My focus regarding health is dramatically different now. It's not about a diet or a program. It's not about deprivation and forbidden foods. It's not about guilt-induced, self-imposed rules and it's not about rewards for "being good." It's a lifestyle. It's about being informed and making conscious choices about what I put in my body. It's about taking the time to prepare and enjoy my food, instead of eating the leftovers on the kids' lunch plates before loading them into the dishwasher and calling it "lunch." It's about eating when I'm hungry and stopping before I'm full. It's about finding a form of movement (a.k.a. exercise) that I enjoy and actually want to do.
I think the defining moment for me was two part... a) I realized my life depended upon making changes and, b) I realized I was worth the changes. YOU ARE WORTH IT TOO!! You may not be facing a life threatening illness, but still, the quality of your life may depend on you making some positive lifestyle changes.
What I'm going to share with you is a way of life - a whole new mindset. You may be surprised to find that not all the steps I recommend are directly related to food and exercise. My hope is that you will incorporate into your life some of the "first step" principles I will be presenting to help you on your journey to excellent health. My hope is also that you will find joy in that journey.
Until next time...
Be well. Live well.
