Day 26 on the Whole30 - DONE!

Each day on the Whole30 gets easier than the day before especially when I think about how much better I've been sleeping, feeling, eating and accomplishing.   

Anyhow, It's been awhile since I felt like I was waking-up to chase my dreams. Being on the Whole30 has reignited a motivational spark to dream (set goals) again. I know they won't happen overnight, but if I'm diligent, patient and do a little something everyday I know dreams do come true.

Day 25 on the Whole30 - DONE!

Do you ever have any thoughts that don't serve you? 

'I'm not good enough.'

'I'm so stupid.'

'I'm fat.'

'I look hideous.'

'I can't.'

'What if people don't like me?'

'What if I fail?'

The list can go on and on...

When the voice in my head, aka my chatty doll, floods my brain with negative thoughts I redirect my attention to my breathe. Breathing grounds me. For some reason I feel like I'm mentally and physically exhaling negativity and inhaling positivity. Whether it takes 3 or 30 deep breathes I feel like the new oxygen cleanses my mind and body bringing in thoughts that serve me, not destroy me.

'I'm good enough.'

'I'm smart.'

'I can.'

'I'm sexy.'

'I love myself.'

'Failing means I'm trying.'

'I'm strong.'

This list can go on and on too, but at least thoughts like these make me stronger...

Day 24 of the Whole30 - DONE!

Everyday I get through a day on the Whole30 I realize I'm becoming more of the person I want to be... 

- I have more energy. 

- I'm stronger mentally & physically.

- I'm thinking clearer.

- I have more confidence.

- For the first time ever I have a healthy relationship with food.

- I'm not working out to burn calories, maintain or loose weight...Instead, I'm having fun & doing things outside my confront zone as I work-out... 

- I'm not fat-phobic.

- I'm really starting to love myself because I know I'm worth it.

I used to 'just get through the day', but now I'm growing & thriving everyday and it's because I'm drinking more water, getting more sleep, eating cleaner and CrossFiting!!!
