First thing to check off the list

WHOLE30

Today I have started the Whole30. For those who don't know what I am talking about....its a serious diet. Its a diet based on only organic whole foods. A lot of meat surprisingly. I went to the grocery store this morning and bought
  • pomegranates 
  • lemons (my favorite thing...EVER)
  • cucumber 
  • apples
  • bananas
See the problem with a couple of items I got? haha yes, they are all fruity. However, I am currently eating steamed broccoli. The Whole30 is going to be a huge challenge for me and I am a little worried. Wish me good luck these next few weeks, I am determined to lose a couple pounds and to really work on my running.

New Year Resoutions.

Every year the most popular New Years resolution is to lose weight. I would have to say it's probably not the best resolution but certainly not say the worst. Probably because it's most likely the most popular for being said then done. I can say that I am one of many who say "this year I will lose weight" and within a few days I am scarfing down a few cookies while making myself a bowl of ice cream.
 I am definitely one who struggles when I try something by myself but this year I'm not alone. My mother, Amy, is watching her calorie intake.  My older sister, Hannah, is not only eating healthy and working out but plans to make a life style change. My boyfriend, Mason, has cut his calorie intake by more than half of what it used to be.
It really helps when you have people who are in the same boat as you. That's why I'm writing this blog, you can never have too many people who are supporting you and vise versa.  Whether it's losing weight or you need a little more motivation with reaching a goal. Plus, what's more motivating than letting the whole world know what you plan on doing. There expecting it, so don't give up.
