AlwyzSmiln Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Today is my first day of Whole30. Well, technically. I was meaning to start yesterday until I had a keurig "Cafe Vanilla" for breakfast - woah. That was an eye opener. So, I failed on day 1. But today is a new day 1 and I'm doing okay so far. I'm terrified to do this challenge. I'm terrified because I've failed at so many "challenges" before.. why would this one be any different? I'm a sugar addict. And I don't stop at one nibble... I eat two or three or four cookies, or whatever it may be. I'm sick and tired of failing. I know I'm really going to struggle these next 30 days... but I'll be posting on here often. Sorry if I become a broken record of whining.. I've been crossfitting for about 2 years now.. toyed on and off with paleo here and there. I love to cook... I love to "SAMPLE" while I bake. Ughhh! Most importantly, I'm looking forward to gaining CONTROL over my eating. Thanks for listening to the rants of a day 1 newbie! ~Shannon (Boise, Idaho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichol Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hi there! Today is my first day too! We can use each other as accountability! Cheer each other on if you will! I had my first cup of black coffee today and boy was that an eye opener! YUCK! and it set me up for a fowl mood during my morning workout. Might try to add in some cinnamon for flavor tomorrow or I might just have to give it up for this 30 day challenge! Good Luck! You're going to be great! Don't give up! Baby steps! We can help each other! Cheers... nichol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I did a Whole25 before the holidays and I'm back for my second round! I am also a coffee addict, but I was shocked how my tastebuds changed and I actually like black coffee! Maybe in a few days you will experience this surprise?!?! Cheering for you both!

AlwyzSmiln Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks Nichol... it's definitely eye opening when you realize how much sugar there is in just about everything. I have heard a lot of people do cinnamon in their espresso drinks, etc. So give that a whirl - it definitely sounds like it works for lots of people! Is this lifestyle change new to you? Or have you been on the fence with paleo for a while? I am one of THOSE people who "reward" themself with FOOD. I got my kipping pullup at CF, felt GREAT and said "I deserve a treat!" I tried to convince myself that pizza was a great reward for reaching a goal... BUT then I realized what I was doing, and said I have to stop rewarding myself with food. It truly is something I have done forever... I have a good day or a good week, so I indulge. Well, indulging will not get me to my goals, that's for sure. This is DEFINITELY a HUGE process to get my head wrapped around what needs to be done... but I am starting to realize what I am doing BEFORE I do it, so that's good!! Baby steps, like you said!

AlwyzSmiln Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Luckily for me, I actually am not a fan of coffee - espresso, yes... coffee, no. So, for now I'm just drinking green tea and loads of it (no stevia to sweeten it this time around!) But I imagine our taste buds will most certainly change... how could they not?? After dousing them with sweeteners out the gazoo the past month...! Cheers to you as well for round 2!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
