It is the beginning of the end...or is it the end of a beginning?

My family is officially in "countdown mode." There are many ways to look at it. T-minus 3 days and counting, or T-minus 72 hours and counting...or for those family members who are having a harder time coming to terms with our choice to participate in Whole30 for the next 30 days...T-minus 4,320 minutes and counting. We are doing a dang good job validating what we already know (that we have a very dysfunctional relationship with food) by ordering burgers and pizza, baking cookies and scavenging for every piece of chocolate in the house that we just know will SCREAM our names come Monday morning. Oh, and let us not forget the Diet Coke. Wes & I are making sure to get our "fill" by practically setting up a constant drip! As hard as I know this will be (especially for those who know me...the Diet Coke piece!) I am ready! I am ready to stand tall and be strong for my family. I am ready to be healthy and have my family be a part of that adventure! We hope that you enjoy reading about our trials and triumphs (every family member will have the opportunity to blog) during the next 30 days. So it is the beginning of the end (of our unhealthy relationship with food)...and will soon be the end of the beginning (of our new healthy relationship with food)...Monday will fly by, right?!?!?! ~Jen

  1. Jen, I am so excited that your whole family will be on this journey together. You won't regret it one bit. Keep it simple and keep it real. It doesn't have to be difficult, and after a very short time your taste for real food will be so powerful that anything processed (including DC) will just taste off. I am cheering for you.
