Questions from a Newbie

Hello everyone,

I am starting my 30 day challenge tomorrow, and I just got home from the store with my week 1 supplies. I am now panicked as I realized that I don't even know where to begin. I have the recipes for the dishes in the book, but I have no idea what to do. Do I just start by eating some fruit for breakfast and packing some prepared foods for myself when I go to work?

I don't want to come across as ignorant on this, but I guess I am. I have not been the world's healthiest eater, and it is now catching up with me. I need to make this change, and I don't want to screw it up. I really want to commit to this 30-day challenge. I welcome any advice you all have. Thank you in advance.

First of, you can't "screw it up".

You say you have the recipes in the book. Make them.

What you eat for breakfast is up to you. If you want raw lasagna, pizza, burgers, or fruit or cut up veggies and dip or salad, it's up to you.

If you want to pack something for lunch, it's up to you.

Just remember ~ keep it simple and play with your food.

btw ~ it would help if you'd tell us what appliances you have to give more assistance.

You might also peruse the other threads here and the blogs to find out what others are doing.

Enjoy!

Thanks Revvell,

I have a food process, blender, and I am borrowing my mother-in-law's Vitamix. I am looking into the dehydrators, but I wanted to get my bearings first.

I guess I got too caught up in the "first week's" supplies. I tend to get very literal when I am not sure what to do.

Thanks for your quick reply. :)

Have a green smoothie for breakfast and add some seeds to it and it will keep you going for hours.
