Onto a new journey! Whole30

Well I had completely fogotten about this blog! I was thinking about blogging my next 30 days and I remembered I had already have a blog! I am very excited about this new journey... Like lots of women, I am not at the health level I would like to be. I am working really hard on that. I decided at the beginning of this year to really work at it and start making changes. I started a boot camp at church that is at 5 am every Monday, Wednesday, Friday (that was a big adjustment!) I've been going to boot camp for 3 months now. I am seeing some good results too! I'm doing things that I didn't think I would be able to do and can really see myself getting stronger. I decided to stop eating fast food (after watching some interesting documentaries) and have done pretty good at it, have had it a few times this year. But I still feel like I'm not getting the full results that I want. I still feel like I'm constantly craving food that isn't good for me even though I have a goal and purpose in mind that is very important to me and my future. I have seen some friends on facebook lately that have been eating a lot better and seeing great results. I feel like I eat pretty well but could bump it up a few notches. I heard about a program called Whole30 and decided I would check it out. It's INTENSE. and a full MONTH! Ok, so I've never been good at doing something strict which is why I did weight watchers, still eat what you want! Well, that hasn't really been working out for me so it's time to go for it. Basically I'm going to be eating healthy natural foods and nothing processed. I'm not gonna go all into what I CAN'T eat because that's just not the route I want to take. I am looking at it in a positive light. I will be starting this 30 day program tomorrow, April 1 and going all the way to the end of the month. Scary. It's more of a "change the way you think about food" rather than a weight loss program. I have been preparing my mind and body ahead of time so I can really stay on track... I started eating more natural foods this week and less sugar so I can get ready and just have that mindset in place when I start tomorrow. I don't want to totally shock my system! I am also currently reading a book given to me by one of my best friends Lea. She rocks my socks because she's actually going to do this program with me! Yay for support! She gave me a book she read called Made to Crave by Lysa TerKeurst from Proverbs 31 ministries. I've only read a few chapters so far but its a good read. It's about craving God more than we crave food. Which is hard for me to be vulnerable and admit to but its true. So I am writing this blog because I need the accountability of other people knowing that I'll be doing this. I work best with accountability. So if you see me in April, ask me how its going! LOL. I don't know how often I'll blog about it, maybe every day, maybe once a week but I want to track how it goes. Thank you in advance for the support! :)
