30-day-Challenge : DAY 1

Although it’s unknown (at least to me) what exactly my mental drawbacks are – I have learned of late that my mental wellbeing are made worse when I allow myself to get bogged down both emotionally and physically.

For instance, when my weight gets very high and I am as inactive as I can get it effects my emotional and mental health. I get angrier when I’m mad. I get sad to the point of depression when I’m disappointed. Situations that would make a normal person sad or angry for only a few hours put me into a downward spiral for days or weeks at a time.

These reactions do not, of course, completely disappear when I am healthy, fit and active. But, they are of a much more manageable state.

For these reasons I am beginning a self-challenge, if you will. I bet with myself that I cannot lose 10 lbs in the next 30 days.  I will begin today – May 14^th 2015. The challenge officially ends June 14^th of 2015.

I have numerous other faults in my life that desperately need attention as well, but, this is my first step in the right direction. You have to walk before you can crawl, as they say.

I welcome any of you that maybe reading this to join in. Take the 30-day-challenge with me. Together we can make one small change that just may be the first of many.
