Well.... I WON!!!
Not only did I stick it out for the 30 day challenge but I WON!!!! Scores were based on a point system. A few of us tied for first place so we had to submit before and after pictures. I was chosen as the winner. I didn't think I would win because since I am 5'9 and a half I can lose and gain 10 lbs and maybe my jeans are the only ones that notice. Since I am tall, I can hide it. I know some of the other people lost up to 15lbs so I was worried that my after pics may not look as drastic but apparently they were good enough. By the end of the 30 days I could see a major change in the way my clothes fit. I had some measurements that I took a few weeks before the challenge and based on those I lost several inches, mainly in the mid section. So, as a recap I lost about 10lbs.
I am 15 days post challenge and I have stuck with it. I did have a glass of wine my first weekend off the challenge but I haven't eaten ANY non compliant foods. None. I really want to stay Whole 30 through the month of May and into June. This really is a lifestyle for me so I just have to figure out how to incorporate somethings in my diet with out losing the "benefits". I feel really good. I've had great workouts and I am sleeping like a rock.
Thank you to ALL that have been following my blog and especially those that have sent such nice words of encouragement via Facebook, text, etc. I am so happy so many of you have been asking me questions and "thinking" about trying Whole 30/ Paleo.
Oh... before I sign off ...
Two movies I can't wait to see...
Fed Up and Forks Over Knives... as well as Hungry for Change. I really believe that sticking to this type of "diet" is much easier when you become disgusted by what is allowed to be done to our "food".
I will blog from time to time so please check back.
