Whole 30 Diet

Today I embark upon the whole 30 diet. I was kind of tricked into it, but I decided it seems like a good idea.

Two coworkers behind my desk, discussing something. As one turns to leave, she says, “Courtney! You’ll do it, too, right?” and I said, “Sure, I’m in!” And then I had to turn around to my other co-worker and ask what I just agreed to. It was Whole 30.

But, even thought I could have weaseled out of it, I decided I’m going to do it anyway. My weight always yo-yo’s around, but I feel like this year has been especially bad. I bet it would surprise most people that I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I definitely feel stronger since I started going, but I have gained so much weight. It’s been awful. it is because my diet is so poor. I eat out of the vending machine at work a lot. I just eat a lot of junk. So I’m hoping that Whole 30 will reset my eating, and I’ll get back on track. 

No alcohol allowed on this diet!

Dave went to the grocery store with a shopping list and came back with lots of vegetables and fruits. Hopefully, I will be creative enough to figure out how to cook it all… or maybe I will learn how to cook from this. 

Has anyone else done this before? If so, any helpful resources?

    Never done it but I am oh so curious about it. I feel like I’d have a hard time giving up some of the things.

    I’ve done whole 30 twice and hated every living moment of it. But it does work for losing weigh. However, the second I finish it, I go back to my old bad habits. I don’t think it really “resets” anything. Have fun.

    This is one of my favourite websites for healthy recipes: http://www.kalynskitchen.com/

    Eating real food requires a little more time and planning but is so worth it. I definitely notice it in how my body feels and how my skin reacts as well!
