I have decided to change the blog title from "Life's Challenges" to the above. It's a much more positive title. (The blog description: Unknown Author).
I chose, "Perseverance ~ Determination ~ Commitment" because that's how I feel this time around. I am extremely grateful to God for putting me on the right track again.
My reasons are not for vanity anymore, it truly is about health. Losing weight has helped me physically. I don't think I would be able to walk the distance I've been walking if I hadn't started eating healthier, cutting out sweets, and cutting "down" on white carbs.
I don't know how much I've lost, in the last 87 days, but I do feel a difference in my body - overall. The tracking challenge has been a Godsend.
I didn't start out restricting myself of anything, I just promised myself that I would commit to tracking what I ate for 100 days, "no matter what". Whether I'm on track or off, and it was this new attitude that helped free me of that feeling of restriction and deprivation that comes with dieting. Once I started making my daily total, public, it made me think twice before overeating.
I posted before how I plan to continue in phases, phase 1, first 100 days, phase 2, second 100 days, etc., but I decided to continue indefinitely, as part of my new healthier lifestyle.
In other news:
I plan to workout and walk today. Catch up with some house chores that I didn't finish yesterday. So, I will post again later, as the day progresses:)
