Hello again. I am excited and nervous about starting Whole30 tomorrow. I feel like I have prepped pretty well. I took before pictures, weighed and measured. Even though we had a busy family filled day due to Easter, I went to the grocery store at about 8pm. I had made my menu for every meal and prepared a shopping list. Just FYI - I spent $100 for groceries - just food items - for the week. I have myself, my husband and one daughter at home. I took time to prep some vegies and fruit. Out of curiosity I timed it. To prep broccoli, cauliflower, one bell pepper, two pounds of carrots, 4 potatoes (not for me, they went in with the roast for dinner tomorrow) and a cantaloupe in about 30 minutes. I don't think that's too bad. I purposely put ziplocks of some of the vegies in the frig at eye level. I also browned up some steak bits and prepared my lunch for tomorrow while doing all this.
Another piece of prep work I have done the past 2 days was to start minimizing my carbs/sugars. I hope this will make any withdrawals a little less harsh. Hopefully.
I haven't read enough of the book to feel completely ready...but I do believe I have the basics down. This is one reason I only bought a week of groceries. I imagine I will learn more and have a modified plan for next week. I also hope to run across a recipe or two that I would like to try.
I have two events this week that I am trying to be especially prepared for. Tomorrow we are having a pizza party to celebrate a coworkers birthday. Like I said earlier I prepared my lunch so I should totally be good to go! Friday and Saturday I am going to a womens retreat with my sister. I have a list of foods to pack that should get me through any situation. Plus I told my sister that I am on this plan and I know she will be supportive.
So long for now - I will be back tomorrow night!
