Thanks to everyone for an incredible first day! Kelvin hooked us up with a series of shots throughout the remodel. It’s come a LONG way! We still have a few more things to finish up. We appreciate your patience and flexibility over the last few weeks. Now, we celebrate!

Whole30 Day 2: The Dunk Truck will be here today from 3-7PM for complete body composition testing. If you want to get on the schedule, sign up here. Dunks are $45 and will take about 10 minutes. There are places to change in the truck. Cash & check preferred, but cards are excepted.

Be sure you pay into the pot in order to be eligible for the prizes in at the end of the challenge.

From Whole9Life: There is a term in the health-behavior-change world called self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is your belief in your ability to succeed in specific situations. To put it plainly, in order to complete all 30 days of your Whole30 with no slips or off-plan choices, you need to believe that you can complete all 30 days of your Whole30.

Take a minute today to take stock of yourself. Do you feel like you currently have the self-efficacy you need to be successful in your Whole30?

Commit to your goals on paper. Just telling ourselves, whether out loud or quietly in our heads, that we’re going to change isn’t enough. You have to write down your goal. (Did you skip this step on Day 0? If so, there’s still time!)
Get support. There will be times when you falter, almost invariably. Who will you turn to when you need encouragement? If you don’t have a good answer to this, you need to think it through. Make the commitment to your support group, and ask them to help you when you hit rough spots.
Think through your motivation. Why are you disciplined enough to do something? Because you have the right motivation. Why are you doing this? What will keep you going when you forget your reasons? Public commitment is a big motivator, of course, but you should have internal ones, too.
Realize the obstacles. Your Whole30 will be littered with obstacles. And often, it’s these obstacles that tempt us to quit. Don’t be caught off-guard. Instead, think it through, and anticipate your obstacles. Then make a plan for what you’ll do when you face them.
Track your progress. Tracking your progress (like with the personal evaluations we’ll give you in later days) increases your chances of success. A daily journal or log can help you succeed by reminding you to be consistent. Tracking your progress keeps you aware of what you’re actually doing. It motivates you, because you want to write good things in that log. And it helps keep you accountable before the people you’ve made a commitment to.
Having accountability. Accountability is the second half of the all-important public commitment. Report your progress to your support group regularly, whether you fail or succeed. (You’ll do that here, too, every day you click the “I did it!” link.)
Know your triggers. Every bad habit or craving has at least one trigger — an event that immediately precedes the habit. Write your triggers down, and when the triggers happen, be prepared with an alternate action. The better you know your triggers, the easier it will be to avoid temptation.
Do your reading. It’s important, for both self-efficacy and habit change, to invest yourself in the change you are making–before, during, and after. Do your research in blogs, magazines, books, and forums to discover strategies for success, potential obstacles, and good tools to help keep you motivated and believing in yourself.
