Prep

My sister has talked me into doing the Whole30 diet. Let me give you some background on myself. I like food. I eat a lot of food. Pasta is my favorite food. I drink at least 3 pops a day. On this diet I eat only vegetables and fruit and nuts... that's about it. But I love my sister and I decide to do it with her. So this blog is pretty much to fill the void in my life where food should be.

So prep: what this post is supposed to be about. I emptied my fridge and pantry of anything that is off limits and I went shopping. First thing I notice is that this is going to be expensive. I'm on a budget, so I got a bunch of frozen veggies, some canned tuna, chicken, and fruit (I realize now that I need some fresh fruit as well). I also bought almond milk, coconut water, eggs, and peanuts.

I felt broke but pretty good as I left the grocery, ready to start my healthier lifestyle!

I went home and read more about the Whole30 and realized that I could not eat the peanuts that I had just bought or the vegetable oil I had kept in my pantry. Also apparently corn is a grain...  So off on another shopping trip to get almonds and canola oil.

Finally, I was ready for the Whole30 to begin.
