So whole 30 ends Tuesday. And I'm kinda glad. I go back and forth but I learned today that the prosciutto I eat before the gym and sometimes after a workout contains sugar. So technically, I haven't been following the whole 30 at all! I'm so mad. I will say this whole try at whole 30 has taught me a few things.....
1. I need to work out more. I really need to be exercising 5 days a week between Pilates, cardio, and lifting. Working out more helps me keep my body feeling good and energized. Since doing the whole 30, I work out once or twice a day. Sometimes a 45 minute walk or I'll do cardio for 45 minutes then go to Pilates. Today I did 45 minutes of the bike then my trainer kicked my butt at Pilates! My entire body is shaking and it feels so good!
2. Whole 30 is definitely Paleo on steroids. It's very rigid and definitely designed for first time Paleo-ers and people doing a detox or someone who wants to live with a lot of restrictions.
3. I don't need a weekly Paleo treat but if I'm going to have a treat, my exercise needs to off set it. So if I want to make brownies or cookies, I do have to off set it with the gym....this is something I've always known but the whole 30 just reinforced it.
4. I'm stronger than I thought and I need to keep building on that.
So two more days until it's over, despite the fact that it feels like it never began.....I'm so sad to have learned this late in the game that my favorite protein contains sugar. But I haven't baked in a month and I haven't had excess sugar so that's a plus. It's not a totally lost month.
This is what I learned and I probably won't do it again but never say never! :D Thanks for following along the journey with me. Here's to the next step!
