Let’s just get the nasty out of the way first. I am 60. I don’t feel 60. I don’t look 60. But that’s because I work at it. As I embark on another New Years Eve, I am filled with apprehension for what is ahead. I want to be even younger next year. I want to be fitter than I ever have. But mostly I want to be healthy. I have learned that without your health you have NOTHING. Think Steve Jobs. Think Paul Allen. Your health is everything. This heath journey thing is different for everyone. I feel better when I shun certain foods. How did I find this out? By doing a Whole 30. Dairy is out for me. So is gluten. And guess what friends. I am OK with this. I would rather feel good, perform well, look good and think clearly than eat cookies and pizza. So on January 1, 2019 I do another Whole 30 #januarywhole30. Join me if you wish. I will post notes and thoughts here for the next 30 days.
I have cleaned out the pantry. I have gone shopping for healthy foods. I started my Bullet Journal entries. I am ready. Now all I have to do is follow the rules and breath deeply. Yoga everyday will help. My Whole 30 will be a bit different from Boyfriend’s (my husband’s nickname). I will add a Vespa/OFM twist. I plan to keep it low carb/high fat. Whole 30 allows potatoes – I will shun them in the name of fat optimization.
I warn my friends and family ahead of time. I will be CRANKY for the first week. I will nap. I will yell. I will pout. But by day 7 I will be a clear thinking happy girl.
So join me, follow me, check in and see how it’s going. Let’s encourage each other. Let’s help each other. Let’s all be younger next year.
Give Me Health
