If you made an attempt at following the challenge in Seg. 2, you are on your way to doing something good to your body. Whether it has been 1, 2 or 3 days so far, you are cleansing your system of all the foods that take forever to break down and pass through - it is almost like weaning yourself off of something.
Now, lets get back to “Keeping It Real”. I want to share with you how it was for me when I first started my challenge over 10 years ago. I challenged myself just like I challenged you resist going to FAST FOOD JOINTS like McDonald’s, etc. After my first week I felt like I was being starved BUT I SURVIVED. I could notice my clothes were fitting a little looser.
WHY was I feeling like I was being starved: Because when I eliminated the junk food, I found I was not eating anything healthy so I did not eat.
WHY didn't I eat: Because my ENTIRE diet consisted of junk food.
NOTE: Not only did I stop fast food I also gave up POP, chips, cookies and all candy. I really pushed myself by giving up all of the above at once, but you know what, I did it and I saw results.
I didn't want to be that extreme with you guys by saying “just give up everything” because giving up everything all at once like I did can cause you to throw in the towel and give up.
IMPORTANCE: I did start eating plenty of fruit, salads and drank lots of water. Instead of McDonald’s pancake breakfast with an extra syrup and ketchup for hash brown, I ate Instant Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal with one slice of wheat toast instead. I never liked oatmeal nor the sight of it, but when I saw a TV commercial that oatmeal helped reduce high cholesterol (and mine was off the chart) - I incorporated it in my diet. I figured “well since in a on a role with doing good for my body, why not try it.
So right now I am just checking in with you and want you to STAY MOTIVATED and do not give up. Stay focused on what I told you to envision in Seg. 1. You are on your way. I can’t wait to tell you about #OperationPeelTheCoat
