I'm starting a Whole30 tomorrow. 

I've always been fascinated by the program and now I'm going to dive on in and try it. I've been struggling with vertigo and a few other nagging problems that I'm hoping a nutritional reset will solve. I've spent the day prepping everything; I made a menu plan, cleaned out the fridge, and went shopping at Whole Paycheck Foods. 

Best of all, I made some mayo from scratch using a recipe from Well Fed, a cookbook written by Melissa Joulwan. If you want the recipe, buy the book, it's worth the money. It's probably on her blog as well, but as a writer I like it when people buy books. 

Here's a picture of my mayo. I'm very proud. It turned out perfectly and tastes amazing. 




I also washed some organic spinach. I love spinach and eat it every day, but I usually buy the bagged stuff. A big part of Whole30 is eating fresh, local, organic as much as possible. Here's my spinach:  
You're supposed to journal on Whole30 and keep track of your progress to help you stay on track, so, since we've been neglecting the blog, I thought I'd revive it just for that purpose. I may even post before and after pics. We'll have to see about that. 

Making a list of meals is also helpful for other people on Whole30 to get meal ideas. That's where I get them anyway.
