Day Thirty: Last Day!!
It was a late morning today, but I eventually got out of bed to get a move on. It is the last day and that was a nice push to get up. I missed the breakfast time today, so for lunch, I had a chicken salad. It is the last day for my exercises, so …
Day Twenty-Nine: Success Stories
Two days left! The excitement is almost overwhelming. I know that I feel good, but I want to see some tangible results in the form of weight loss. So that will be Sunday morning. For breakfast, I had eggs with spinach. Sadly, I ran out of taco-seasoned meat, so that is something I will have …
Day Twenty-Eight
Three full days left!! I'm extremely excited at the concept that I will have successfully completed the Whole30 for a full 30 days with no slips and no cheats. I think I finally have my motivation back, despite the fact that I went to bed late last night and slept in this morning. I just …
Day Twenty-Seven: Try Another Goal
I started to feel like my motivation is coming back this morning. For breakfast, I started with eggs and taco seasoned ground chicken. Then I had a meeting for work which was awesome. I got to sit in a police car and watch how license plates are read by the cameras on the light bar. …

Day Twenty-Five
I had no motivation today. I barely moved off the couch until before supper. In other words, I did not eat until supper. Which was chicken and spinach. For my exercises, I started with 35 pushups, then it was 130 crunches. Next up was the 45 second plank. Finally, it was 220 squats. I barely …
Day Twenty-Four: Anniversary
So today is Ashleigh's and my seventh anniversary and it started off with a bang. I woke up in the very early morning with horrible cramps. Thankfully, Ashleigh was awesome: she got me some painkillers and a hot water bottle. I didn't get much sleep after that until 7 AM and then I slept until …
Day Twenty-Three: Spreading the Word
I was in bed nice and early last night, so I got 9 hours of sleep, which was a really nice treat. Especially since I now have only one week left. That's seven days left! Today, my exercises started with 30 pushups. They were okay. I did them in groups of 5 which helped to …
