P A L E O – I can do ANYTHING for 30 days.

I have finally decided to give it a go. What do I have to lose really?  Well, actually I have weight to lose, and unhealthy habits to lose and getting so sleepy mid-day to lose and, and, and ... So here I go.

Wednesday, January 14 - DAY 1
Whole30®
is a 30 day reset button of a program design by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig at Whole9®
Taking out all the sugar, grains, dairy and legumes that could be having a negative impact on our health. Designed to help put an end to unhealthy cravings and habits, restore a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, and balance your immune system.
sugar, grains, dairy and legumes

DAY 1 was pretty easy. I felt crazy-good positive about my decision and there weren't any "situations"(out to lunch, cocktail moments etc). Awesome grocery trip, grabbed a flurry of veggies, meats and fruits off the list. My youngest daughter and I have been grain free for sometime now, but taking my almond milk and yogurt away still seems weird.
BUT AGAIN, 30 days! I GOT THIS!

The long and the short of the program is
Eat real food.
Do not consume added sugar of any kind, real or artificial.
Do not consume alcohol in any form, not even for cooking.
Do not eat grains.
Do not eat legumes.
Do not eat dairy.
Do not consume carrageenan, MSG or sulfates.
Do not try to re-create baked goods,  junk foods with “approved paleo” ingredients.
Do not step on the scale or take any body measurements for the duration of the program. (only day 1)

Today is DAY 2, still feeling good and prideful about my decision. Went to the grocery (again) because I found some recipes that I wanted to try. Cabbage Rolls being one of them. yum.

    JENNY!!!!!! I am so proud of you! This is going to be awesome. Adam and I are on day 12 of our Whole30 and seriously, really truly really, feel so awesome. Physically, mentally, (sounds cheesy, but spiritually even!?) and the sugar-free coconut flakes on the chia seed pudding (read 'icing on the cake')- we have been even more connected to each other! No petty little snips or snats. Both of us have been in really great moods- we are loving it! More productive at work, at home. Keep sharing recipes! I'll send you a few of mine too. 'I think I can I think I can I think I can'....xoxoxoxoxo
