Do you find that life is an endless opportunity to change? grow? learn? _______ fill in the blank with the word that fits you! I took a fitness challenge from a dear friend to work hard for 30 days. I still lived my life as normal, took Lincoln to appointments, worked every other weekend, etc., but I made a change in my food plan and I worked even harder than normal in the gym. I wasn't hungry, I ate real food and lots of it, I did not starve myself or do a crazy diet plan -- I simply took out junk and alcohol from my lifestyle, and I loved the changes I saw. I feel so good and energetic that I plan to do another 30 days. I believe a healthy lifestyle can include splurges like wine and ice cream, or whatever you love, I simply for the 30 days challenged myself to stay away from them -- if you know me, you know red wine was looking for me! Part of living is being realistic about what you can and can't do. Being healthy is not always easy, however, I feel so much better and it ignites the fire in me to continue the path. If it was easy everyone would do it right?!?

I have been challenged for a second time by someone new. I look forward to sharing those results with you! Who can you challenge, support, grow with or learn from? If you aren't changing constantly than you aren't living! I love seeing how I can change, both physically and mentally. I am stronger than I ever dreamed -- and the best part is, I did it for me because I believed I could!
