The
Whole Life Challenge is drawing
to a close (only 8 days left! How did this happen?!), and that has been
freaking me out a little bit. The crazy thing is that, unlike other fitness
programs I’ve attempted in the past, I’ve hardly even noticed how many days
I’ve been doing this thing—I’ve just been focused on each day as it comes, and
sticking to the rules as best I can. But now, the husband and I are starting to
think (and worry, to be honest) about how many healthy new habits we’ll be able
to maintain if we’re not checking in and tracking our progress each day. The
fact is, there have been times that we’ve focused on eating a certain way (e.g.,
a 3-week vegan cleanse) or doing a specific workout (e.g., P90X), and as soon
as the determined duration (and, well, determination) ends, we go right back to
our old habits in a big, bad way.
