First off, I’m still goin’ strong on my low carb diet and I have no plans to quit! Yay!
However, I have some thoughts I want to share…………..
I gotta say I’m really sorry I’m not the perfect example of health ALL THE TIME!! I really really strive to live a healthy lifestyle, but I still really struggle with finding my equilibrium. It is tough!
I do know a few people who seem to eat well all the time and exercise insane amounts of hours every week! They make it look effortless. I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. I am very much human and it is VERY hard for me to eat well and exercise all the time!
That is the main reason why I started this blog; to motivate myself and to keep myself accountable to someone. It really has helped me a ton. I’ve been able to meet so many really nice, inspiring people. I learn so much from each of you and I really really really appreciate all of your encouraging comments and support! It helps me more than you know!
But I’m sorry that you, as readers, have to suffer from whiplash all the time. I know I am constantly starting new goals, new challenges, etc. I also know that sometimes I’m really really “ON” and other times I’m…just…not.
So sorry ’bout that.
I WILL tell you though….I am a very stubborn and determined person and I will never quit striving to improve and live the healthiest life possible! I love it and it really brings me so much joy and purpose.
HOWEVER, I’m also not willing to completely eliminate my favorite treats and food for good. Soooooo, I know I will always struggle with cravings and I’ll always have to start new goals and challenges and things. I know I’ll never be able to say “I’m Done!”
I’m okay with that though because I’m trying to find joy in the journey and not just the destination. I’m just trying to learn how to be healthy and avoid my favorite non-healthy foods 90% of the time so I can indulge and enjoy them the other 10% of the time and NOT FEEL GUILTY!
Sooooooo, I will just keep on writing about my daily successes and failures and hope I can become healthier and stronger as I go. I’m sorry I’m not perfect……I never will be. Dang.
There…..those are my thoughts…….
I really do truly love you all. xoxo

I actually love that you’re like this because then I know I’m not the only one! I’m always trying something new, mostly because I get bored with the same thing after a while. So it’s fun to see what new things you are doing, get new ideas. And I also refuse to give up. I love treats, but I love being healthy and I can’t just say “oh well”, ever. Love ya!
