The "Why"

So onto Coach Heather's questions:

1. WHY am I doing a Whole30?
Because I feel like shit half most of the time.
Because I work out and most people would be surprised about that.
Because I'm tired of saying "I'm in good shape for the shape I'm in."
Because clothes are uncomfortable. (Yes, even leggings which is a sorry situation.)
Because every year I go up a size in clothing.
Because I want to live long enough to see my grandchildren grown up.
Because shitty meals make for shitty workouts. And my workouts have been really shitty lately.
Because I don't want my children to be embarrassed by me.
Because I'm tired of being uncomfortable in my skin.
Because I want to conquer my food dysfunctions.
Because I know I can do better.
Because I need to re-learn (if I ever really knew how) to eat.
Because I'm tired all the time.
Because I hate looking at myself in the mirror.

2. What are you hoping to feel like at the end of 30 days?
Less tired, less stressed, less bloated and yucky.
I want to look at myself in the mirror and tell myself I'm proud of me.
And, if I must be honest, I'm hoping to lose some weight.

3. What is stopping you from feeling that way now?
The way I eat. That stupid "sugar dragon."

4. Imagine yourself in March (after 30 days and the reintroduction), how does that feel?
I am nourishing myself with protein, vegetables, and fruits.
I am eating in a controlled manner.
I love myself and eating well is taking care of myself the best way.
I am having great workouts and am feeling stronger.
I have less joint pain.
