100 Days to Healthier Me

Exactly 100 days until my birthday. Nice round number entices me to make a plan for health. Again. Here it is:

Eating
Starting today, I'll be following the Whole9s eating plan for 30 days (Whole30). Here's the premise:

• Meat, seafood and eggs; vegetables and fruit; and healthy fat sources like coconut, avocado and olive oil are all foods that make you healthier.
• Sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes and dairy are all food groups that have significant potential down sides, and may not contribute positively to your health.
• The more you eliminate these “less healthy” foods from your everyday diet, the healthier you will be.
• However, you don’t have to eat perfect 100% of the time to have and maintain excellent health.

30 days to start. Of course, I hope to lose a few pounds during these 30 days but as importantly, I want to feel better, more confident and motivated, and have more energy so I can continue to improve myself.

Moving
Starting C25k tomorrow morning. Sticking with it for the full program will mean I'll be running 5k by the end of July. It also means I'll have to work my workouts into a camping trip and a business trip.

Strength
Every other day. Need a plan.
