The Challenge

For the next 100 days I am quitting sweets: desserts, natural sweeteners such as honey, soft drinks, etc. I am doing this for a number of reasons, I am close to finally reaching my healthy goal weight, I am trying to break a crippling addiction, and I am working to strengthen my personal discipline. It will be hard and I may slip up, but for the next 100 days I am going to say no to friends, family, and hardest of all myself in eating what I want to eat.

I will pair this challenge with a couple lifestyle changes that I have been working on for the past three years, but still have not committed to. I will try a variety of workouts and will complete at least 3 times a week to not only make this a habit, but to discover which elements of working out I can enjoy. I will also commit to overall healthier eating habits in the pursuit of learning to cook with the balance of health and taste. This challenge is extended to everyone who wants to join me in learning the practice of self-denial. Mark August 21, 2013 on your calendars as the day to celebrate a new, healthier life.
