It's almost here.

Less than 48 hours until I embark on this new adventure called "The Whole 30".  A little nervous.  A lot more excited than nervous though.  Hopeful I won't become a crazy pants the first few days while my body detoxes from 30+ years of sugar love.  Hopeful that my hubby can still put up with me after the first five days and won't want to throw me off our 3rd floor patio.  Determined to make this work.

After having come across this lifestyle shift, I've been way more mindful about what's in my food.  If you are diligent in looking at your labels, you'll find that there is a ridiculous amount added sugars and preservatives that none of us need.  Good lord - it's difficult to find wholesome food that comes in any packaging.  Pretty certain it doesn't exist.

Being back home in Wisconsin the last couple of days, I've been hanging out with Maggie.  She's on a mild strain of the Whole 30 - something like the "17 day diet".  She's allowed a lot more freedom though than the Whole 30 - sweeteners, cheese, yogurt and after the initial 17 days - grains!  I tried to convince her to just do the Whole 30 with me but my persuasive powers did not work.  Looks like Heather and I are going to be the only two on this adventure this time around and that's fine with me.

I've stocked up on some of the essential pantry ingredients....now I just need to find some grass fed meat.

See you in 48 hours.
