So, for reasons I myself am not even sure of, I have decided to do the “Whole 30” program starting May 1. This means that for those 30 days, I can’t have dairy, sugar, sugar substitutes, alcohol, grains, and about 50 other things I can’t think of right now. Now, those who know me well might think that the alcohol would be the one that would do me in, but those who know me VERY well know that it’s gonna be Coke Zero. I’m a full blown addict. I have my first Coke Zero of the day shortly after I wake up in the morning. I have my second as soon as I arrive at my desk. After that, I lose count. Caffeine Free Coke Zero was one of the best things that ever happened to me, because then I could drink them after 3:00 p.m. which is my caffeine cut-off time. A Coke Zero right before bed–woo hoo!!! What could be better!!! But, I digress. I was telling a friend of mine about the “Whole 30”, and she has decided to do it as well. Which is great, because we eat together about 75% of the time. We’ve got the book, a couple of cookbooks, and the entire internet to help us.
So, wish me well, and if there are other Paleos out there, tell me your stories…I need all the encouragement I can get!!!

Good luck on this adventure! Have you tried listening to podcasts? There are so many great ones out there that will definitely keep you motivated. My favorites are: Robb Wolf Paleo Solution, Chris Kresser, Health Bridge, and Abel James Fat Burning Man.
Thanks for those suggestions…I’ll definitely check them out. I’m now into Day 7 and hanging in there. I appreciate your encouragement!!
