My 30 Day Challenge

In the spirit of spring cleaning and my ongoing mandate to feel great, I am beginning my own 30 day challenge. My challenge is actually a diet clean-up challenge. I am eliminating as many ‘bad’ foods as I can and sticking to a higher protein diet and overall healtheir way of eating. No more-- eating out with my beau, late night snacks, and Ben&Jerry's while watching a flick. No more-- school lunches, stops for McD's breakfast, or Starbucks coffee.


This whole 30-day challenge came to me as an idea inspired by my friends at the gym who are trying thier own 30-day challenge. Their challenge has you eliminate all processed foods, gluten, sugar, dairy, alcohol and caffeine from your diet. It sounds great but who am I kidding? That’s all the good stuff plus it feels like a lot of work. So, I will attempt to challenge myself in my own way-- just eating better.

In thirty days, I plan to eat healthier and lose 10lbs just in time for a great summer. Today, I’m living it up and eating ‘Mi Ranchito’ leftovers but tomorrow my challenge begins. Stay tuned as I start this journey…
Week 1 starts tomorrow—Bring it on!

Life isn't always simple....

All sorts of choices confront us in our everyday existence - from the big life changes, to the small and mundane ones. These past few weeks have been full of decisions and because of that I have fallen off of the blogging bandwagon and you have missed out on ‘mi vida loca’, for that I apologize…

Often the 'right choice' in a situation isn't clear at all, and we as people can struggle to find our way through the complexity of it all. I have somehow allowed myself to get caught up in this blunder of complexity and transformed it into stress. Through pros and cons of my decisions I have made myself miserable. Woooosahhhhh.

All of the self-inflicted chaos could end by just not doing a darn thing….but even deciding to do nothing is a choice, even if it's one that doesn't require much action it can still bring on the anxiety. In the end, I guess all I can do is give it to GOD and hope that the decisions I make are the right ones for me. 

Thanks blog peeps, for listening to my obnoxius whines of self-pitty ...  :-)
