If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

Tomorrow is day one and I wanted to share the timeline of the next 30 days as put together by the Whole30 people.  It's a pretty funny read and depending on your former habits can be pretty accurate.  I definitely had the I just want to take a nap for the first week and kind of evened out after that.  I think that the timeline shows that you will have your ups and downs over the next 30 days but it's ok, everyone does.  :)

Also I wanted to share with you some of my favorite paleo cooking blogs.  Cooking blogs are amazing and I've used a wide variety of cooking blogs over the past 4 years to create delicious food.  So when I went through my first Whole30 it only seemed appropriate that I turn to blogs for ideas.  These are just a few of the many out there but are definitely my favorite.

Also I just wanted to touch on not worrying about what you can't eat and enjoying everything you can.  Eat as much food as you want and don't worry about if you need to have a snack. I know some hardcore paleo people are anti-snacking but I think that if you need to snack, do it.  This isn't about restriction it is about freedom.  The freedom to not feel hungry/guilty/tired/just plain crappy anymore.

Finally, tomorrow morning I want you to hop on the scale and take you measurements.  Write this down and then don't worry about weighing or measuring yourself for the next 30 days.  Seriously, don't even peek.  :)

So are you ready?  Do you have a favorite healthy cooking blog or cookbook?
