Well done! Whole30 is no joke. How do you feel now? What's next for you?

Very impressive

I feel great.  I had a mild back injury in the middle, so I can't speak to sleeping better, but more energy and not needing to snack has definitely happened. Breathing during intense workouts has gotten much easier and I have started getting the "you look like you are losing weight" comments again from co-workers and friends (I lost over 70 lbs last year, but plateaued something awful until about June of this year).

 

I will probably keep this as a baseline for the majority of my meals in the month.  I am still working on taking down body fat.  I have worked really hard this year on my power lifting and Olympic lifts and I would love to be able to see some of my muscle  I want to look like the powerhouse I feel like.  Also I have improved on all of my lifts, so obviously this is a good diet for me for ditching the fat while adding to my muscles.

 

Besides the more muscle I get and the less I weigh, the more likely I will be to do an pull up. On-wards and upwards!
