What challenges you?

Hey Everyone,

I hope your day was as progressive as mine!  I got a bunch of cleaning and laundry done.  I reorganized our kitchen cabinets and cleaned the oven and stove…. Then tonight I had dart league.  It is actually pretty fun, this is my first year doing it.  The thing is, dart league is at a bar.  Yeah, I usually eat their Chicken Strip Melt and drink a FEW beers.  It was tough but I didn’t have the sandwich or the beers!  I drank water and brought one of my nutrition bars with me. 

One thing, I forgot to mention that on the RESET Program you have to drink a lot of water.  Which I already do, water is really the only thing that I like to drink and that’s what I reach for when I am thirsty.  Today, I did need a little boost and so I grab one of USANA’s REV3 Energy Drinks.  This drink is natural and has all natural sugars.  I could never drink those other energy drinks because all the sugar in them upset my stomach.  REV3 has a gradual increase and decrease of energy unlike the others that have the spike and then the crash. 

Changing your lifestyle with diets, or different ways can be difficult.  I think my biggest challenge is myself.  One of my favorite quotes is “I need to get out of my own way,” Lynn Allen-Johnson.  This is so true!  I feel I make excuses, and do things because others will never know.  Well who is it hurting………me.  So why do I do it?  It just makes me even more unhappy.  Here is an example: I feel that if I didn’t live in South Dakota it would be easier for me to lose weight, and be healthy.  If I lived in a warmer climate, I could run outside, hike, or whatever.  I don’t like running around in circles.  I NEED to quit making excuses.  HELP! What do YOU do that helps you beat and overcome those challenges in your life?

Challenge yourself…. Get up 15 minutes earlier and eat breakfast. Okay not just cereal, but think about protein.  Eggs are a great way to get your protein in the morning.  Having protein in the morning helps jump start and boost your metabolism!  This is one thing I never forget!

Well I am off to bed.  I get to sub and ref tomorrow.

Take Care,

Kyla

PS Did anyone try out the link for the RESET Program?  If so, did it work?
