Whole 30...Let's Do This!

I'm back!  With Facebook in our lives, I have let this blog suffer.  I began my blogging in an effort to keep family and friends up to date with the comings and goings of our family.  I feel like Facebook has allowed us to do that somewhat.

So I've decided to use the blog for something different for the next month or so.  Last May I decided to try the Whole 30.  Have you heard of it?  You can check it out here.

So basically, last year when I tried it, I had become fed up with trying to lose weight with diet and exercise.  Simple calories in/calories out were NOT working and I hit a plateau.  I didn't know what else to do so I gave it a try.  I LOVED it.  Now don't get me wrong, it was TOUGH.  But I couldn't get over how great I felt.  I read the book that accompanied the whole 30 called, It Starts with Food.  It was so fascinating to read this book and I kept telling Aaron all about it.

So here goes.  Tomorrow starts Day 1 for both Aaron and I and I am so excited.  I am going to attempt to use the blog as a journal through the next 30 days.  

Tonight is the night before and we've done all of our meal prep.  I began with a month long calendar planning out our dinners.  Then this afternoon, I began getting my breakfasts and lunches made for this week.  

I made scrambled egg muffins with bacon and chopped up veggies.  I premade bags of raw nuts.  Hard boiled a dozen eggs, made paleo mayo, and made egg salad.

Aaron is planning to have leftover dinner from tonight as his lunch for tomorrow.

I am excited!
See you tomorrow!
