Whole 30 Day 1

Today began my attempt to complete "The Whole 30 Program" in hopes of getting some more energy and clearing my skin up a bit. I did have a headache most of the day (totally missed my Starbucks macchiato) but I wasn't starving by any means. I woke up late so I only had time to grab some eggs and fruit, but for lunch and dinner (hey, it's hard to pack lunch sometimes) I made myself salads with organic greens, grilled chicken, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, Fuji apples, and oil/vinegar dressing. I'm not a big salad person but these were pretty good!

I fully intend on getting some "before" photos, but since AB really wanted to watch "The Hunger Games" after I got off work, the picture taking will have to wait.

As for my goals while on the program:

• Get more energy
• Sleep better
• Wake up easier
• Improve my running time and distance
• Get rid of random aches and pains
• Clear up acne
• Lose a few pounds

My starting stats:

• Weight: 161.5
• Measurements: 39-32-39 (gasp)
• Sleep 7-9 hours a night but hit the snooze button 10 times and am still tired all day
• Hormonal acne on cheeks and chin
• 13+ min/mile running; max distance so far 1.7 miles
• Random aches and pains, especially in my back and knees
