On day 1 of my 12 week organic transformation, I remember thinking that this was going to be a long 12 weeks. I was worried how or even if I would stick with my program. Today, I am 3/4 of the way through and feel like time is passing too quickly! This is truly a total lifestyle change for me. No looking back!
Progress: I have 4 weeks to go and I'm already in my goal weight range (a 5 lb range I set for myself knowing that muscle weighs more than fat)! I've not yet met my strength goals, so now I can focus my full attention towards strengthening and toning.
Saturday morning over breakfast, my 4 year old daughter said to me, "I have a new rule for you mom."
I responded hesitantly afraid to fuel her bossy streak, "Ok, what?"
She answered, "Always stay healthy!"
Whew, I didn't see that one coming, "Great rule!"...as I beamed from ear to ear
"I have another new rule.", she added.
"Ok, what"
Proud of herself, "Always eat lots of fruits and vegetables."
That simple conversation just made all of my efforts triple in value.
Eating has always been a struggle with my daughter and eating healthy has been an even a bigger battle. However, since I started my 12 week organic transformation challenge, she's been more willing to try new healthy foods "just like Mommy". She often asks, "Is this organic?" or "Is this a healthy choice?" at meals and while shopping. Both of my kids beg for their Essante Super Reds and Bee Tabs each morning. These successes alone makes my journey worth the effort, win or lose the prize money, I've already won much much more!!!
