I stocked up yesterday with greens (dino kale, spinach, collard & romaine) as well as fruit (2 kinds of pears, apples, bananas, oranges, limes) and some coconuts and I couldn't be happier to be starting onto this Challenge.
41 incredible people are joining me this week. I'm so amazed, this number is larger than the last Challenge.
Of course, sure, ya, I'd love to drop some weight on this Challenge. For those of you that don't know, I'll be doing just Green Smoothies and fruit again, like last Challenge so there is no doubt that I will. But truly, I'm hoping to get a lot more out of this Challenge then just dropping a few pounds.
I want this experience to be fun. Genuinely fun. I also want this to be a loving experience for myself. No pressure to achieve. No 'punishment' for all the junk that I ate over the holidays. A genuine love for myself and gratitude for the nourishing food I'll be feeding myself.
My hopes for this Challenge are very much the general hopes that I have for this year. For some reason this year feels different. I'm not trying to cross off as much as I can from my list. I'm not even making or adding to my ongoing list. I'm really looking to make my experience of everything more quality. If I'm not enjoying myself, maybe I shouldn't be doing it or maybe I'm not ready for what I'm trying to achieve.
More than anything, I just want to be completely content with wherever I'm at, whenever I'm there. Loving what is. I think that's the toughest New Years Resolution that I've ever made.
Well my Friends. Good luck to those on the Challenge. Good luck to all and our new beginning. It might seem flaky, I truly believe we can start anew as many times as we need in fact so don't worry if all that we try this year takes a few false starts. It's all part and parcel. Cheers. Suzanne
