Preparing to Start My Own 30 Day Healthy Living Challenge:

I plan to eventually incorporate intermittent fasting with this 30 day challenge but not the first week. No dairy, no pasta, and no sugar, great, those things are just not good for my body. I had a baby about a year and a half ago. I weighed 210 lbs. by the 9th month. So I was 180 after having my son. Lost an additional 10 lbs. over the next year despite breastfeeding. I was not happy at 170 lbs. but at least things were moving in the right direction. Then some stressful life events happened and I was not following my intermittent fasting schedule and I am now up to 190 lbs. A setback but not a reason to give up. 

I'm a runner and I really need to get this weight off my body so I can move and run efficiently. I also want to tie my shoes without suffocating myself. Seriously, I really really want to tie my shoes!

I'm just focused on the first week and incorporating yoga and weight training into my morning routines. I think these two activities will help my mind and running form.
