I’m more in the I Just Want a Nap phase, which I’ve been in since before starting Whole30. ![]() Here on day 5, I have to say I’m really not feeling the bloodlust that the timeline’s Kill All the Things phase portends (even in spite of the sleep deprivation). In any event, it’s fucking annoying to be getting even less sleep! Maybe it’s a coincidence, maybe it’s the detox, or maybe it’s some cruel joke of a joint effort of the two. ( The Whole30 website categorically rules out this possibility.) I so rarely succumb to any type of illness that I’m always ready to attribute symptoms like this to something else. I guess I’m officially sick, although certain sources on the web suggest this is a bodily reaction to the detox (which was my guess/hope) rather than a proper cold. I slept even less last night, and the crap I’m coughing up has gotten more… non-nondescript. I crawled back into bed around 4 in the afternoon and napped off and on, then got up around 7 to eat dinner, and got right back into bed as soon as my last dish hit the drying rack. I puttered around the house the rest of the day, canceling my Sunday plans and not even making it to the grocery store, let alone the gym. Thanks to the congestion, I got my sleep in small increments that night and finally got out of bed yesterday morning feeling unrested. By the time I got home at 11:00 PM, it felt like a full-on cold, complete with a sporadic wet cough. Over the course of the rest of the day, I became draggier and felt my nose and ears clogging. ![]() On Saturday (day 3), I was watching a live show in a theater and suddenly started sneezing in a way I recognized as not allergies. I’ve mostly been a little nonchalant and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Since I’d mostly been eating clean already, the only sign of detox I had was a daily headache, which I’ve concluded is caffeine withdrawal from kicking coffee completely rather than from Whole30, although I’m not a scientist or a doctor, so will concede that it could be a factor. I obviously expected and planned for some variation, and I’d say my days 1-3 were more or less in keeping with the timeline (What’s the Big Deal? and The Hangover), although the 3 days combined were more like a hybrid of the two phases merged into one. I read and re-read the timeline numerous times before starting Whole30, and many more again since. Thing is, my Whole30 Timeline experience is syncing up, um, in almost no way. If I have to eat one more egg, I’m going to lose it.Well, it’s the start of Whole5, and I’m still on track. So this is what Tiger Blood feels like! I’ve magically become faster and stronger than ever before! I’m invincible!!! Why do my pants feel tighter?!! Wasn’t I supposed to lose weight from this Whole30?!!Įff this. All I want to do is eat a cheeseburger.Ĭookies and french fries are haunting my dreams, and my cravings feel worse than a pregnant woman’s. ![]() ![]() I will kill all thing things.Ĭan I just hibernate through the next 24 days? How can I feel this hungover without having had any alcohol?ĭon’t eat a donut in front of me. This Whole30 is going to be SO easy! I love the thought of having omelets for breakfast every day.
