kmcandmmc Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Im thinking if I document my experience it will hold me accountable. So here goes - 48 yrs old, always healthy, never any real health issues to speak of. But not exactly very kind to my body over the years so eventually this would catch up to me, THIS YEAR..... Just recently Dx with pre-diabetes, HTN, and have joint pain even when I sleep. And speaking of sleeping, I have always been a great sleeper. No longer. Hard to fall asleep, stay asleep. Many nights staring at the ceiling. OH!! and I have GERD and an Ulcer, which I didnt even know I had. Sooooooo, since I am an RN and a mom to a 21 yr old AND an 8 yr old I really really need to step up my game and get my crap together. So HERE GOES!! I did my research , bought and read both books....I have done Paleo in the past and have had phenominal success with it. I know how amazing it feels to nourish my body with healthy food and make healthy decisions. I am looking forward to this challenge and to change my life for the better. I began Whole 30 yesterday. Did perfectly on all 3 meals. BUT 2 Oreos found their way into my mouth at work.... SO now today is officially DAY 1.... I will post tonight what I ate & how I feel....
