Mind Over Matter

Feeling upbeat and thrilled about my clean bill of health, my trainer and I decided to kick things up a notch to see if I can improve my results for the next month. I agreed with Sam about making my workouts more challenging and changing my diet just a bit. For the next month I intend to cut out or drastically reduce the amount of refined sugar I take in and this means me eliminating my morning Coca Cola. I'm also avoiding food high in starch to help burn more fat. I've been a junk food addict for way too long and the cycle must be broken now. My plan is to retrain my taste buds to enjoy healthier food choices and break the cycle once and for all. I've got to do this for me and my health. My goal is to be healthy and fit. I have my doctor's blessing and that is good enough for me. I am feeling so alive and energized. I no longer suffer from insomnia and that makes a tremendous difference. I can walk from room to room without losing my breath and only four months ago that would have made me feel like dying. One thing I know for sure is that what I'm doing is working. I am at the stage where I'm beginning to love myself again and that is huge for me. I am enjoying being challenged more by my trainer in fact I have a feeling that I'll thrive. I've been long overdue for a positive and meaningful challenge in my life. I have the same enthusiasm about this as I did boarding school. Feeling great and being healthy is worth the effort and hard work. I believe that Friday's results at the doctor's office is sufficient proof.  Life is so good. Be well and blessed.
