I have completed my first 7 days of Whole 30 and overall I am feeling pretty good. There really haven't been many of the side effects that are outlined in the Whole 30 Timeline.
I never suffered through "the Hang Over" from sugar withdrawal on days 2 & 3, or the unexplainable "Kill All Things Phase" on days 4 & 5. "I just want to nap" are suppose to take place on days 6 & 7, but I had some much energy on day 7, I can't believe all the things I was able to accomplish. I did experience some of the day 8 & 9 "my pants are tighter" symptoms, but that was actually on day 4.
I am still sticking with my previous comment that so far this isn't that hard. No cravings or desires for "forbidden" foods. Even when J is eating chips and drink pop in front of me I don't feel as though I need to partake. Although I do get annoyed that he has started eating more junk and less paleo since I started doing Whole 30.
I am however still having a daily battle with not stepping on the scale. Especially on days when I feel skinnier and really just want to know. I have settled for knowing that the new clothes I bought are one size smaller then I used to wear, fit nicely and are not at all tight.
I have also this far avoided eating in a restaurant or at someone else's house. I have been trying to rack my brain for what would be an acceptable meal to eat out and haven't come up with much. I think that maybe Swiss Chalet, 1/4 chicken with side salad (olive oil and vinegar dressing) would work, no bun or sauce of course. But I think my best bet is to try and avoid eating out for the duration of the 30 days. Be good for my pocket book if I can do that too!
