So according to the timeline I looked at on whole30.com, right around now is when most people give up on their whole 30 journey. This is the time when you just plain don't want to prepare the meals, worry about looking at labels, get frustrated that you just cant run through taco bell on the way home AND aren't really seeing the magic this program says will happen.
I can totally see that, but on the other hand. If you look for the small things, the things you weren't able to do a week ago...it will keep you motivated. Here are a few of the things I was able to do, that would have just brought me to my knees last week (and did on a few occasions).
I was able to get snacks out of the fridge with out longingly looking at the cheese sitting right next to it, I was able to run a little longer then before and still have some energy for the rest of the day, I was able to drop my son off at daycare and not give the pile of candy they have on the counter up for grabs a second look, I was able to smile at a food joke someone made without thinking of the food and wishing I had it.
My body is finally realizing that this is happening, this is how its going to be and its getting with the program. I feel lighter, I feel healthier, I feel clear headed. Don't get me wrong, I still want that chocolate, and grilled cheese...but now I can brush off those cravings with much more ease then I did before. I"m sure those cravings will be there for a long long while, but its manageable and that my friend...is a miracle.
I can do this, I will do this, I am strong!
You can do this, You will do this, YOU are strong!!!!
