Day one...

My own Whole30 experience...Day One. 

I sat down last night with the determination to start a Whole30. It has been something in the back of my mind, but I have always been a little nervous. Giving up the grains (that I had reintroduced into my diet) would be no problem...it is the sugars that have me nervous!! I have a tremendous sweet tooth...and an addiction to Diet Dr. Pepper. I finished my last one at 8pm last night. I planned meals for the week, told the family if they didn't like what I was making, they didn't have to eat it and could fend for themselves! I did ask them to at least try. 

Day one started with a two hour delay for the kids. So of course that meant the girls wanted pancakes for breakfast. Way to start huh?!? A trip to Trader Joe's for the menu supplies, and home to get started on dinner. Up first...Rockin' Meatloaf. So I've been told the above mixture looks like emesis!! For those non medical peeps...vomit, puke, barf...you get the picture. The innards of the meatloaf so to say! It smelled amazing while cooking! Once put together with the hamburger, it tasted amazing as well!!

So how do I feel on day one...I've got a rockin' headache to go with the Rockin' Meatloaf! I guess that's to be expected though. I've been tired all day as well, even after getting 10 hours of sleep last night. Here's hoping tomorrow is better!!
