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.

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.

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!
Yeah I love alcohol too much..in a non alcoholic way haha
