SP Purification Program Day 15&16 : Finding Balance

My energy is back, my humor has recovered and even though the scale hasn't budged, I lost a few unneeded pounds from my fat head.

Insanity

Doing the same thing over and over again expecting change.

I am facing patterns that I have repeated most of my life. I revisited a post earlier in this series Purification NOT Punishment! Where I shared with you that staying on the purification was punishment...and it is not, but it is important to remind yourself.

This weekend, I undercut my calories, doubled workouts, avoided green vegetables and wasn't getting enough water. Did I do it on purpose? No. Life placed demands and I was not prepared.

Balancing New and Old Habits Is Like Playing Tug-of-War With Yourself

Wrong Thinking: Nothing In = Reduction

Right Thinking: Hydration, Food as Fuel, Exercise = Wellness


Wrong Thinking: I have a plan that will always work.

Right Thinking: I will have to listen to my body and adjust regularly.


Wrong Thinking: I missed the mark, I quit.

Right Thinking: I missed the mark, I can adjust for the rest of he day.


When I started this process, I wanted everything detailed. I wanted the meals planned for the full 21 days. I wanted to know exactly what to expect and when to expect it. That is not possible. My body is not the same from hour to hour, let alone day to day. This process is teaching me body awareness, flexibility, creativity and giving me a drive to learn more. For ever answer I have, I have another question.

I had predetermined what success would look like...and I was so off the mark! I wanted a physical result, which I am getting...but I also received an internal drive as a bonus.

My husband and I have accomplished so much together in just 16 days. We are setting examples for our three children, friends, family and co-workers. We are communicating more than ever and I have my laugh back!
