"Change is good" is something we hear often. If it's so good then why is it so hard? Fear of the unknown can cause anxiety and having to learn something new takes effort, so in many ways the comfort of doing it the same way appears to be the easy way. Easy is good, so why must we have challenges? Is is during these challenges that we grow, become excited and renewed, and become better versions of ourselves.
My balance had been off for a few months for various reasons, we all have our ups and downs right? But lately I've been getting back into the groove, if you will, and it's been an amazing, eye opening experience. I know and preach about how it's not a diet/ it's a lifestyle, and I also say how Nutrition 365 is about making good choices everyday. The reality is that life gets in the way sometimes. You get tight on time, motivation or money, and something slips. You stop going to the gym, you start eating more junk food/ sweets/ processed food, you go to too many happy hours, whatever it is. Then before you know it, your lifestyle changed and your clothes don't fit, you have less energy and don't feel well. Getting and being healthy is a lifestyle and that is why Nutrition 365 works. No one is perfect, so don't expect perfection; be realistic and realize that it will take some work. The rewards pay off tremendously in so many ways, so be consistent and enjoy each moment and each milestone.
