Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

Cutting Out the Sweetness

It's been almost 2 weeks and I haven't eaten any delectable desserts.  I wish that I could say that cutting them out was making me feel fantastic and giving me energy I never knew I had, but it's just not.  I feel sluggish, tired, and irritable.

I remember when I first participated in p90x, Tony Horton explained that I would feel this way in the first 30 days.  The days when I was cutting out the crap that was killing my body.  These days were supposed to be hard, supposed to help my body get used to using the good foods to fuel my body.  I don't remember feeling that way before,  but I sure feel this way now.

Although I'm not engaged in p90x this time, there is no question as to the Calorie requirements that my activities require.  Getting through the next 3 weeks will be a challenge.  A challenge that I'm hoping will be a great jump start to a new way of respecting and collaborating with my food to improve my health.
