I have first have to thank
Chrissy Bernazzani and Reset Nutrition and Fitness for the last 30 days. I think this is the start of a very long and
beautiful partnership that will ultimately put me on the finish line of my
goals. Chrissy’s challenge has been
amazing and she is super supportive and always there to provide guidance. This Challenge has been a game, not a game but
a life changer for me. So thank you so
much!
So here we are at the end
of the Challenge. What was the first thing
I did today being off the RESET challenge; I had my first cup of coffee in 30
days! You know what, missed it big time! I am on the fence about whether or not I am
going to start drinking the coffee again, I love the taste, but I am not so sure
I really need it. So, the debate begins
in my head coffee or no coffee. Looking
back at the last 30 days that is about the only thing that is really up for
debate, as I don’t see myself really changing what I am doing from a “diet”
point of view. The truth is we have
known for some time that I am a junky and an over eater. I think there are two factors that propagate tis
more than anything else: 1) Sugar and 2) Stress of the SS (Sugar and Stress)
and I am not 100% sure in that order either.
Processed sugar is the
work of the devil. I am more convinced
about that now than ever, but any sugar in my system leads me to want more
sugar. It makes me want to have more
sugar. I crave it. I dream about it when I am using. I am a person of extremes and I have very
little balance, especially when it comes to sugar. I eat twice as much when I am on the sugar,
b/c I crave it and I hunt for it. Therefore, barring special occasion and
holidays, I have decided that sugar in all forms even honey, syrup, and fruit
are off limits. I don’t feel the least
bit deprived when I don’t have these things.
Really, I don’t. I mean on occasion. I think this is key to my long term health
and wellbeing. I can be the boy by the
statue again, I can be the kid in the green shirt again, but it will take
staying away from not just the devil powder but also the fruit.
The second thing that will
keep me away from achieving my goals and missing the opportunity to get to my
tower is stress. My situation changed in
my career over the last three weeks and stress has really kicked in during the
last two weeks. I can tell the
difference. I want to eat everything
when I am under stress. I want to eat nachos,
I want to eat pizza, ice cream, cookies, cake, you name it I want to eat and I
crave it. It sits in the back of my
mind, and I thinking about, every thought bent on it, I want it. It is all because of stress. I recognize this now and I will tell you
valued reader that I will not in any way shape or form sacrifice my health
again. I think it is so important to
surround yourself in a caring and good environment with people around you who
you can trust and feel good about being around. The Billy b first phase of my life has begun
and it is a selfish phase and I really do believe that it is the only way I can
survive. So, I will watch vigilantly and
see if my stress levels and craving go up, then it might be time for me to
rethink things. You have manage your
stress and manage your life, we don’t get a long time on this Earth and you don’t
get any do overs or redo’s, so it imperative that I put me first, and fuck the
stress. I can’t constantly be stressed
and thinking about eating junk.
Eventually it will own me and take me. So, it is all about getting the
right people around me or getting in the right environment. My head space has to be focus on my
tower. It has to be focused on my dreams
and some stress is ok but over all I need to have my life on my terms not
anyone else’s.
So, here is my agenda of
keeping sugar out of my diet and here is to keeping a low stress level and
putting me in the best position I can, so I can be the person I dream about
being. Here is to the end of the RESET
Challenge, and here is the to the beginning of the rest of my life!
