It has been an incredibly busy summer, and I haven't been writing as much as I would've liked to... but this is one journey that needs to be told. I need to make the commitment as much for myself, as I give to other people. Which means re-evaluating my goals, and finding my 'why'. Why have I taken on the challenge of putting my health first for 90 days? I have not taken very good care of my body, and as I've mentioned earlier, more than half of my life has been spent abusing my body with unhealthy food choices. Think for a moment the damage caused by food in our society today. Not only is it a crisis that the world we know today could be very different 10 years from now with high risk problems like obesity, but think about those who are a healthy weight. Just because you are a healthy weight does not make you invincible to the silent deadly toxins that you put in your body. Just because the weight does not show on the outside, does not mean that you are any better on the inside than someone who may be considered obese. In fact... maybe you could be worse. No one is invincible, no matter what your size, gender or race.
I know that by not changing anything, and living today as though there were no tomorrow, would most certainly cause tremendous irrepairable damage for my future. So why put health first? I think the answer is clear: For everyday I am breathing is a gift that no amount of money can buy. Time is of the essense and good health should not be taken for granted.
