Hi everyone,
As my blog begins and evolves, I’d like to share a mix of my everyday menu’s, workouts and a 'theme' for the day. Today’s topic is about commitment (might as well start with a big one). The commitment I’m addressing is the commitment you make to eating clean (preparing and eating unprocessed foods) and to doing a workout of some kind most everyday (then it becomes habit).
You might say "but, I work fulltime", or "the kids are off school", or "I’m just too tired". Here are some questions you might want to ask yourself: "Is making a commitment to my job, my spouse, my kids and my friends more important than me?" Why am I on the bottom of this list? Do you want more energy (for all the before mentioned reasons)? Do you want better long term health?
If so, then making a commitment to you, to your eating and exercise, should be a top priority! We will pursue many ideas in future blogs about positive eating choices, and different directions for workout ideas.
Start with baby steps and let’s try them together.
