Good Health is Self Love
Ah my mantra, I have long thought that there had to be a better way of living this message.
I have struggled for so long to not only be physically healthy but to have a healthy opinion of myself. This year my most challenging goal is to stop knocking myself down so much, I actually need to give myself a chance at succeeding in being healthy both physically and mentally. All rolled into this is making better choices, focusing on exercise and eating right and hopefully trimming off a few pesky pounds that even my doctor agrees aren’t good for me to carry. It’s being comfortable in my own skin and being able to walk by a mirror without thinking a negative thought before a positive one. It’s being able to think a positive thought at all.
This one I fear will be the one that I fail at. Its been a 'resolution' of mine for a number of years but I never seem to quite make it. This year I started my January off by joining several friends in participating in the Whole30. I wanted to do something I had never tried before an I am very happy to say that even though I am not quite at the finish line I really did change my life in 30 days. I feel great and I am sleeping so much better. I have changed the way I think about food and how it fuels me.
When I was reading It Starts With Food I will admit that I was totally overwhelmed! I thought to myself that I would never be able to do it but here I am with less than a week to go and I haven't had a single mis-step or cheat and I am already planning on keeping it going with some minor tweaks (sorry, I just can't live without my Nutella any longer). There were 4 of us that started together and I am very happy to say that we are all finishing together as well!
One really positive side effect to this is that I discovered that I am a pretty good chef! (Pat myself on the back!!) I will share a few of my recipes with you at some point in February!
What kicked your year off on the right foot?
