Starting Strong I Hope

So, My wife convinced me that I should do the "Whole 30" with her.  It's a diet where you basically cut out all grains, all added sugar, all alcohol, all dairy, and all legumes for 30 days.  You then slowly introduce those foods back in to see how they individually affect you and you make decisions based on how you feel, on how much if ever you should have them again

You basically eat a meat protein and veggies all the time.  I add nuts except peanuts and a little bit of fruit.  I am on day 12 and now that I am over the hump I feel safe writing about it without going off on a rant about how much it sucks to not have that drink at the end of a long day or that baklava that my wife made literally the day before we started this thing.

The upside of the diet so far is that I don't have to worry about food because I know I have to plan ahead to get the food prepared.  If I don't prepare, I won't be able to eat and for me, that's bad... very... very... bad.  The other upside is that it will help me accomplish a handfull of 101 in 1001 day goals like:

4. Drink 2 liters of water every day for a month (I have to drink water or I'll be hungry all the time.  I'm drinking 2 liters of day and so far it's been very easy)

5. Go one month without added sugar, sugary drinks, candy, etc (It's a part of the diet and something I wanted to do anyway...yay)

6. Pack lunch to work every day for a month (If I don't pack lunch I'll be forced to scavenge and find compliant food which is generally fairly difficult in a short amount of time without cooking.)

8. Go a month without getting gas station/takeout food at all (this food is non compliant period).  I did get a few Dunkin Donuts Coffee's Black.  The way I see it, that's fine for the purposes of this goal.

10. Take a multivitamin every day for a month (I've added this to my lunchbag I carry every day to work and it's fairly easy too)

13. Set a daily routine and stick to it for a month (This basically set itself once I started planning means ahead and all that jazz)

16. Complete a 30 day challenge of some sort (The diet is 30 days so that sort of counts right?  Also, I'm doing a 30 day easy squat challenge which can be found here to make sure I hit this one.  It's a twofer)

23. Get to my goal weight (this will take more time than just the diet but I'm hoping for a good jumpstart)

25. Get Body/Fat % to within Fitness Range (Same as above)

Basically, I'm sort of banking on completing 7 more goals this month alone.  Not bad considering I need to do 3 a month to finish and I'm already at 8 now just barely a month in.
