I have been off of Whole30 for about 6 weeks and it’s amazing how fast we (I) fall back on old habits.  I have learned that I cannot be less than fully committed or I will make awful choices.  You know, those choices that taste good for .3 seconds and then make you feel bad for days.  I’ve made lots of those.

I’ve been back to making excuses and I don’t feel good about it at all.  I’m tired, achy, bloated–all of the things I was not while being 100% committed to Whole30.  I’m starting a 3rd round on April 2nd–don’t want the pressure to stick to it on my anniversary (April 1).  I plan to do a Whole80.  That will take me to our next big vacation to San Diego at the end of June.  I need to rules and the commitment.  I am not ready to make healthy choices without the rules and structure.  I’ll then pick up and do 1 more round of Whole30 before my husband and I drop the kids at camp for 2 weeks and head to Belize.  I should feel amazing by then.

I’m looking forward to committing and keeping on the right path.  I had to really force myself off the path after I finished my first Whole60 and then another Whole30.  I didn’t listen to my body–I listened to my feeling and my old habits.  I know that I can break them and stay the course.

I am so happy to have found Whole30 and that I was able to really commit and know I can be successful.
