A new lifestyle it is!

Today is the 5th day off of Whole30.  Truth?  I miss the discipline of it.  I am not a fan of how the non Whole30 foods make my stomach feel and I have had headaches.  A couple of times I have deviated quite a ways off the Whole30 track - like having pizza.  Most of the time its just little stuff - like we smoked some meat that had a rub on it, the rub had sugar in it.  I had store bought mayo last night - it so was not enjoyable.  Here is my dilemma that I am about to just get over.  I hate feeling like I am making it hard for others when we have family meals because my food is different or I have different needs/preferences.  I simply need to learn to stick to my guns and eat the way that I choose to eat!  I need to be prepared at every juncture.  I could use this dilemma as an excuse to not continue this life style but I am here to tell you - you just don't feel as good!  I like feeling good.  I also like the weight coming off rather effortlessly.  This is my new lifestyle.  I will do my best to perfect it.  To live it!

There are a few other things I need to focus on as I begin to live and expand this new lifestyle.  Water intake, weight bearing exercise, I want to get back into jogging/running regularly, getting enough sleep, being prepared, planning ahead and just overall being organized about life.  This seems like a lot, I know.  But I have never been more ready and more confident that I will be able to implement all these changes over time and change my life even more for the positive.  Inevitably these positive changes will affect my family and others!  Come to think about it, the positive affect on my family should out weigh any negative affects....like feeling like I am inconveniencing them to make sure we have food that I will eat.

Going forward I want to continue to blog too.  But I am not sure what I want to blog about.  I was to continue to keep you involved in this lifestyle change.  But that's not what I am all about.  I think I need to share more.  I had to create a webpage for myself for a class I am taking.  I think I will try to incorporate the use of it too.  I am thinking about sharing recipes.  I will be in prayer over it - I really want God to use this as a way to glorify Him.  He has blessed me abundantly.  I haven't deserved it, but that's just how God is.  Even better, He will do the same for any one of his children.  Believe it!  It's true!

That's all for today friends!

Love ya!
