Don't Wake Me Up
So they're not lying to you, if you've ever read the Whole30 program guide. Day 3 dawns just like it did on Day 2, but somehow you aren't ready for it. It makes sense, really, if your body is spending all this extra energy on it's chemical-spring-cleaning, but still.... I'm exhausted! 
My morning routine usually starts at 5:30am with no problem, but today - phew! I could have sworn it was only just after midnight when my alarm went off. They say it will wear off, of which I have no doubt, but seriously - today was loooong. I would have paid an exorbitant amount of money for this today! (Check in out here)

Wake Up Call
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
