My story is not uncommon when it comes to weight loss and healthy living. Like most I’ve tried a few different methods to weighing less.
I know the basic knowledge of all healthy diets and weight loss programs.
- The less processed a food is the better
- Eat less calories than you burn, but you need nutrients and a certain amount of calories to not go into starvation made.
- Exercise is important, so you should be active.
I know these things, but it takes something else to actually make that knowledge count for something. It takes self-disciple, will power, and commitment.
Healthy living is a life-style change that I am making. Unlike other times I’m doing something different. I’m committing to working on all of me, not just my physical self.
My idea is that as I work towards my physical health I will also look at my emotional and mental health. This will help me create a true life-style change and not just a temporary diet/ exercise adjustment.
I will start by posting a “Healthy Bagel” post once a month and then increase as I have time and need. Most of the posts will focus on my physical health journey, but I will also add in thoughts about my mental health, since your body and mind are intricately intertwined.
Before I leave you I should note that I have already made progress on my journey. It started a couple years ago, but I am just now truly moving down this path to my healthiest self and joining in both inner and outer health together. It was like I stepped on the path to health 2 years ago and studied it, but only took a couple steps. Now I am steadying walking down it.
