Whole 30 Round 2 Update

Whole 30 Round 2 Update. I am excited to share with you that I just completed my 2nd Whole 30!  I shared with you my first round of Whole 30 success and now I am sharing with you that round 2 was just as fantastic!

First of all, I had NO cravings this round. Since there were only 6 days between my 2 rounds, I didn’t go crazy or off plan. I did test rice which no reaction (yay) and I ate a little dairy with a HUGE reaction.  I thought going into this that dairy was a huge issue for me and I was correct. So, no more dairy for Melissa.   In the future I will stick to almond milk or coconut milk when I want dairy.

In this round I lost 4 lbs. however I went down another size in my pants!  I lost a total of 5 inches in this round!  Woo Hoo!  Also, something exciting – people are starting to notice.  I have gotten complements lately from many of my friends and my husband has really noticed.

There have also been some additional changes in my life.  I started working out! WHAT?  It is true! I actually started wearing my fit bit again at the end of the last round but in addition to walking more I joined Curves.  This is a HUGE change for me because in general I am not a fan of working out.  However so far, I am really enjoying it!

I didn’t keep a food journal this time because I ate pretty similarly to last round.  I had no cravings this time and on Day 31 I had no desire to eat anything that wasn’t Whole 30 complaint so instead of going off I just cruised right on into a Whole 60!  I am loving how I feel, and I didn’t want to go back to my old ways of eating.  That tells me that this is a life change not a temporary “diet”.
