Today is the 40th day of my 90-day challenge. What's amazing is that the more I support good habits, the greater the momentum gets. Every day, it gets easier to make green juice or a superfood smoothie instead of filling up on starches, grains and fats. Every day it gets easier to go straight to the gym, the stairs or the beach after work instead of heading home to do more sitting on my ass.
As I discussed in a previous post, whatever we feed grows. If we continue to feed habits that we know are bad for us, it becomes harder and harder to break away from them. The same goes for the opposite. The more we feed our good habits, the easier it becomes to continue these good habits and the bad ones begin to fall away.
While I still have a lot of work to do, I'd like to make a list of the positive habits I'm forming right now:
1. Eating a whole, plant-based diet every day that is free of processed grains, chemicals, bad fats, and overly cooked food.
2. Taking the time out of every day to make one green juice to clean out my body, nourish my cells and lose weight.
3. Reducing the amount of cooked food I eat to be no more than 10% of my diet.
4. Spending three days a week at the gym in strength training to increase muscle mass, protect my infrastructure and bone health, and burn unneeded fat.
5. Spending 30 or 40 minutes, three days a week on interval/cardio training to increase my metabolism, strengthen my lungs and heart, and create stamina and endurance.
6. Creating a more positive image of myself in my mind to attain my goals and continue to be good to myself.
I could probably list more, but these are the main part of my focus. I'm so grateful to be where I am now and look forward to a healthier, happier me. By healthy!
