My goal for the next 30 days is to get to the root of my on-again, off-again health kicks and truly adopt a healthy, realistic lifestyle that I can maintain for the rest of my life. I don't exactly have all the details for how the next 30 days will go but I will be sharing my journey with you every step of the way.

Intro
I wish I could say I had a good reason for eating ice cream and cheese-covered burritos till I'm almost sickly stuffed, but I don't. I actually know quite a bit in terms of health and what it takes to be "healthy" but I just don't apply it. I'm actually a fitness trainer...health should be my life. I preach about the importance of daily exercise and a balanced, clean diet but I've yet to apply it to my own life. Don't get me wrong, I have week-long stints where I'm as healthy as can be but unfortunetly my health streaks are always short lived.

Today is my first day of a 40 day change. I managed to eat a late breakfast of 80% salad, no dressing and 20% cooked pumpkin with seeds. After my morning thyroid support I felt an uneasy stomach and at Indian Market went to Starbucks and ordered a green tea, no sweetener. Water is my favorite and bought some of that as well. Before coming home ordered Chamomile tea. At home nearly 4 p.m. I cooked 80% veggies from farmers market and 20% sardine. Around 7 felt a little hunger and grabbed 5 almonds, too salty. At 8;30 had a coconut milk bar. Drank more water and was glad it was late so I would not be tempted.
ReplyDeleteAm trying to follow The Body Ecology Diet which is to help heal ones digestion. My energy is down and I have one day under my belt and 39 to go. I had to do a lot of praying and self talk and remember I made a promise to uphold my part.
My little tidpit for the day was thinking about paper mache and kept realized how flour products could be sticky "glue-like" consistency in my intestines that gum it up. Sugar and flour are the most damaging to the colon. Sugar is not a biggy for me but chocolate is.
Everybody is losing weight except me so I am taking a different approach. Basically my meals will consist of 20% acid-forming foods and 80% alkaline-forming foods while following the food combinations rules that prevent me from feeling bloated and uncomfortable. Day two awaits.
