New adventure

In this sense, I'm becoming a bandwagoner, but in a good way. 

I have been researching and studying the process of Whole 30. I would sorta consider this the new "fad" diet. The popularity has exploded. Without going through EVERYTHING in detail, the gist of it is to eat foods that are good and nutritious for you. This means limiting some things. No dairy, no sugar (fake or real), and some other things. 

For me, it seems overwhelming. The more I look into it and the more I research it the more I realize that it really isn't so. It's all about the mindset, the willpower, and the determination to do it. 

God didn't intend for our body to be abused by eating junk and stuff that isn't good for you. In this, the majority of the diet consists of lots and lots of protein, veggies, fruits and good fats and carbs. 

I'm bound and determined to change my ways. I need to get healthier. I need to lose some weight and I know I can't do this all on my own. God help me. 

I had previously set a date to start this on Jan 29th. I forgot that I had a big test that I needed to take that week, so I am setting it on my calendar to start the next week. Feb 5th. Until then, I'm going to take conscious strides to start eliminating things that I know I can't have. Starting with the sugar. 

The sugar is my weakness. I've had a bad sweet tooth for far too long and I know that will be my demise if I don't get it under control now. 

 Anyway, I think this post is really scattered. All of them normally are. However, this is my posting to say that I am doing this. I will do this. I will succeed...one day at a time...
