100 DAYS AND COUNTING....

100 DAYS AND COUNTING…….

One Hundred Days ago I made that simple commitment “No salt, no sugar, no junk, YEAH ME!!! I decided to post my results on FACEBOOK every night as my own motivation…not to brag or boast. I simply wanted to see if I could make a commitment and stick to it!! Now it hasn’t been that I haven’t tried before, spent many years trying, maybe that has been the problem all alone. This time I would just DECIDE and see if I could stick to my own
decision. One of my slogans is “Don’t try, just decide.”

The interesting piece about the commitment is that it had nothing to do with weight loss, though I need to lose. It was a commitment to decide to stop allowing salt, sugar, and junk in my body, and it has worked..or rather I worked it, haha. You see, it’s up to me to make it happen, no one can do this for me, not even God..He gives the strength, but I have to do the work. Faith, without works is dead, being alone. I know if I keep the junk out, the weight would have to come off! Just a good side effect of healthy living.

I really didn’t know what to expect, but after a week, I realized hey I can do this…you see it’s about doing, not wishing and hoping and praying and….you get the point, my decisions, and mine alone. "Be ye doers, be ye doers....

My greatest happiness is in the reality that I don’t have to eat things I see, I can see it and say “I don’t want that”. I’ve even baked 3 cakes without eating a bite…not even icing, no fried foods and no junk at all. It has been an amazing ride, one I plan to ride for the rest of my life.

After my first month, I couldn’t turn back, how could I go back..so I continued and it got easier. I’m most proud that though I haven’t lost a huge amount of weight, I’m eating healthy…no junk…the weight will come off in time…it won’t have a choice. But for now I thank God for giving the strength to keep my commitment to myself!

I need to tweak a few things for the next 100 days.
1) Get to bed on time!!! I sleep really well (thank God), but I have a tendency to stay up way too late..this must stop. Good health oftens start with good sleep, I need to get in bed on time, giving my body a chance to do what it needs to do to keep me running top speed.
2) Exercise…to add more activity is a must…move move move!!!
3) Continue to manage my emotions. I always say “if you don’t manage your emotions, your emotions will manage you”! I’ve found this to be true! Sometimes I can be too emotional and I have to keep this in check. You see healthy living isn’t just about food and drink and exercise, its about the mind, your psychic make up and a whole lot of other stuff. Remember: It’s usually all between your ears….. Follow me on my blog and notes, and pray with me as I go. Thanking you in advance. My prayer for each reader today is: Be blessed.. Don’t live life in distress..just let go let God, He’ll work things out for you!
Blessings!
