I honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to complete Whole30, but I’m going to try, starting on January 2.  I tried to do paleo last year, and I lasted three and a half days–not a great record.  Every year, my best friends do a January cleanse of either paleo or Whole30, and every year I thought they were crazy and that there would be no way I would join.  This year, however, I’m going to give it a shot.  To do that, I have needed to prepare myself with strategies to overcome the challenges I know lay ahead.  This is how I’m preparing for Whole30, from a complete beginner.

Why now?  I’m sick of feeling like shit.
