One Month, Four Weeks, Thirty One Days

wMorning_walkers_beach

We are approaching the completion of one month of healthier living.  Four weeks of sensible choices.  Thirty one days of eating with intent, walking with a purpose.  How's that working out you ask?   I would have to answer okay.  Not great.  Not wonderful.  Not exciting.  But okay.

Do I feel better?  Yes.  Definitely better.

Have I lost weight?  Yes.  Not a lot but the wardrobe has expanded as the waistline slowly shrinks.

Is it easy?  No.

Do I get frustrated?  Yes.

I have to keep reminding myself that this is a life style change.  A marathon of living better not a three week sprint with a hot fudge sundae waiting at the finish line.

It is about intention.   And choice.

As January draws to a close and February looms on the horizon with its twenty nine days of unique challenges, I choose to continue.

I choose to be intentional about the food I eat.

I choose to be healthier.

(Check back at the end of February to see if my resolve holds up under pressure.)

Tim - You don't know how many times that word is repeated in my head every day! Maybe if I'm intentional about repeating it I'll live it better.

Amy - Thanks for the support.
