It makes me think of the word "fad" which is fleeting and boom it is gone. I've tried diets. It's never worked. Well, I'm sure it would have worked if I stuck to it. I have cleansed a few times which shocked my body and made me extremely angry.
I'll be honest. I love food. Who doesn't? I love to snack, particularly on Cheez-Itz, sunflower seeds, and popcorn. I am a salty gal. Food is comfort. I mean that is our society. Hey it's Bob's birthday? Let's go to dinner and get drinks! Hey, Susan is in town? Let's grab lunch and catch up! People gather around food. It's just what you do and it's perfect. I am not arguing that at all.
With that being said, I am now engaged to the love of my life Matt and I am so incredibly happy. To be honest, that was the push I needed. Like anyone would, I want to look amazing, feel healthy, and be in shape for the wedding. But now I am realizing I want this to be more then just for the wedding. I want to be healthy. Being healthy leads to feeling and looking good which BOOM leads to being happy. I want to be happier about myself. And I will.
Therefore......I have begun the Whole30 program and I will be starting the Insanity workout this weekend with the fiancee. I began the Whole30 program on July 11th and today is Day 8. It's been rough. I miss soda. I miss steamed milk in my latte's. I miss salty snacks. But I dig it. Matt and I have made a bunch of healthy dinners, following recipes, made our own broths, vinaigrettes, and I roasted an entire chicken! So not only are we eating healthy, I am learning some great cooking skills! So at Day 8, I am still feeling motivated. I am going to make it to Day 30 and fist pump like there is no tomorrow. Once I am done with this program, both Matt and I want to stick to it. With some moderations....I need some alcohol in my life every once in a while.
Thanks for the motivation.
