Changing Lifestyles

I have made the decision to live a healthy lifestyle. The mental impact of making healthy food choices is immediate since it leads to what I desire.

Poor food choices will satisfy a craving, but it will not allow me to reach my desired vision of a healthy lifestyle.

The satisfaction of a giving into a craving is short term, but the impact is long term.

Your LIfestyle is who you are

2013 Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle Summer Challenge

June 6, 2013 marks the beginning of the 2013 BFFM Summer Challenge. To me this challenge is a great motivator. I do not enter to win the contest, rather I enter to get met moving and change my behavior.

I am not happy with how I feel and look. My energy level is low and I am having difficulty sleeping. This is not good and I know I need to change behavior to change my lifestyle.

I started a pre-challenge to get myself in the zone before the challenge.

I will blog my thoughts, challenges and progress...
