Absolute Best Challenge Day 30

Yummy.  Avocados are high in protein and high in essential fatty oils.  A double whammy to kick start your metabolic engine.  Sometimes, I eat it for breakfast along with some low fat cottage cheese.

Day 30!  We skipped day 29 because I didn't have internet access so I couldn't post my blog :(
Oh well, there was a yesterday, however, that was in the past, who knows if tomorrow will come so let's not worry about the future.  Today is the only day that counts so, embrace it because here it is NOW!

This week's focus will be on "The Plan;" the crux of which is Protein.  Your body needs it to build and repair bone, muscle, cartilage and blood.  Since you are incorporating a regular exercise program into your life, you will need plenty of it to maximize your results.  Your goal is to build a leaner, denser body so your metabolism revs at a higher rate to help burn excess fat.

A common myth when beginning a weight-loss plan is believing that dropping several pounds during the first couple of weeks equates to losing fat.  The truth is, the weight loss at the beginning of a "diet" comes from losing water.  Most people who choose to go on a "diet" are accustomed to eating processed and fast foods, which typically contain high levels of sodium.  When the body cannot easily flush the excess sodium through the normal filtration system of the kidneys and urination, it begins to accumulate in the blood.  The body then begins to retain excess water weight.

The sudden change to drinking more water, eating fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins, creates a cleansing effect in the system.  The kidneys begin to properly filter out the accumulated excess sodium and water in the blood system causing a rapid drop in the water weight.  Those 5 pounds you think you lost are probably NOT pounds of fat.

That being said, keep doing what you are doing. You have made a commitment to eat right, exercise regularly and meditate daily.  Those 3 core disciplines will create balance and equilibrium in your body.

Caring for yourself takes energy and commitment.  This fast-paced, competitive world can sometimes steer you off track. However, if you develop a foundation of wellness by cultivating a healthy body, mind, and spirit, you will always be able to get back on course.

The circumstances surrounding your choices may not always be perfect every day.  However, if you open your mind, those situations can become the catalyst for your creativity.  No matter what, if you have laid a strong foundation for yourself, you will maintain integrity with your wellness plan. No matter what level of health you are in right now, you have made the choice to become the most healthy version of yourself at this particular moment. And, NOW, is the only moment that counts.
