Whether it be to lose weight, fit into a certain pair of pants, or cinch my belt tighter, there has always been some form of motive for my health and fitness regimen. Doing Whole 30 has really opened my eyes as to how to consider my fitness and my health. I can honestly say that for the first time, I'm doing this for the right reasons.
There is a reason diets don't work - because we do them for a given amount of time and then we get sick of them. We throw in the towel and we gorge on everything we've been denying ourselves for so long. They are not meant to last forever. They are not lifestyle changes.
Whole 30 is a lifestyle change. It has opened my eyes to things that I can control within my body. There are foods I can avoid so that I have more energy, rest more easily, and feel better about myself. I can stop eating whatever I want whenever I want and start thinking about what I'm putting in my mouth. I'm looking at food as fuel as opposed to reward. I can't wait to share all the things I've learned when my 30 days are up. I'm already on day 18 and I can feel differences in so many areas of my life - not just the waistband.
Exercise and diet are just part of a healthy lifestyle.
Focus on mental, emotional, and physical health.
Make sure to stop back by on Monday to see my 3rd week recap of Whole 30; I can't wait to share with you the details of this last week!
