Day 1 Whole30

What is Whole30?

As my first day of Whole30 winds down, I am craving something sweet. This is why I chose to start Whole 30-or at least that is what I keep telling myself to keep from unfreezing some paleo chocolate chip cookies. Although I have been eating paleo consistently for some time now, I felt that I was consuming a little too much paleo baked goods and paleo-ish food. I wanted to get back to basics and eat whole, real food. I am still in the weight loss portion of my paleo lifestyle and am hoping this Whole30 journey will kick start the weight loss again. But aside from the weight loss, I am hoping it will change the way I think about food, my unhealthy habits towards food and cravings (the sooner the better!).
Part of the rules of Whole30 is to do it now, cold turkey. Although I planned it to begin today, had I planned well, I would have picked another day. Today my father had partial colectomy for his diverticulitis and it was my daughters first day of school. It has been a stressful day and normally I would have reached for a few paleo baked goods to help me through. But I committed to today and have done surprisingly well. Like I said, I still have those pesky cravings and aside from a headache earlier, which could be due to weather changes as it was 96 degrees here the other day and 65 today. I was also somewhat irritable at work but that could have been due to my stress level.
I look forward to detoxing myself from the excess sugar (even if it was considered paleo). I will attempt to post each day how I am doing and feeling so that I may help inspire others or at least give them an idea what to expect.
