Waking Up (Day 50)

Disclaimer: You need not be a member of any health club to partake in this Springtime Melt. Anyone around the world is welcome to join at any time. It just helps if they too start on Day 50. I count backwards because I like to see numbers getting smaller, not larger. Avoiding getting bigger is a key to this Melt.

Monday March 19th! 

Mondays are my most favorite day of the week. Most of you curse Monday but I really enjoy them. I am finished at the ski hill and have a day off before heading back to school. This morning I woke up to a sold 10 inches of snow on the ground. Seeing as though we have had very little snow this winter I was caught off guard. I love when it snows. It looks as if Bozeman got a fresh start to winter but then again it is almost April. In all my years in Bozeman, I am still shocked by spring snows. Some years it feels like summer will never come. Snowstorms continuing through May leaves me a little sad but there is always a glimmer of hope thinking about a snow free month in July. Even when the unexpected snow does come each of us knows that eventually it will melt away. I am hoping in six weeks the snow in Montana is long gone, and both you and I are on our way to be that much more healthy. 

Today is that first day of the Melt. Today’s challenge might sound a little simple, but in a few weeks might be easy to forget. Day 1 Challenge: Write down EVERYTHING that you Eat and Drink BEFORE you do it. Also include what time you ate/drank at. This challenge is for you to become aware of all that you consume. You will be surprised at how much you wont want to eat because of writing it down. At the end of my day, I send my entire journal to Lana for “proofing”. I do that for even more accountability of what I am eating and drinking. There are no eating restrictions on Day 1. Simply write down everything, and if you want, e-mail it to us.
