Whole30 Journey- Pre-planning stages

A couple of days ago, Holly, my bestie, texted me saying her & Christian (hubby) were starting the Whole30 program. I don't know much about Paleo diets & such, but I figured she meant whole foods, no flour, etc but that dairy, rice, and (hopefully) alcohol was included.

HAHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH Nope. 

No dairy, alcohol, sweets, grains or legumes. Fuck me.

The morning they were planning on starting got pushed back. I got to REALLY thinking about doing it, too. I had no intentions of doing this in the beginning because I didn't have enough time to plan my first week's worth of meals/snacks after she'd told me but I didn't want to start without them because I know I will need support during this.

I plan on posting every day during this process; my meals & snacks (hopefully including pictures!) and what exercise I did that day, if any. I also plan on taking a couple of before pics & measurements (although I am NOT doing this to lose weight, but rather to cleanse & aide my body & see what it's like being truly sugar-free!)

A little Google/Pinterest research into Whole30 suggests slight to MASSIVE headaches within the first couple days (up to 2 weeks!) due to sugar withdraw. 

Considering I eat oatmeal w/ peanut butter & jelly every morning, as well as eat dark chocolate daily & indulge in a glass of red wine 5 nights a week... I know I'm in for a kick in the ass. Oh yeah... & I chew gum constantly.

Looks like Friday night will be spent at Sprouts stocking up on nuts, coconut oil, eggs, poultry/beef and fresh produce!!!
