots. I may treat myself to a lemon (compliant) Lara Bar after dinner. My focus has been decent, I don't feel too tired, but my eyes look tired probably from last nights bathroom trips. I completed my weeks class work, started next weeks and I am ready for action work tomorrow:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimchickens Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Day 11! Busy work and school week I am hanging in there. I do feel FULLER most of the time and pants are snug, but I guess that's normal. I have had some mild headaches in the morning that self-remedied. Read that headaches and weakness I experience in workouts maybe due to sodium depletion ( I get up several times at night to urinate) because of a low carb diet and the suggestion is bone broth. Does anyone have any input? I do notice during my Pure Barre workout in the mirror fuller arms and chest compared to usual ( weight gain) and my strength is weaker possibly due to added weight. I am staying patient through I noted some unexpected bowel movements that usually only occur throughout the day because of gastritis. Otherwise, I feel good and free from sugar, alcohol and other non- whole, processed food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
