Day 15......I'm halfway there? Really? Really!
Today marks the halfway point of doing the Whole30 program! Here are the facts:
- I feel great!
- This isn't that hard
- I want to weigh myself
- I need a smaller belt
- I'm regular
- I don't crave sweets
- I like this change
I really do feel great and a lot of that has to do with the inflammation being better. I still don't quite understand the how's of why this works, but it does. The combination of the great foods I can have makes my diet tasty, new and is keeping the pain and swelling down. The edema in my ankles is not gone. However.....I sit at a desk the majority of the day. On the weekends I do not have the swelling. Let me repeat that in case you were just skimming through and pretending to read this....on the weekends I do not have any swelling!
Because I've almost reached the point of a third new hole in my belt, I really want to get on the scale and see what it has to say. I've got a long way to go, but I can already tell a difference in my clothes. Especially, around my waist.
I've never been a 'gotta have sweets' kind of person. My snickers bar is a fresh piece of homemade bread! And crazy enough we don't keep ice cream in the house regularly, but I do miss a good scoop of ice cream. I'll have to experiment a little. I just remembered Sunshine's Mango Pineapple Popsicles! Mmmmmm....I might have to make them this weekend and they could be just the ticket.
I also realized a few days ago that I did not take a BEFORE photo of myself. However, I do have a photo of me on Day 1 going into our new house for the first time. I'll just pose again and wear the same clothes for comparison. I don't like photos of myself and unless I get to the point that people are comparing me to Sandra Bullock, you won't see those pictures.
Guess what day IT is? HUMP Daaaay....and my halfway point! Go me!
