I hope you are starting to see an exercise and healthy eating habit form within yourself. I hope this routine starts speaking to the rest of your household so they will join you on this lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise.
Day 3 went a little rough for me. The lack of carbs and sugars was really getting to me, I was so cranky I could kick my own rear! But I did not give in I kept on with eating what I was supposed to. I feel MUCH better this morning! You know what is exciting about day 4?!?!?! No fiber drink! The probiotic pill portion of the cleanse begins today, I still have 3 more fiber drinks on days 8-10 but at least I get a little break for now ;)
I had a wonderful conversation with a lady in my spin class this morning. Stories like hers really speak to me! She is in her 50's and is diabetic. She has decided she does not want to be diabetic and wants to live a long and healthy life so that one day she can see her son win that Tony Award. She is not looking for a quick fix, diet pill or surgery. She wants to do this by exercising and changing her eating habits to make better choices. This morning was her first spin class not only did she get up early to be there at 5:45 but she made it through the whole class! That is determination and motivation, going to your very first spin class at 5:45am and sticking it out the whole class! If only more people had her motivation, determination, and drive!(I gave her the link to my blog for some encouragement and accountability I hope she does not mind that I have shared her story but I wanted you all to see that it is you who has to make the decision to change) Everyone always wants an easy way out or they want to blame fast food or their parents/genetics for their poor health, weight, and poor food choices when in reality it is YOU and only YOU who can decide to life and stick to a healthy fit life. I lost 25lbs 5 years ago strictly by learning how to eat clean and healthy and exercise, now look at me I am a fitness instructor and strive to be motivation for others to do the same thing. No you can't beat genetics but if you eat clean and healthy, workout, and maintain a healthy weight(meaning not weighing to much OR to little) then the odds are in your court you will be less likely to get heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc.
If you know anyone who is struggling with living a healthy fit life or just doesn't know where to start please share the link to my blog with them. No I am not a professional but I am product of hard work and a healthy fit life, we all stray but I am back on the path and will be staying here!
Today I leave you with this quote: "What we eat is a matter of life and death. Food is who we are." Scott Jurek, Runners World Magazine
Stay fit my friends!
