Ok.... drum roll, please....

I lost..... 8 pounds and 5.5 inches overall! Yeah!! The best part.... I lost my "waddle"! I can't believe it! It was there for the longest time and now it's receded back and does not stick out like it used to! I'm so freakin' happy about that, too. I wish there was a way to measure 'the waddle' but there isn't. Mine is gone! <<happy dance>> <<happy dance>>

Officially I am three pounds away from Onederland! I can't believe that, either!

This has been such a busy crazy weekend (son starts school tomorrow so there was a lot of stuff to do). I wanted to post a lot earlier but this is the first chance I've had to do it.

To celebrate the end of w30, I wore to work... a special dress that I've been waiting to wear for a very long time. It's not a special new size or anything, but it is form fitting. I bought it without ever trying it on and had I known that my big belly would not work in that dress, I would have saved the money. Instead... it's been sitting in my closet waiting to be worn and this past Friday was that day. I had people complimenting me all day about it... total strangers and people who know me... I was self conscious about it for a big part of the day and then finally, I got over it. I wore that dress like a champion. I saw my diet buddy later that night and she knew that dress was a goal of mine so when I opened the front door for her and her boyfriend, she made such a huge fuss over that dress that I was almost embarrassed! I did it though... I made it the whole way and I made it into that dress. Now I'm headed for Onederland and I can't wait!

Eating Whole30

Today marks the halfway point of my Whole30 Challenge. Eating W30 has truly changed my outlook for food. I have tried so much new stuff since the start of this challenge. The wide world of coconut and all of its benefits are mind-boggling to me and I use something coconut related every single day (and remember -- I hated all things coconut before this!). My awareness for sugar and soy in our foods just blows me away. Eating something freshly prepared agrees with me so much more rather than slamming down something commercially prepared and frozen then nuked. I am aware of portion sizes and trying to keep everything related to the W30 plan and that helps. Not having to measure or weigh food and portions and count carbs really is liberating even though I can't wait to get my bathroom scale back. The fluctuations in my weight absolutely does affect my mental state but I usually use that information constructively and amend my menu to make those drastic swings happen much less often. Also, I am looking forward to having cheese again since I am somewhat of a cheese-aholic. I know, not exactly healthy but I know my quiche and frittatas would be so much better with a bit of cheesy goodness in them, too.

Anyway... I'm looking forward to the last half of this challenge and to see what stays with me after it's all over. Ultimately when I was addressing what my goals were this time when I lost the weight, one goal was to change my way of eating so I don't have to diet for significant weight loss again. This challenge has helped me get a handle on how to properly nourish myself and I believe this will carry over even after I reach my goals.

If you have self-discipline and want to try Whole30, I highly recommend it. However, if you're one of those people who cave in easily, don't do it. Eating whole foods for 30 days requires a lot more than just a nicely stocked refrigerator!
