Jojo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I started with a Whole25 right after Thanksgiving. Talk about a learning experience! I cannot even begin to describe how empowering it has been. My motivation: lose a few lbs, deal with never-ending digestive issues, and clear up my skin. It became so much more than that.... I felt in control, empowered, excited and UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY! I wasn't even aware I felt blue in the first place. Euphoric is the right word! I'm back and feeling much wiser.... Today is Day1 of a new Whole30. 1. Checking ingredients is a habit. All (cans of tuna, balsamic, etc.) are not created equal. I never slipped up but I have random ingredients like a 1/2 gal of coco milk I'll never drink. 2. I didn't do so well slaying that sugar dragon, so no fruit will be used to feed that B**** this time(I mean, beast.) 3. Nuts = breakouts. Staying away this time! 4. Salt = yet another addiction. Limiting what I sprinkle on my veggies. 5. Also, I want to go back and set better goals and take advantage of the fabulous resources in the emails. I practically want to pay the $14.95 again...in fact, as ridiculous as it sounds.... I MIGHT! Started my day today with eggs on top of salad with lamb sausage. A month ago, I would have laughed out loud as I typed that. Today, well, it just feels great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpb Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Congratulations on how you're feeling Jojo and good luck for your next round. Getting prepped for this has been a real learning experience with regard to reading the ingredient list - even on something you think is compliant. Looking forward to hearing how you go with round 2!

CSB1960 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Checking labels is a real eye opener, was gonna make some tuna salad only to discover my tuna has soy in it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks, guys! This really made me laugh since I'm currently on grocery store #2 crossing my fingers for compliant tuna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariegray Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Reminds me of my last Whole 30 attempt where I discovered that my TEA had soy lecithin in it. Anyway, thanks so much for your comments on my log, it's nice to know someone is watching out! So you're starting up again??? Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yep! Starting today...I was bummed I didn't make it to 30 during my last attempt. I had a few sips of wine then went off the deep end! I absolutely love the cookbook, Well Fed, so just went out to get some ingredients...waiting for my chocolate steak chili to heat up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0426 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think my sugar dragon may be related to yours. They are quite the b****es aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
