WHOLE30 DAY 1
WHOLE30 STATE OF MIND - DAY1
For years I have thought about doing the Whole30 but haven't executed it for many lame excuses. My gym, Endorphin, is doing a group Whole30 and I figured this was the perfect time to commit to myself, 1 month of clean eating and fitness. My goal from January 4th - February 2nd is to adhere to Whole30 guidelines and work out everyday.
Whole30 Rules
1. No sugar, real or artificial.
2. No alcohol.
3. No Grains.
4. No Legumes.
5. No recreating baked goods or treats with compliant ingredients.
6. Do not step on the scale.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping and bought loads of veggies, fruits and protein. I'm sad to say goodbye to my vino but I'm feeling excited and determined. Here we go!
