You've already done a Whole30, so why do another?
I think as a young adult, I tend to get carried away with
the social aspects of my life. Until you
do a Whole30 challenge, you have no idea how much your life revolves around
eating and drinking and how one bad choice leads to another. After my first Whole30, my headaches from a
long day at the office were nonexistent, my face cleared up and I slept soundly
throughout the night. I saved money; I
established new hobbies and my Saturdays and Sundays weren't spent sleeping
until 2pm. It’s easy to fall back into
bad habits; Whole30 teaches you how to create new, healthier habits.
I’m doing another Whole30 to challenge myself to take
what I've learned into the future months thereafter. The first time I did a Whole30, I couldn't
wait to eat a bowl of queso on Day 31. This time, I’m teaching myself moderation. I’m learning how to continue doing the social
things I love in a healthier way.
What's been the hardest part so far?
That’s a tough one; there are a lot of hard parts. No one said the Whole30 challenge is easy -
trust me -I’ve experienced every negative side effect on the Whole30
timeline. I think one of the hardest
parts for me is being patient. From my
previous challenge, I know I’ll experience: boundless energy, weight loss, and
an incredible sense of well-being. What I tend to forget is that these things
don’t happen overnight.
Like you have read in Brian’s previous posts, it takes
time for your body to adjust to receiving the proper nutrition it deserves. Brian made a point in our text message thread with the Dallas Whole30-crew that “you can’t undo 20+ years of
eating a certain way in 11.5 days”. He’s right. This time, the hardest part has been the waiting game.
What's been the best part?
