DAY 36 OF THE 100 DAY CHALLENGE!
Keep Your Perspective
One time I went on vacation to Brazil with some friends. We spent the entire month doing activities outdoors, all the while hoping we would get great tans! By the end of the month, we were convinced that we were still as pale as we were when we first arrived - even after being out in the sun all those days! When we returned to the United States we suddenly realized how dark we had gotten! You see, our eyes had slowly adjusted to the changes in our tans as the days and weeks passed. The same thing can happen during this Challenge. You may think you’ve made no progress at all, because you become accustomed to all of the changes that have happened. Keep perspective. Realize that you’ve made changes, your body is different, but that you still have the rest of The Challenge to go through!

So true! I was just looking in the mirror this morning wondering if I have really changed that much (even though I’ve lost 30 lbs on the diet so far!) I’m very excited to be closer to the Maintenance Phase! Getting excited to get past the first phase and move on! Can’t wait for my “final” body! It’s been working great so far!
