Reasons I love this blog:
1. Keeping myself accountable - during my 9 blog-devoted days of eating only for health, this blog and my readers were always on my mind. I didn't want to have to type out that I had eaten a chocolate molten cake at the end of the day, so I wouldn't eat one.
2. Inspiring others - definitely the reward aspect of keeping this blog. I know that I like to try new or difficult things with other people who are trying the same new or difficult things. Support feels good and reminds you that your not crazy for trying something.
3. I like to write
Reasons I've failed at this blog so far:
1. I hate to write
2. I had one too-busy-to-write day, and just like a good workout schedule, if you miss on day the next thing you know it's been 2 weeks since!
3. I cheated big time and didn't want to fess up to myself or you.
Somewhere within the last 2 weeks, I've lost myf fire to wash, peel, chop, and cook. I've gotten so lazy with it that I've convinced myself to make way too many non-health promoting food choices each day. Can I just say that I feel horrible...physically bad. I'm not going to lie, I have two things of fresh strawberries in the fridge that Alan bought last weekend that I still haven't touched--probably moldy by now. Why? Because I just have't felt like it.
I for one think that is completely unacceptable! Two cartons of strawberries? Seriously, I couldn't just run some water over the things? I do think that this is a stage that probably everyone would go through when starting this type of "diet". It's A LOT of work and thought that I've never had to consider on a daily basis. But I want to do it so badly! So, I am going to set a challenge for myself starting tomorrow (or maybe Wednesday...not sure if I have the resources to start tomorrow) that from that point forward, I will stick to my healthy food choices and blog posts daily for 2 full weeks. I challenge you to do it with me! Tomorrow, make a nice list of fresh produce to buy at the store, go have a successful shopping trip, I'll do the same, and by Wednesday we will all be ready to dominate the next two weeks.
I think we can do it! Let me know if you're going to take the challenge!
