Reading the book isn't the same as doing the work!
I feel better when I eat well. I know that I can do this 80% of the time. My motivation?
To help me SticKK to it - I've asked my yoga teacher Natalie to hold me accountable (and offer tips & guidance as a nutritional coach).
As of 1/12/20, I've determined the best way for me to measure my success is by abstaining from Sugar, Alcohol, and fried foods 80% of the week which works out to 5.5 days. Typically from noon Sat till 5pm Sunday I allow myself to indulge a bit. Given social commits typically occur on the weekends, this allows me to enjoy myself in those situations by being less self conscious about my diet. And I know the more I do this, the better I feel, and the less I will desire the unhealthy choices.

Whole30 is about building a healthier relationship with your food! If you've been conditioned for a sweet after a meal (most of us have), it's time to reprogram yourself!
So let's get started!
Weigh in: 154 lbs.
And I won't weigh myself again until 12.1.17
Here's the thing - I'm not trying to lose weight. I am trying to lose my belly, build muscle, and feel better. In fact, if I gain muscle, I suspect my weight on 12.1 may be higher, and as long as I feel good and have lost the beer belly - I'm good! I also want to get to 2-3 meals/day. Hunger is a distraction I don't have time for. Sugar spikes create a itch that I have to scratch.
8AM - I've had 3 cups of coffee already and am hungry.
Salad for Breakfast (w/1 small avocado) Strawberries on the side. Big glass of water.
11.3.17 I had pizza last night. I did not feel good afterwords! The soup was much better. I know why I need the Whole30 - I feel better on it! I want to eat every meal I can within the guidelines of it.
