My 60 day health challenge! Starts 03/18/2013

The Game ( the rapper) and 60 day challenge, thus my 60 day challenge!

I recently saw an episode of E! News and they showed the incredible lean body of The Game the rapper. He completed a 60 day challenge of making healthier choices. He changed the way he ate and got his sweat on through physical activities. In the spirit of health and fitness, my sister and I will be starting our own 60 day challenge tomorrow! I will post my before pictures and stats through body measurements.

Jamaican food weakness

So in a few minutes I will be eating my last Jamaican dish of curry goat, plantains, rice and peas. I love Jamaican food but its best I let it go. I am excited about changing my lifestyle. It's finally time I hold myself accountable for my own health. I realized any major life threatening condition, at least the major ones like heart disease, diabetes and high blood can be connected to poor eating habits. I already have one of those conditions and that is one too many. I am too young to have a major health condition.

Eat To Live

I bought the book Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman today. I am really excited to start reading the book. I always do research on new ways of eating for health and I came across his book. I have read many reviews and it seems to be a no gimmicks type book which is a breath of fresh non polluted air. The book is based on a 6 week meal plan that promises a 20lb or more Weightloss. The meal plan is based on unlimited amounts of beans, legumes, raw vegetables,greens, veggies, fresh fruits, a few nuts, 1 oz of ground flaxseed, limited amount of starchy vegetables and grains, no dairy, animal products,fruit juice, between meal snacks and oils. I am going to read the book starting today and will start eating to live Sunday 1/30/12.
