How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?
Firstly, I owe the success of this challenge to my Vitamix.
Personally, I feel that sustainably/locally/humanely raised grass-fed beef is better for the planet than a plant-based diet. For a number of reasons. But in any case, my normal diet relies heavily on pre-packaged foods. So reducing that alone reduces the amount of waste in the landfill. And it goes without saying that consuming more greens (micronutrients) has a positive effect on me.
Aside from a few workouts sprinkled in here and there, it's been like 6 months off the gym. Therefore, I'm taking it super slow with each session back; primarily to avoid getting injured.
I was 100% addicted to sugar—still am really. But I've eliminated refined sugar for now. As expected. The cravings are still there. So I'm resorting to natural sugars like berries and dates. AKA nature's candy........
