30-Day Clean Eating Challenge: Day 29!

[shadesofgold]

Tomorrow is the last day of the GKU Clean Eating Challenge! Who is still on the wagon? Let's check in.

Here are the basic guidelines:




Final weekly challenge check-in:

Remind us what modifications/additions were you making for the challenge:

How was the last week?

Reflecting over the last month, how did the challenge go for you? Did you see any changes?

Will you continue any of the habits or guidelines from this challenge into the future?

Thanks for joining me for this experiment!

Remind us what modifications/additions were you making for the challenge: Kept dairy, whole grains and occasional alcohol

How was the last week? It was fine. Slipped up this weekend with a frozen custard on the boardwalk.

Reflecting over the last month, how did the challenge go for you? Did you see any changes? I lost 3 pounds and added 2 days to my LP. Felt better every day.

Will you continue any of the habits or guidelines from this challenge into the future? Yep. I started this hoping to lengthen my LP and it seems to have worked. MH agreed to help continue these guidelines at home. Will try to keep sugar and white carbs to just 1-2 times a week.

I fell off the wagon a lot. But the inspiration was helpful!

Thank you shadesofgold for doing this!
jennykat, I also read all the articles up front cause I was curious. I am glad I did cause I agree they were not in the best order.

Remind us what modifications/additions were you making for the challenge: some dairy and whole grains, and a little alcohol

How was the last week? Great! I did eat a cookie last night and had some wine on Saturday night, but other than that it went really well!

Reflecting over the last month, how did the challenge go for you? Did you see any changes? I think this challenge was great! MH is actually doing one at his gym now, so I will continue to do it with him! My clothes fit better (my mom noticed this past weekend!) and I feel really good.

Will you continue any of the habits or guidelines from this challenge into the future? Yes! I will definitely be limiting sugar, and actually my alcohol too. Having wine just once a week was not that hard once I got into the habit.

Due to some emotional baggage/nonsense/eat my feels... I fell off of the wagon, but so appreciate this shadesofgold and so excited for everyone who stayed dedicated, high fives all around!!

Remind us what modifications/additions were you making for the challenge: Kept some dairy and a tiny bit of dark chocolate.

How was the last week? It wasn't bad. Redeemed myself from the week before.

Reflecting over the last month, how did the challenge go for you? Did you see any changes? I lost a few lbs that I had gained back in June from vacation. I felt good too.

Will you continue any of the habits or guidelines from this challenge into the future? Yep. I also think that clean eating may have helped with my cycle becoming a bit more normal. It could a fluke but I ovulated earlier than I ever have on CD16 and had a 12 day LP, which is 2-3 days longer than the norm.

Thanks for doing this, shadesofgold!

Uh, yeah. I had a really good meet though on Saturday. So win? 

I'm cleaning things up again this month. I'm not going to drop a weight class before nationals, but I plant to be down a few lbs at weigh in.
