Many may wonder...why? Why do I care about living a healthy life style? Why do I work out so much? Why am I even doing the Whole30? Well, I have several answers I can share...
First, I am a strong believer that this is the only body God is giving us, and we should take care of it. My body is my temple. Second, obesity runs in my family. Therefore I am very self conscience about falling into the health issues that some of my family members face. I am determined to break the cycle. Third, I want to be a good example for my children, students, and everyone.
Many of you already know, I am a creature of habit, and each day I weigh in with Nurse Erica. Now, I KNOW I am not supposed to weigh daily, but I really can't help it. I find that it helps to keep me in check. In doing this, I am able to closely monitor any weight gain...which has brought me to doing the Whole30.
January is always a hard month for me. I want to eat everything in sight. And, those snow days did not help one bit. I know...excuses, excuses. So, after much research and thought, I decided the Whole30 was what I needed. I begin this challenge Tuesday, February 16th. I did not read the recommended book that tells all the about the "Why" we shouldn't eat certain foods. I just trusted that this program did their research and knew what they were talking about.
I will openly share that as I begin this program, I weigh...158.9. It's the most I have weighed in over two years. And, it is not okay. So my quest begins, full speed ahead!
