Okay, it's actually day 8 but I was so beat down yesterday with allergies/sinus that I couldn't post. It has been a full week of Whole30. My cravings for sweets have diminished to virtually nothing. There has been a few opportunities to consume beer and I have abstained. So I would say so far so good.
I am a little thrown off by the allergies and what appears to be the beginning of a sinus infection. I have been (mostly) paleo since November 2010 and haven't suffered from my normal several times a year allergy/sinus infection plague. Even last fall I didn't have any issues prior to starting paleo. The only difference I can tell is that I am unable to work out as intense as I once had due to some injuries (rib dysfunction, rotator cuff tendinitis, and plantar fascitis). My diet is obviously on point since starting the Whole30. From what I have read the fall allergies are especially bad this year. Oh joy! I dug my neti pot out and have been using that the last few days.
My energy (aside from this allergy business) is good. I do not feel sleepy at work in the afternoon. I can't say that I sleep better-at least not yet until I get this allergy junk under control.
The above injuries that I mentioned have been feeling slightly better the last couple of days. I'm hoping this is a turning point because I desperately miss working out and the comradery of the gym. I have been dealing with the rib dysfunction and rotator cuff tendinitis since the middle of January and having to put any arm/overhead exercises on hold I concentrated on running AND got myself plantar fascitis. Lucky!
