According to the Whole30 Timeline I should be feeling: For the love of GOSLING, my pants are TIGHTER!

How I’m feeling:  Skeptical.  That’s right, I’ve hit that point where I’m wondering “am I really going to see all the magical results everyone swears by?!”  It’s been ten days without gluten, dairy, soy or added sugars and I feel… well, the same!  It’s not like I had any major health complaints to begin with and I certainly would never hope for an allergy or intolerance (isn’t it actually excellent news that none of these foods seem to trigger me?!), but I was just expecting to feel… something.  Yes, I think I’ve dropped a couple of pounds, but I don’t credit a paleo diet with that.  I think any “diet” I went on that eliminated snacking between and after meals and all booze would lead to weight loss for me.  Hell, I could probably do a pizza diet!  But where is the boundless energy I was expecting?!  The Whole30 has a whole page dedicated to people part way through the program who don’t think they’re seeing results, so for now I’ll just keep reminding myself it’s the Whole30, not the Whole10.

My food log looks pretty similar to yesterday.  Except, well, even more food!
