I'm finding this time around to be much harder. First of all, I'm STARVING all the time! I must not be eating enough, or eating things in the correct proportions. I rarely felt hungry during my first Whole30, and that was without snacking. Now, I eat, and feel like I haven't eaten. I just had a huge dinner, and I feel ok, but like I could still eat more. Maybe my brain hasn't realized that I've eaten yet??
I've also had a bad headache for the past 2 days. I'm not sure if it's some kind of detox headache, or if it's because of the rainy, humid weather, but I've been miserable. Working with a bad headache is really hard, and today I was so cranky. I also have had bad neck/left shoulder pain on and off for a few months. It was really bad on Saturday, and has lingered. No combination of pain medicines seems to help, and the movements I make at work are exacerbating it I'm sure.
Finally, it's no longer new and exciting. The fact that I've done it before makes it feel much less overwhelming, but also more boring. I know how good I can, and will (I hope) feel, but I don't feel that way yet, and I'm impatient. I want to feel skinny and happy and pain free...NOW!! I'm craving chocolate, pizza, ice cream, etc. I didn't have many cravings the first time. I have read that other people who've done multiple Whole30's find some easier than others. I guess it depends on where your body, and mind, are at the time. I'm just going to have to power through, because I know that it's so worth it.
