Down 30

Yesterday marked 60 days on our new health journey

and I'm down 30 pounds.

I used to celebrate every pound lost with a dance,

now I stop and think "how in the hell did I get where I was?".

I keep wanting to share this new chapter in my life

in hopes of saving the world

from not only weight issues, but health issues.

Tell them that in the beginning it is not easy,

but if you commit, you will never want to go back.

I saw this on FB this morning.

Robin and I laugh about this everytime we go grocery shopping now.

We first hit organic produce which is the front right side.

Go to the back for our grass fed, organic meats.

Then grab a coconut milk, almond milk and yogurt from the back left.

The only time we visit the middle is for coffee

(can't quit that stuff).

Hopefully I'll do a post this week on what consistutes

"healthy foods".

It's not just the weight loss from eating

70% veggies

20% meats

5% nuts

5% dairy

it's how much better we feel.

Medically speaking we are the epitome of health.

I still have a few pounds to drop

and we'd like to start a more regimented workout routine,

but all in all we are delightfully healthy and happy.

I know some folks out there say

"I'm not overweight, I can eat whatever I want".

I'd like that person to tell me that they have no health issues.

I know many folks who are a normal weight and they have

high blood pressure,

high cholesterol,

etc.

Eating healthy applies to everyone.

Just can't preach it enough.

So stay tuned this week while I chat about

why it's so important to stay clear of processed foods

and eat only the good stuff.

After all, hasn't your body been really good to you?

Do something nice for it.

you are 100% correct - and you are also demonstrating how it can become a habit (not just a blip in the radar)to become a healthier you...

Congratulations! So happy for you! I am working on my own exercise regimen. I respond well to challenges I set myself, so have signed up for the San Francisco MS Walk. I'm walking every day to prepare, and drinking much more water, etc. Thanks for sharing, Izzy :)
