I put my pants on today without having to unbutton them
first. I have more energy than I’ve ever had. I have followed through with
something for the first time in my entire life with the exception of my
divorce. The Whole 30 works. I have become one of “them”. I want to talk to
people about it and I want people to feel as good as I feel.
It’s not easy. In fact, it was hard and it took a lot of
planning on my part to get my meals lined out. It took a lot for me to not have
that glass of wine or that mini tub of ice cream but I pummeled through. I went
to happy hour with my friends at one of our favorite pizza places and didn't
have a drink or a slice of pizza. If I can do this – ANYONE can. I’ve actually
made people uncomfortable with this new found discipline which at first I found
to be unfortunate but it’s actually empowering. It means I’m changing. It means
I've found something healthy to be passionate about. It means – I am growing.
Now that I am finished with The Whole 30 I will continue to
apply it to my everyday life however I am incorporating a cheat day. That day
starts today and it’s going to entail a summer brew from one of my favorite
local breweries and PIZZA. I cannot wait however I already know I will be going
into this incredible, delectable experience with a different mindset. My treat
will not be to over indulge but to have just enough and to feel AMAZING
tomorrow. Cheers!
Here are few things I did that made it easier:
I did it with a friend who I can trust and did indeed call
on her to talk me through a few tough sitches.
- Grilled meat for my lunches & dinners on Sunday night all in one sitting.
- Turned part monkey and made bananas within reach at all times. Monkey salad was my go to.
- Lara Bars (be careful to read the ingredients on each) – Lemon Pie, Coconut Cream Pie and Cashew were my faves.
- Had coconut milk available at all times.
