New goals for a new year!

Hello - this is Patti. Just thought I would take a minute to post a comment on why I wanted to start Paleo again. First, I feel like crap from eating too much crap since basically Halloween. I've gained 10 to 12 pounds since last spring and frankly I want to get back to where I was before. Not that weight loss is "supposed" to be the goal of Whole 30, it actually partly is one of my goals. I have some clothes that are fitting tighter and I'm not liking the cellulite on my arse very much either! Second, I do want to get back to where I was last year being able to run between 8:15 and 8:30 pace without feeling like I'm going to die or my whole body aching for days afterwards. My hope is that by cleaning up the eating, I will recover faster and be faster overall. Anyway, I can definitely use the moral support from those of you willing to do this too.

So, what are your reasons for doing this?

  1. I too am ready to get back into shape. I am up 24 pounds since my surgery on March 21, 2011. I haven't run since then. I want back into all my old clothes and I want to run again. Even if I can't go very far!

  2. Same here. I gained weight since the holidays started, Halloween, and my joints have been aching and I have no drive so need to get back to where I was before feeling good! So far I have been good with my eating (started Tuesday) but am feeling lethargic and unmotivated. I know it will get better!!

  3. Sounds like we are in the same boat. We can do this ladies! I've got a gal at work who is starting on the 15th too. I'll see if I can get her to post on here.
    Renee - we missed you this morning. Hope work isn't sucking too bad!

  4. I feel like Jill. I just can't get my butt out of bed. It's warm and cozy and I just keep laying there. I even went to bed at 8pm last night. I'll be up and there tomorrow!
