Well, the new year is here and I have officially kicked myself in the ass! I have committed to a 30 day challenge. My goals for this challenge are;
1. To drink at least 2 litres of water a day.
2. To workout at least 4 days a week.
3. To greatly reduce my intake of "white" carbs.
Two out of three of my goals are keeping with my personal mantra for 2014. I no longer make negative resolutions. I have made positive ones instead; to get together with friends and family more often to keep in touch and to find the positive in every day. This challenge is a positive for me too. I am increasing the amount of healthy choices in my life. I am also making peace with my body the way it is today. I am no longer waiting for an improved body to love. If we don't love who we are now, how can se expect to be successful at making positive changes? As I think many of us have experienced throughout the years, we only set ourselves up for failure with this way of thinking.
Consider this quote from a recent Facebook post; "What if our only New Year's Resolution was to love ourselves more........" Be kind to yourself, focus on the positive, and when you need words of encouragement, turn to your various support groups.....family, friends, and your online communities.
Yours in Health,
Sheri
