It Starts with Food.

I'll be doing my second whole30, starting on MLK, Jr. Day. Here's how I'll be using this coming week to prep:

1. Incorporate breakfast. I'll take a couple of minutes (literally) each morning to make scrambled or fried eggs. I'll eat these on a bed of fresh spinach or with some microwaved (20 secs) canned beets. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. 
2. I'll stop drinking beer and wine. It can be done!
3. I'll reread my blog from September and spend time on the Whole9 blog and the helpful guides there. Then I'll make a meal plan and grocery list. Good links:

Why am I not just jumping in? Because it's damn hard. And I want to succeed. 

Last time, I attached oral health to my Whole30 challenge. I'll do this again, but I'm also adding a

nightly body scan meditation. I'm reading Mindfulness for Dummies and I found some good apps 

to guide me until I'm comfortable doing it on my own.

I'm not a lazy jerk, and I'm tired of feeling like and acting like one.
