I have always prided myself on my strength of will and self-discipline. These are characteristics I developed in adult-hood and continually try to improve on.
I spent last week in New York and took in all the NY delicacies that I miss living in Virginia. By day two I felt very unhealthy, but the voices in my head told me to continue to satiate my taste buds. Those damn VOICES!!!! To make matters worst, I went the entire week without exercise for the first time in about a year. I came back from New York feeling atrocious. As a result, I have presented myself a challenge. Over the next 30 days I will harness my will-power to eat a totally “whole food” healthy diet. This is not a diet to loose weight; this is more of a cleansing, an exfoliation of the body and soul.
I am interested to see how a diet of completely whole foods will affect me. I hope to see improvement in overall health, mental focus and energy. I am typically a healthy eater, but like most Americans my diet contains a good sum of processed foods. I hope the elimination of these processed foods will yield a conspicuous result.
BTW- by “whole foods” I do not mean the store.
