Whole30 week 1 recap

Source

 

Week 1 of the Whole30 has ended and I survived, haha.

 

It wasn't too bad. I think today was by far the hardest. I wanted to cheat but stayed strong. Weekends are so hard sometimes.

 

I've been cooking a lot more (obviously) and veggie omelets are my go-to breakfast.

Sweet potatoes are a definite staple. They are delicious.

I've been keeping my meals simple but hope to try a few new recipes this week.

I made a super yummy paleo banana bread using this recipe. I can't wait to enjoy a slice with my coffee in the morning.

 

Overall, I am feeling good. I *think* the fatigue has passed, at least I hope it has. I was able to complete all of my runs this week without any issues.

I also noticed that all of the unnecessary bloat is gone. This makes me very happy. I'm pretty sure I have a sensitivity to dairy and I guess I can find out for sure after the 30 days.

 

I haven't decided if I am going to share my comparison pics yet. I really really hate the first pic. However, my latest pic shows a huge difference. I no longer look like I am pregnant at the end of the day.

Maybe I'll share the pics after next week.

 

That's all for now.

 

Are you doing the Whole30? How is it going?
