Our New Journey: Whole30

So…we’re trying Whole30. Tomorrow is DAY ONE. If you follow me on my Snapchat (@maddiehittle), you saw me make the announcement there first. Meal plannin’, preppin’ and cookin’! Aaron was planning on helping me shop and cook all day but he had to spray his cherries before the next rain storm comes tomorrow…(cue the tears…the sunshine has been so nice!)

I don’t know about you but we definitely have a winter coat going on right now…too much over-indulging and not enough self-awareness. I swear that self-awareness is huge when it comes to your health. Be aware of the fact that you ate that brownie last night and make good choices the next day. Don’t beat yourself up over it…just move on. It’s easy to say, really hard to do…(hence, my winter coat, y’all.)

These past few months Aaron and I haven’t been self-aware. We ate what we wanted, hardly exercised, and didn’t listen to our bodies. After lots of conversations like, “Okay, we’re going to the gym every day this week!” Or “No fast food until the weekend!” etc., we finally got serious and looked into Whole30.

We aren’t looking for a quick, unhealthy fix. Although that would be nice…we want to feel good again. Feel healthy and happy and energized! And after lots of research and recommendations, we decided on Whole30.

We are still learning and will be learning every day along the way, but we’re pretty excited about it! Have you tried Whole30? What was the hardest part? (Ours will for sure be the “no alcohol”…sorry to all our friends for the next 30 days…) What was your favorite recipe? Who should we follow on social media for encouragement and recipes? Tell us what you think or join us on the journey!! Let’s keep each other accountable!

Stay tuned for more…maybe I’ll share some fun recipes we’ve enjoyed or our struggles along the way? What do you want to see? Progress? Tell me.

Okay, bye! We are off to my parents house for Burger Sunday with the pups…happy Sunday everyone!

xoxo, maddie
