Day 8! Survived the weekend, went to 2 parties, took some flack for not drinking at one of them (which honestly was just rude, host kept pushing wine on me "it's basically a fruit!".) It's not like I'm getting drunk off wine so not sure why it made a difference that I wasn't drinking. Parties are always my downfall, I tend to snack a lot when food is out, to the point of feeling ill . 1st party I didn't snack at all, 2nd I grazed a bit on grapes and carrots which I didn't really want to do, but oh well.
Anyway, I didn't really even want to cheat, so no cravings really. Overall, good weekend, had fun
Day 8 I think. I don't know. I kind of screwed up Friday night and then again last night. Other than that I've been perfect. What do I do now? Start over? If I start over I'll run into Thanksgiving and also I made plans the day before Thanksgiving to go to my favorite restaurant for dinner to celebrate my birthday. I pushed it back from the actual weekend b/c of the whole 30. I'm definitely having what I want there!

Day 16 over here, but I had a consciously off-plan lunch on Saturday: tacos with corn tortillas and sorbet with sugar. On Friday I was just over it, I had a really stressful day and frankly would have loved to treat myself to a latte and a brownie or something like that. Yes, that's obviously a case of responding to emotions with food, but I have to admit I don't think that's the worst thing in the world every once in a while. I decided that I wouldn't throw everything away on a stressful day since I might regret it, but if I felt the same on Sat I could end it. I did feel somewhat the same, hence my lunch.
I'm back on plan all this week. If I feel the same - no change from pre-Whole30 - on Saturday, then I will probably say screw it at the baby shower I have that evening. There are lots of delicious things you can eat on Whole30, but I miss just enjoying my food without having to think about it or skip something, and without feeling any benefit (or having had any withdrawal symptoms) I don't think I have the motivation for another 9 days just to say that I finished it.
flygirl22, I'm annoyed for you that the host was so pushy! Especially with alcohol...there are plenty of reasons people don't drink, no one should be bothering you about that.
I have pretty much quit drinking except for special occasions like vacation. On Saturday I went to a party with my la croix and my coach accused me publicly of being pregnant. Ugh.

That is so annoying, wambam. Is this the coach who was kind of an ass about the 10k or your regular coach that you like? It surprises me that someone from your box would say that - they should know how much work you're doing to be at your best for your sport!

It was my regular coach. LOL @ the bolded. They drink more than any group of people I've ever known. I knew fraternities that drank less than the people at my gym

I definitely didn't mean it surprises me that Crossfit people can be lushes Just that I would have thought that enough people would be trying different things to get that edge - not drinking, protein shakes, paleo, eating 3 hard boiled eggs 6 times a day, whatever - that it wouldn't be comment-worthy. Apparently not!

Day 8 for me.
Weekend was okay. Went to a party and ate some pumpkin seeds and drank club soda. It was enlightening to see that I really didn't crave the junk food and still had fun.
Saturday I fell off the wagon. I went to the gym and got really light headed when working out. I had 2 full meals already that day. So, I had some carbs. Sunday was my nephews birthday and my sister made crepes. I had some but skipped birthday cake.
emilyinchile, I hear you. After I got dizzy at the gym, I was questioning why I was doing this. I mean, I'm 99.99% sure i have zero food allergies. I think the getting off the sugar is a really good thing and I feel as though I've been cutting down my cravings. I'm not 100% that I am going to do this plan full on for the next 30 days.

Yeah it was really weird. He was drunk so that could've contributed. But even after I left, he grilled my BFF about it. I got some bad news right before the party so I just wanted to leave, eat my feelings at the gf bakery, and go to bed. Apparently that calls the state of my uterus into question.
