Starting 10/13

A few months ago I attempted to do the Whole 30 and while the first week went swimmingly I fell off in a big way. I think I was so disappointed in myself that I just decided it wasn't for me. Well neither had been paleo, trying to just eat healthy etc. After months of self hating, I am over giving myself a pity party and ready to do the work to be the best me I can be. Tomorrow I will start and this time, I will not quit. I have read the book from start to finish and have gone grocery shopping. I can't to start the rest of my life tomorrow!

You can do it! I just started yesterday. I think this is my 3rd attempt.  I've never gotten past day 5, but I'm going to do it this time.

You can both do it.  Make sure you have compliant food around you all the time, even if it means a bunch of cooking.  Having some pre-cooked roasted potatoes and veggies (brussel sprouts work great) in the fridge ready to go has helped me immensely.  Those tiny potatoes roasted on a piece of tin foil and covered with olive oil make a great fat for breakfast  and are very easy and help you keep your carbs up so you don't get hungry for other non-compliant foods.  I always have some ground meat in the freezer for quick protein too. And the chicken meatballs from the whole 30 book are a little work to make but travel well so I usually keep them on hand.  Wholly guacamole mini-cups have been my savior when I need a fat quickly to stem some cravings.
