30 Day Challenge: Its About Self Care & Working on You

5 years ago I was close to 50lbs overweight and in constant pain. Standing in an airport looking at a woman who had to be 20+ years older who looked fit, healthy and happy I realized I needed to change. I had done diet pills, shakes, frozen meals but I needed to learn what I was doing wrong. I soon learned it was the not the amount of food or calories it was WHAT I was eating. GMO wheat that makes your fat cells fatter? Huh even IF it wasn’t true, when I read how they make GMO food I choice not to eat that. Study after study showed lab rats with cancerous tumors. SO ummmm that was a no brainier to cut out as rates of cancer skyrocket?

So I started to eat more organic foods, and GMO free and I felt better my family felt better and we all started to lose weight. Then I learned about intermittent fasting. When I realize that we have been fasting since we were hunters and gatherers, AND I can save money on my groceries bills AND loss weight that was a WIN WIN WIN, I started stretching using a massage roller.? Adding just 10 minutes in the morning reduced that pain drastically.? I learned about low impact but high intensity resistance, core and balance training. With my back knee and shoulder injury I was still able to workout. Keep in mind I truly think 80% is food and 20% is exercise.

Its All About Self Care and Working on You

In the last year I realize that what I was doing through the years was working on me a little bit each day. That self care was important to get healthier. Its not about losing lbs, that’s a diet brain and not sustainable. What I realized was working on me daily made people around me better too.? I could deal with things better if I’m not in pain and have a clearer head. This is changing your mindset and life to a healthier lifestyle.

So this is my morning routine and my health goals for December and working on making these good habits. I teach others how to add self care into their lives, and help them keep accountable. Stress, anxiety, pain happen when we aren’t taking care of us. As we age we gain weight and get sick if we don’t take care of ourselves. We need to stop the cycle, change the mindset and focus on making good habits. When you do, you will lose weight, become leaner and stronger and a healthier you. To me it is about aging in the best shape I can be, my body, my head and my soul.
