Whole 30 challenge

First and foremost, I'd like to start with saying we should all pray and keep those affected by the Midwest tornadoes yesterday in our our prayers and thoughts.  I haven't seen or remember a tornado that had an  80 mile storm path, that's a VERY strong storm.

Yesterday I received a call from my cousin Carly.  We don't talk often (like most of my family) but when we do its nice to catch up and just talk to those you love.  We talk about the past, present, and even goals for this year.  Just when you think you are so different from those you grow up with, you quickly see how maybe your paths are not that far off in the future!

So the title of this entry is Whole 30 Challenge, and for good reason.  +Luis  and I are going to do this challenge and see how we feel after 30 days.  Basically we have been following a lot of these protocols post weight loss, but noticing different things with our bodies, that lead me to believe that we need to eliminate dairy, grains, all processed foods.  On Take Shape for Life the foods are processed by medical doctors to help you lose weight, and I would never change that part of my life, but for the future and becoming even more healthy I want to take it up a notch for us both.

We are going to be eating more protein that we have to help stimulate better hormone function and facilitate more energy.  Even though we aren't going to the gym or doing some regime of work out programs, we are having a more active lifestyle and we both experience energy slumps.  So why not try something for 30 days and see what happens.  Since I am going to be at this apartment complex for a few more weeks, there is gym here - small and limited - but FREE! I am challenging myself to at least 30 minutes of work out a day.  Ideally I would like to do an hour - but sometimes you just get bored in there.  I do struggle with boredom often!

If you would like to do the Whole 30 challenge with +Luis  and I send me a message on here, text me, facebook, and even email me.  I'll help you get on board!  It is a bit drastic, but I am confident it will be awesome.  It has nothing to do with the program we lost weight on, but I do believe it can help just about anyone.
