Whole30 Day 1 I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

9/11/2015

I am whole again... Well, Whole30 again...

Inspired by my friend Paige... again and a recent home clutter purge; I decided to get on the Whole30 plan to give a big kick start to my health goals. 

If I can bring myself to put away of all of the excess stuff on my kitchen counters, I should be able to let go of the junk crowding my guts for so long... I've been full of excuses and bad food choices so I am really feeling the need to get my act together and cut the crap.

This time around, I made a plan for the protocol when Day 31 shows up... unlike last time when I treated it like free for all and re-gained most of the weight and all of the back pain, migraines, and fatigue in the span of about two weeks.

How can I guarantee it will be different this time? I can't, but I also can't stop starting over... giving up is not an option... If I am not actively trying to better my health I am slowly sliding further into a pit that only gets harder to escape. 

So, today was Day 1... again... 
and I feel hopeful... again... 
and I'll check in with you all tomorrow... again...
