We’re officially a little over halfway through with Whole30. I said from the beginning people could modify for the needs. My aunt has been regularly doing classes at the gym and the foods that she started with were not enough to sustain her through her cardio workouts. So she added beans and a few forms of dairy. I know I need to exercise more but I just haven’t formed that part into a and then my personal regular routine yet.

My biggest temptations are chips, crackers, and cheese. When I see the cheese and want to eat it I think of the people who don’t drink alcohol and are inundated with the presence of it everywhere. These people have to learn to work through their cravings and it can take years before they finally go away more. With others it doesn’t take them that long and even 90 days is enough to be through it but they still must maintain.

Some people struggle with the idea of day counting. Like why does one slip mean I messed up the whole thing? I don’t know what I think about the day counting thing. Ok, yes I do. A slip up would be a disappointment and a letdown. A relapse would be a devastation and a heartbreak. The difference has to do with the severity of the stronghold. To go from not having the substance and then reintroducing it creates an outcome that no one can safely predict.
