feeling great! What's it been now...okay, so today is my fourth day Primal. Everything's been going well, no complaints. My cold cleared up immediately. I'm in the middle of pre-finals week so i've been doing a lot of schoolwork/papers and it was so liberating yesterday to not feel the need to go and run 10 mi or ride my bike for 3 hours. I just spent 15 minutes doing 300 reps of different things (pushups, jumps, squats, planks, etc) on my dorm room floor. And i felt satisfied.
Also, I'm going to a track semi this coming Friday night and haven't been this excited about something like that for a lonnnng time. I love partying but this is going to be a blast. I went out yesterday and got a really fly outfit. It is tailored/slim fit so it fits snug but it looks really good. Hoping to feel more room in it come Friday night
I think the best part about this so far is that I'm not always hungry, and when I'm not hungry I don't think about eating. I've only needed to eat like 2x a day and havent been hungry. it's great !
plus i've slept sooo well. Very important right now. Most of my friends are getting sick from the cold blast that just came here recently and the stress from finals/all-nighters. I'm not even stressed out at all!
another good day. I worked all day on a neuro lab report and just finished up. Was able to concentrate noticeably better than I usually do. I also usually snack on chips and McD's. Today was a milestone day: I ate chicken wings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner Nothing else. and it was wonderful. haha.
Welcome! Isn't it great not to have to think about food all the time? I love my new appetite. Saves a lot more time in the day for good stuff. I'm sure you will keep on seeing lots of good changes in the coming weeks.
Also love your all-chicken-wing day. That's listening to your body!
What are you back in school for, if I can ask? (Just curious.)
hey Jazmin,
Yeah, my days have been so much more productive lately! Well, I'm actually in school still (21 y/o college student). I've got one semester left in my senior year; studying neuroscience.
Looking back at the first post, I see i wrote stuff like "back" in school, but what I meant when i said that was back after summer (when I took that first pic/ it was an amazing summer btw!). I guess that could've misled you?
This attempt at being primal has been near effortless and enjoyable. This could be it; I could be going all the way
One week down I think. Losing track of days though. I've been doing really well. this is not difficult at all. I no longer have any craving for grains or sugar at all, not even fruits. Eatin lots of eggs, bacon, omelets, chicken. Loving it.
Great little things I am noticing right now.
1. My mind is incredibly sharp. I feel very clear-headed and my sense of well-being is through the ceiling.
2. I am losing BF. My abs are starting to show, and it's only been one week. This is great.
3. I eat chicken wings every day, guilt free.
4. I am completely satisfied in every aspect of my life right now.
5. I DO NOT think about food/exercising all the time. There are so many other important things going on that I've been able to give my attention to.
6. I don't have set mealtimes, and have been eating intuitively.
7. I sleep so well. Like really, I haven't been this satisfied with my sleeping patterns until right now.
It's quite astonishing that these changes are all happening in such a pronounced way over such a short period of time. I mean, a lot of other things are going right for me in life right now, so I can't 100% attribute everything to being Primal, but I can give it the credit it deserves, for sure.
