Ah, the start of a new week and the plateau is hanging on (sneak peek—today is the last plateau day!). Typical for a Monday aye?!? The week begins and this one promises to be a good one. Week 3 is when you begin to see the benefits of the Whole 30: sleep is better, cognition is sharp, energy is up, and the clothes are baggy! All the above is true for me so while the plateau is hanging on for dear life, the universe is not rooting for it.
One of the side-effects of all this, however, is the desire to go cloths shopping as the wardrobe in your current closet (assuming you’re like me and can only keep seasonal cloths in your closet at any given time) is all too big. Not a bad problem to have, but hang on folks because there is more to go and anything you/I buy today will be too big in another two weeks. Search in the back for those belts that stopped fitting about two years ago and use them as the temporary fix, and we’ll (well, ”I” anyhow) go shopping in a few more weeks!
Pains, gains, struggles, etc.? No, not really. I did experience some muscle soreness in my knees, but that was a result of humid weather and a couple skiing accidents a few decades ago! Your situation will probably be different than mine as I’ve been here before as this IS round two for me and I’ve followed this plan a couple of times before, but this is the first time I’m doing multiple rounds back to back with only a few days between.
Any-hoo, it’s a new week and things are looking up!
