In my last post, I mentioned that Cheryl and I had started a 21 day no junk food challenge. I thought it would be harder than it actually was. I know it is much better for my health to refrain from eating chocolate, candy, desserts, chips, fast food, ice cream, etc., but boy are they tempting. After three weeks of not eating these items (except for a couple of cheats), I did feel much better and I lost over 3 lbs. Not much to speak of, but if I can continue to refrain from eating these things, I know I can lose even more. I like this quote from Tom Stoppard:
"A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier."
My son, Ryan, is a carrier. He is a big advocate of eating healthy and keeping active and has been doing so for a few years. He is down to below his high school weight as a result and he looks great and is fit.
With the holidays approaching, it might be difficult to stick to the challenge, but I am going to make an attempt to do so. Wish me luck!
