Today began much like any other. I rolled out of bed, groggy and sore, and deeply regretting the box of Swiss Rolls that disappeared during the game the night before, hoping a hot shower would take the sleepy/gross feeling away.
About 2 minutes in it hit me: Today is Day 1 of the Whole30! My first reaction was to panic - did I have something I wasn't supposed to? Have a messed it up yet? What am I allowed to eat again?
The doubts quickly cleared as my brain woke up and I made my way to the coffee pot. Thank God for the coffee pot. Thank you, Whole30, for letting me keep the coffee pot. This would be a much different journey without it! We'll delve into that later, but rest assured, coffee is the deciding factor in my Whole30 success
