I did some research online and found the whole 30 website. I ran right down to the library and checked out the book. I read it all in one day because I was so excited to get started. I am a scientist so the information in the book just made sense to me.
I spent several hours yesterday putting together a plan and spending some time talking my husband into it. He is addicted to soda and sweats and has never completed one of our work out and diet programs without cheating. I have made him promise to give this a try. To be fair I have never stuck with anything for long either so this will be a challenge. You can do anything for 30 days right? I think that the strictness of it actually makes it easer; it is pretty black and white.
I did my grocery shopping today and will do a little prep work tonight like cutting up vegetables for salads and breakfast scrambles so we are ready. The first week will be pretty simple with a lot of repeats. I will do more research this week and try to change it up next week.
I have added a basic meal plan for the work week here and will keep this journal to track our progress.
No sugar, no dairy, no alcohol, no grains for 30 days...
So day 1 tomorrow 23Feb2015. 0 down 30 to go!

2 hours of prep time cutting vegetables, grilling chicken, and crisping procuitto and we are ready. Procuitto was my replacement for bacon because it was impossible to find without sugar. The procuitto crisped up nicely in the oven and should be good sprinkled over eggs in the morning.
