90 Days of Me

A few weeks ago, my friend Sandra had the following post on her Facebook page:

Today starts 90 days of me... hard workouts, clean eating, body pampering and new experiences.

 

Since I saw this post, I've been thinking a lot about it. After a lot of thinking, and way too much indulging, I am ready to start my 90 Days of Me. You see, I've thought about what I might be giving up if I went on a diet...which I really need to do. Sandra's post made me realize that my mindset was all wrong. Eating healthy is NOT giving anything up! It's choosing to put my body before food.

 

Another post that has convinced me to start 90 Days of Me was by my friend Lisa who posted a photo of a very fit woman with the words "No Food Tastes as Good as Being Fit Feels". SOOO true! I deserve to feel better than I do...and when I am feeling better physically, I will be performing better in the athletic endeavors I want to undertake.

 

So you might be wondering why I am choosing to start my 90 Days right before Thanksgiving. Well, in all honesty, it's because I want to prove it to myself that I can do this even with the holidays and all of the temptations that they bring. If I can handle it now, I will be able to change my lifestyle permanently.

 

Eating is only part of this change. Working out is going to become a priority during this "off season".  The running group starts their winter training session Dec. 15th. I will continue to run with them on Saturdays and Wednesdays. I will continue to meet with Clara on Mondays, but I will also do the work I'm supposed to be doing the rest of the week. I am going to come out of this offseason in better shape than I've been in a long time!

 

I know this is a running blog, but I hope you will indulge me in detailing my progress in the 90 Days of Me. If there's one thing I can promise, I will try to make it interesting!!!
