Before I go into my new challenge, let me wrap up my old one. Last year my challenge to myself was to donate $100 every month to a different charity. Did I complete it? No, but I'm not upset about it. A little more than halfway through, I realized that I was doing it for the wrong reasons. I was doing it because I thought that is what I should do and I wanted people to see me doing something good. I also was hoping to find a charity to donate to monthly. I did that. It wasn't one of my bigger donations, but I was happy to find one that I felt deserved the monthly donation (not that the other ones don't, but this one really struck a cord).
Now, I donate to the Wounded Warrior Project on a monthly basis. I love what they do and I'm happy to be a part of their organization. I also love that they have a close affiliation with CrossFit. They have some gyms that are dedicated to wounded warriors and I think that is absolutely awesome.
So my new challenge. I have a few actually. 2013 has been a wonderful year so far. I started CrossFit, shot a gun for the first time, celebrated many occasions with family, started an MBA program, and now I am on an 8-week Whole Life Challenge.
The Whole Life Challenge drives you not only to change your eating, but your entire lifestyle. I cannot eat any processed food (if the ingredient doesn't come from my mom's kitchen, then I can't eat it (xanthan gum, artificial ingredients). I get extra points for daily mobility, workouts, supplements, and other lifestyle changes (more sleep, more water, etc.). I am really excited, but really nervous.
I can't have sugar either and sugar is in everything! It has been hard trying to figure out what to eat, but I think I've got a system down. Hopefully I can keep it up while camping this weekend.
