Best Day Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I found Whole 30 in 2017 and did my first in April of 2017. It was so hard most days, but as the non scale victories began to appear, I knew I had found something that works for me. I want to feel this good all the time, BUT, I want to enjoy wine, or a fabulous piece of bread, or chocolate. I didn't pay much attention to my reintroduction beyond the first few days. So I decided to do Whole 30 #2 in Sept of 2017 .the 30 days were was easier than #1. I learned a lot about being prepared, Blue Apron Whole 30 helped to keep it fun. I planned to do a better reintroduction, but I got bored with it after a few days. Whole 30# 3 was in January of 2018. My reintroduction was definitely better and I came up with an eating plan that worked for 2018. No Grains, Dairy or Sugar most days. An occasional piece of bread, or frozen yogurt , or glass of wine. (maybe once a week) Note: In Feb 2018, My routine bloodwork came back with elevated Cholesterol levels. I had a session with a nutritionist who is a supporter of Whole 30 and Paleo eating. She said some people need more fiber and recommended adding occasional oatmeal and brown rice. This worked! 6 months later, blood work was good. Fast forward to December 2018. The occasional glass of wine has become a daily thing. The sweets, fancy desserts, and pancakes for breakfast are happening. Christmas day 2018, I realized I don't feel so great anymore. I've lost my sparkle. Enough!
