The last week has been kind of a clusterfuck, but in a good way. I moved into my new apartment over the weekend - a 4th floor walk-up with no elevator! Woo-hoo soon-to-be-amazing ass! Moving and everything that goes along with it has taken up the majority of my time, but today I FINALLY got a workout in. Nothing fancy, just going hard on the elliptical for half an hour. I don’t think I’ve ever sweat so much in my life. Felt semi-refreshed and was STARVING when I got home. Stuck with compliant foods and feeling satisfied.
Speaking of food, who finally stopped craving donuts and cinnamon rolls? THIS GIRL! Yesterday was kind of a rough day, and when that kinda day would normally send me into a carb/sugar spiral yesterday it didn’t even cross my mind! Who the fuck am I? A chick that doesn’t need to eat her emotions through pasta and hostess donuts - that’s who!!
To note: it took me 9 days, Day 13 until the 22nd to kick the craving for sugary carbs - and I had never really veered towards them pre-Whole30, so just to note you WILL (probably) crave stuff you never did pre-program.
So while there is no “Tiger Blood” running through me per se, I feel confident that I can stop myself for long enough to really evaluate why I want certain foods. And I can honestly say, that has never been something I could do before going through the Whole30. NSVs for the win.
Now onto food. Stuck to program, but again since it’s been awhile since the 18-20th, and I have a shitty memory, I can’t 100% vouch for specific meals in a given day beyond saying I was totally on fucking point.
