Compliments of www.talda.com


Creating a lifestyle.

I'm not a fan of "diet" as a verb. Diet, in my book, is a noun - a lifestyle. It's what we choose to eat, why we choose to eat it, and how it affects our body. Yes, I love to savor good food. But "good" is a combo of "real" and "yummy". It's a blend of real ingredients complimenting each other. That's "Yum". 

Same goes for activity. I'm very fortunate to be blessed with a community of amazing individuals who savor activity and Getting Out just as much as they savor good food. It's the call of the outdoors, the call of the sunshine, the water, the air that fulfills us and makes us love the lifestyle we partake in.

Today, the first day of the challenge, I encourage you to embrace the fulfillment you can get from honoring the basics that our bodies thrive on - movement, good/real food, and real/good friends.

Enjoy!

And for those that didn't print the workouts, here's the details again:
