The Purge

So today was a day of preparation, as we officially start our Whole30 tomorrow. I spent the day purging our pantry and fridge and shopping for what seemed like mostly meat. It was actually more exciting than it sounds. It felt really good to get rid of stuff that I know is not making my family healthier. And it felt equally good to fill my shopping cart with good, whole foods. Better yet, I seem to have stayed within my budget for the week (though I won't know for sure until the week is over and we've tallied the emergency grocery store trips). I made a Paleo chili for dinner tonight, expecting that we could have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. However, my two little cave-babies had three bowls each! Not sure we'll have leftovers...
