Here is my refrigerator door before I cleared out all the junk.
Here is what it looked like after…
It was shocking to see what all I had in my fridge! Make no mistake about it, my pantry was just as bad. The spice cabinet was actually an after-thought, but turned out to have all sorts of sugar, MSG, and soy. Now it too has had a makeover.
It feels really good to be committed to reclaiming my nutrition. I’ve talked a good talk before, but walking the walk is another animal entirely. Starting tomorrow, and for the next thirty days, I’m going to eradicate grains, dairy, and sugar from my menu. It’s important to see what these things are doing to me, especially since auto-immunity is an issue in my family. Over the next month, I will document not only what I eat, but any changes I experience in my body. The goal is not weight loss (although that’ll be a bonus), but I will be weighing and taping my measurements tomorrow morning before putting the scale and tape measure away for the whole month. I’ll make sure and post how it turns out.
Just so you know, I began this whole thing as a result of a nutrition challenge that was put out by our fitness center. I will be following the Whole30 plan, which can be found on www.whole9life.com.
