Let's talk about the Whole 30 Challenge. I'm not sure I would call it a "challenge," it's more of a healthy lifestyle change than a challenge, but I see so many people say it's a challenge, so for now we will go with that. Alright, so this post is going to dish out all the details on how this challenge works. This is a 30 day lifestyle reboot to teach you how to cut out the things you normally crave that you know aren't good for your body, healthy, and weight.
We'll start with the "rules."
So for starters, this challenge focuses on eating things that are good, wholesome, and healthy for your body and it's functions. You'll see on the left side that you want to focus on eating things that are NOT processed!
I think the best part of this program is that it's a no-sympathy challenge. Basically, this program is designed to make you healthy, so you won't find anyone feeling sorry for you that you can't drink your coffee with sugar, or that you can't have cookies/icecream. On the Whole30 website, you'll find that their beliefs are this:
· Beating Cancer - IS hard
· Birthing a baby - IS hard
·Drinking your coffee without sugar - IS NOT hard!
I have to say...I agree! We, as humans, tend to make excuses. We think things are "impossible," when the reality is, it's easy, we just have to believe and know that it's not as hard as we think. Weightloss and eating healthy, are the same way! You can have a really great workout, sweating and heavy breathing, no excuses! Or you can go in with the mindset that you can't do it, that it's too hard, that you'll never be as good as the other people, and you'll find that you will get NOWHERE in life, especially in the fitness world, with that attitude. "Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right."

Each day, I will be posting what I've eaten for that day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I will let you in to our world for the next 30 days. This will be raw. This will be new, so be patient with us as we walk down this path for the next few weeks. I will try doing daily vlogs at the end of the evening with my husband to recap how we feel. I think the hardest part of this challenge, is not being able to weigh yourself or take measurements for the 30 days! Yes, that's part of the rules.
NO WEIGHING YOURSELF!

In addition to changing what we eat, we will also be continuing our workouts. Here is my schedule:
Monday- Zumba or Cardio
Tuesday- BobyPump
Wednesday- BootCamp
Thursday- BodyCombat
Friday- Yoga

So, that's it! That's our plan. You can find out more information about the Whole 30 program HERE!
