Whole30, Day 28, Monday 1/29/2017

Day 28 of my 30 days on the Whole30, a month-long cleanse during which you consume no alcohol, sugar, dairy, grains, etc etc. If you're interested in the program, your best source of information to begin with is the internet. If you're interested in reading one person's experiences with it, I have written a few Steemit posts about it. Links supplied below.

If you have been following this little story, you know I have been doing this with my sister @jayna.

What I didn't tell you was that my husband, @preparedwombat, has also been involved. He kept his bagels and cream cheese etc, but very sweetly gave up beer for the month in solidarity.

So, did we lose weight?

This morning, we did the math. Down to brass tacks. Did we lose weight this month? Doing the Whole30 dance, I lost 12 pounds in January. Without beer, @preparedwombat lost 8 pounds, or two pounds a week. When we looked at the numbers together, I asked him what he wanted to do with this new-found knowledge about the influence of beer on his weight. "Get used to being fat," he said with a wink.

What I am going to do with my new-found knowledge is probably just about what I have been doing, maybe with dairy added back in. I miss one of my old standbys, plain yogurt, and I've never noticed any issues with dairy before. So back on the "in" list it goes at the end of the month, about the same time @preparedwombat cracks open his first Guinness.
