8/1: WOW! Rough... I felt terrible, I could barely function. The sugar/carb withdrawals are the worst. I went to bed at 8pm because I had the worst headache and stomach twirlies! :(
8/2: Not much better but able to get through the day....
8/3: Getting a little better. The sick feeling is there but not as bad. My cravings are also not as severe.
8/4: Hard day because friends invited me out for drinks and I just couldn't risk it... what is one Saturday night at home... :)
8/5: Made my meal plans and got recipes ready then went grocery shopping at TJs and WF! Got everything I needed!! :)
8/6: Precooked lots of stuff, cleaned the house, and make an awesome dinner!! I did find out I used 2 things yesterday that were not whole30 approved so I need to tighten up and watch ingredients! :)
8/7: I had a long day at work but still managed to eat my 3 meals and wasn't hungry!! Need to get more exercise so I signed up for a bootcamp that starts next week! ;) The scale is one of the hardest things to give up... but I am still going strong! :)
8/8: Another good day! Mowed the grass for some extra exercise! :)
8/9: LONG DAY! I had a 12 hour shift at the salon so by the time I got home it was 10pm! I ate a very small portion of leftover roast and then watch the olympics for about 45 minutes. After that I went to bed... slept pretty good! :)
8/10: So far today is going good although I gave into temptation and weighed myself!!! :( I was so disappointed that I did that. But I will not weigh again until the end of this month!
8/11: Attended a couples baby shower with my husband and was surrounded by temptations and I did not slip at all! I feel amazing!!!
8/12: Cooked lots of stuff today for this week. :)
8/13: Had a great grocery day! LOVE IT! Zumba whooped my butt! I need to master my pre and post workout meals!
8/14: Went to a new boot camp class and boy was it tough!! Hope this helps me feel even better! :)
8/15: Good Day.
8/16: Great Day! Even went out to eat with my little cousin who ordered the craziest, fattiest stuff and I didn't budge!!! WOOHOO!
8/17: Kinda having a crappy day! :( Just in a foul mood... hopefully it passes. I did pass on the yummy looking chocolate cake we had at work! OHHH YEAH!
8/18: Worked and then had a lazy Saturday for once! It felt great! :)
8/19: Went to an amusement park with my little cousin and had a blast!! Not a lot of choices at the park so I had the cheapest thing... pizza! But I drank loads of water and walked tons so I do not feel too bad. ;)
8/20: Had two people notice my changes!!! Felt great! :)
8/21: Another restless night... hope I can figure out what the deal is...
8/22: Made the best Fish Tacos tonight! They will definetly be a staple! :)
8/23: Went to dinner with a friend and got dessert! :( It wasn't even good... boo!
8/24: Another night at volleyball without any alcohol! WOW!
8/25: Managed to go out to dinner and a show with zero cheats! WOOHOO!
8/26: Today was a complete non-compliant day! My parents came to visit and boy do they have a bad influence on me! :( But I did take a nice long hike/walk with them! Tomorrow I will get back on track and drink lots of water!!!
8/27: Back on track! WOOHOO!!! Preplanned some of my meals and went to the grocery. Also made it to Zumba!!
8/28: Pretty good day. Only negative is that I got off work very late and didn't eat dinner until almost 10pm! :(
8/29: I can't believe tomorrow is my last day of the whole 30 program!!! It's been crazy hard but totally worth it! Can't wait to weigh in on Friday!!! :)
8/30: Last day!!!! Man what a journey! I feel great! Weigh in tomorrow to see exactly how much it paid off.. but no matter what the number I will be happy! I plan on eating Paleo (clean) for the next couple of weeks then starting the Whole30 again and try to make the whole 30 days without fail! :)
