In the way this really shouldn't come as a big surprise to anyone who knows me. The first change came when I added exercise into my daily routine. After sitting idling by for years unhappy with how I looked I finally got out of my own way. I was more than surprised at the changes I saw with not only how I felt but how my body started to change. But, I can't just keep feeding my body junk. And I can't justify feeding junk to my family either. I asked my 7 year old son what he wanted for dinner. His response " pizza, pancakes, macaroni, hot dogs, "masketti and meatballs" and last he wants tacos." Oh boy... Changing this could be interesting. We I just signed my family up to take-the-10-day-pledge Have you heard of http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/ I hadn't until a few days ago but after going through her website this looks like something I can do. I think you can do it too. I snagged this from her site.
Benefits of Taking the 10-Day Pledge
Upon completing your goal we predict you will gain the following:
- A first-hand, eye opening experience of how to identify the real food in our processed food world.
- At least one improved health benefit such as having more energy, losing weight, improving regularity, or just feeling healthier overall.
- The realization that some of those pre-packaged processed “food-like substances” don’t even taste that good compared to real food.
- The opportunity to teach your children (if you have them), by example, the healthiest way to eat and enjoy the food mother nature has given us.
- A congratulatory letter and complimentary gift – a silicone wristband debossed with “10 Days of Real Food” which you can wear to make sure all of your friends know what you accomplished!
- The ability to continue on with your life however you chose, but with the new knowledge of how and why to avoid processed foods. Hopefully your 10-day experience will convince you to consider making at least a few changes for life.
How to Take the 10-Day Pledge
- Review the rules that you must follow for the full 10 days. In case you need some more convincing you may also want to review 10 reasons to cut out processed food.
- Complete the form below including your start date. We recommend that you take at least a few days or longer to plan and prepare your kitchen with whole foods so you have enough to eat once your mission starts. Also, consider boxing away the stuff that might tempt you to break the rules – we want you to succeed!
- We also recommend that you spend a few moments reviewing our concise list of real food meal ideas (that link directly to recipes) on the Recipes and Resources page of this site.
- Don’t forget to update your facebook or twitter status to let your friends know that you are starting the 10 Days of Real Food pledge so they can provide you with support and accountability!
- Once you have completed your 10-day pledge visit the Real Food Graduates page to tell us about your experience. We want to know how it went, keep track of how many people have come this far, and be able to send you your free gift.
Honestly, I am not doing this for a letter or a gift.
What I am seeing is worth more than that.
A heathy body and healthy kids... anyone interested in joining me?
Baby steps.
I can do 10 days.
Can you?
