Hey Juzbo! Congratulations on day 29. Tomorrow is day 30!! Yippee!!!!!!! What is your plan?

I stopped eating compliantly on day 21. S'ok. It was a combination of not being prepared during vacation and during company. This last week has been ok. About 70% compliant. Going to celebrate thanksgiving and then I'm going to do a whole whatever until Christmas. Take Christmas and New Year's off and then start again. I'm starting to enjoy the habit of being strict and then more & more compliant when I'm off. It's a process. I'm looking forward to celebrating a year eating this way most of the time in March.

I can't wait to hear what you have to say tomorrow!! Happy day 30 tomorrow!!

Thanks almcc, this time last year I finished my first whole35 then started a whole100 in December to get me though Xmas and Easter without any sugar. I had always planned to go to Dec 1st which is a whole35... I actually started a day early but counted from day1 mon 28th to be in synch with the others starting then. BUT my intention was to consider keeping going till Xmas which is a whole60 depending on how I feel at the time.... So sorry, nothing exciting happening tomorrow.

This has been my best whole whatever but I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be and I don't really mean weight wise although that is part of it. It's more about the consistency of eating, learning hunger signals, avoiding triggers, healing my skin and making permanent changes etc.

Thanks for your interest and happy thanksgiving and well done for making this a way of life for so long.

I am also impressed with your sleeping focus. I think I will make that a goal in the new year.

It really is about more than weight loss, I like your comments on balance.

Thanks Sara, I think it helped a little re weight loss and a lot with balance (lack of sleep = major food cravings), congrats on your whole30. I like your avatar btw!

Lack of sleep totally messes with your cortisol levels, and vice versa (she says, posting after 1am while taking cortisone lol)

... And not going to bed till after 3am.....

I used to stay up reading till 2am a few times a month but am working really hard to not do this as its impossible to lose any weight that way...

Day 33 8 hours sleep, rest day today except maybe a walk. So I had time to make breakfast.

Really starting to crave coffee again now I have done my 30 days but I know it will mess me up. I have lost about a pound this month, 3 if I count my weight after my last gluten/dairy episode I guess. I feel a better shape at this weight than normal so hoping my muscle mass is a bit better. Actually just remembered the scales said 26% bf so that's not too bad for my age. I got to 18% a couple of years ago... I would like to get back to 21-23%

M1 turkey, egg, sweet potato, broccolini and spinach hash served over blueberries.

Snack mango and Brazil nuts...

Lunchtime walk

M2 salad with olives and baked chicken

M3 salmon, potato and veges, canned apples and raisins

Last day of November, and its Day 35 (I omitted counting my actual day1 to join in with those who started 28th Oct). I've done okay, not perfect but good enough. I had my first coffee today and I also made some unsweetened chocolate (cocoa, coconut oil and raisins). Thought about having some wine but decided to try to keep going till Xmas.

M1 small bowl turkey mince and veg

M2 leftover salmon and veg, half avocado and mango

M3 baked broccoli, pumpkin, potato, spinach, bacon and egg
