A Week Off Whole 30 and My First Week of Work at the New Job!

I have been off Whole 30 a week and been at a new job a week and a half…. Things are going well. I am still working on getting into a new routine, but its coming along it doesn’t help that I have some sinus funk – pretty sure its an infection because the hubs had one but I am trying to sleep and vitamin treat mine away opposed to going to the doctor – if I still feel bad in two days I am going to bite the bullet and see the doctor!

I got a 7 day pass to a new gym and I like it – the gym I was a member of when working at my old job has a partner gym nearby – and since I had to give a 30 day notice I am still a member of til the end of this month so I tried it out yesterday – its not good, but I am paying for it so I will use it… then change to the gym I tried the pass for. I forgot my sports bra yesterday so I was working out in my normal bra – which is NOT fun when you have a chest, so I stuck to no cardio and did an old lower body Jaime Eason phase 1 workout – I got in a good sweat, but not too terrible… this morning I packed my sports bra and I am ready to go! I am going to have to get used to packing my gym bag every day – that was a luxury of my old gym - I had a locker and could bring clothes for the week on Monday and leave em in there all week – not an option anymore!

Last week we had a team building event at an indoor race track! For the qualifying round I was the FASTEST female… and one of only two women in the top 10 group – which meant for the finals I was screwed… haha… but I had a blast! I didn't realize the slow group would have a winners bracket as well or I would have played that out differently!

 

This past weekend was a good friend of mine from college’s wedding (we lived together for two years) and it was beautiful – it was in Austin outside – looking over Lake Travis at Vintage Villas – gorgeous location for a wedding… Friday we drove up to our place and spend Saturday morning doing a few chores and then sighting in my rifle – I LOVE my new 7mm08!!!!! It’s a blast to shoot!

 

Then we got cleaned up and headed to Austin for the wedding..

 

 we drove home that night and spend a lazy Sunday at home with the fluffies relaxing all day.

 

 

 

We are headed to the hill country this weekend with friends to hit up some wineries – to say I am excited is an understatement!

Whole 30 Results

 
Sorry, things have been busy lately- starting the new job last week has kept me from the blog – but I

LOVE it here! The people are great and although I am on information overload trying to get up to speed I think its going to be great for me stress level wise. I have had a few cheat meals here and there, but have kept it on point diet wise for the most part – which should be included in my results discussion – normally after diets/restrictions I go crazy with the food and gain a ton of weight – I am not up any from the end of my challenge last Tuesday – and I have been keeping it healthy 90% of the time! I am proud of myself for that!

 

My results-

I lost 10lbs in 30 days – I have NEVER lost this much weight that quickly!

I lost 14.5 inches!! 4.5 of those are from my waist ALONE!

 

The one on the left was taken the weekend before I started and the one on the right was taken this past weekend ....

 

I am thinking I have a gluten intolerance because I lose weight easier when I am not eating gluten AND other than the initial few headaches of the toxins leaving my body I only had one migraine over the 30 days… so I am going to try to stick to gluten free most of the time.

 

I want to keep up with the Whole 30, but a modified version, I am adding back in:

Almond milk

Greek yogurt

Cheese (in moderation)

Salad dressings – I missed my Ranch too much! (also in moderation)

Beans

Peanut butter

One cheat meal a week!

 

We will see how this goes – but I would HIGHLY recommend Whole 30 to any and everyone!
