The Whole 28.5: Worries and Wowza!

The Whole 28 and a Half: We Can Do This.

2 Days until Showtime

I'm not going to lie to you guys, I'm getting a little anxious/nervous to get this started! It's just TWO days away. Have you gotten the groceries squared away? You food-packing tools set? Have you eaten all of the cheese still left in the house?!?! If not, that's totally okay...because we still have two days left.

Now let's push aside the worries: I'm not yet going to bombard you with more information. The past two posts have been jam-packed with lists and rules and "gotta remembers," so I think it's best to let that all marinate as we warm up to the big day. This is also a super good time to gather questions! I will be posting a lot of supplementary information for this challenge, to keep us "in the know" and help out along the way. Your questions could spark a multitude of topics to tackle right here on the blog!

I am also currently reading It Starts with Food, the book written by Whole30 creators Dallas and Melissa Hartwig. (Okay, let's be honest...I'm listening to the audio book; I don't have time to sit down!) I intend to share as much of their awesome insight as possible while breaking down some of the more scientific aspects as well. I predict some charts in our futures...

Let's remember now: We've got this. We can do it. The challenges that seem daunting now will be mere trifles in a week or so! So with these two days, let's get to it together. Groceries.  Packing Prep. Water. "Journaling/Tracking."

IN FACT! I decided to jot down a little personal thought in m'journal before we get this show on the road and I think you should, too. I'll even share mine. Yeah I know: NERD.

FIRST THOUGHTS

"I'm a little nervous myself about sticking to it. Both today and yesterday, I looked in the fridge to find absolutely nothing prepared and packed for lunch, so I totally bailed on being responsible. Oh, the regret! BUT with just two days until we begin, I fully intend to stick to it solidly and lead this challenge with zest!

I also feel myself on the verge of getting sick (womp womp!), but if I'm honest with myself, cleaning up the diet will only help that."

Initial High Hope Goals

1) Maybe dropping 2-3 pounds

2) Keep track of the effects on my skin and energy levels

3) Stick to our planned weekly workout schedule

4) Learn to enjoy a hell of a lot of water!

5) At least retain one new, lasting, healthy habit from this!

It's not exactly Shakespeare, but it's honest. You should be, too.
