40 Days Healthier

 Now that Mardi Gras is over, and everyone has had their fill of King Cake, fried food, and alcohol, it's time to get back on track - Although the boiled crawfish make living in New Orleans a little easier during Lent!  I'm sure it won't be long before we will get on social media and start seeing everyone getting "bikini ready" for summer. This is a good time to detox from all the not-so-healthy things we have been eating the past few weeks. I like using this time of sacrifice as a time to start a lifestyle change. If you're tired of always starting over - don't stop. Once these 40 days are over, why go back to those same habits you were trying to stop or change?  And maybe you aren't trying to break a habit, maybe you are trying to start a new one!

I'm using these 40 days, not only as a time of sacrifice, reflection, and prayer, but as a way I want to continue to live even when these 40 days are over. I am constantly trying to improve the way I live and the healthy choices I make, so when I start something new, I go into it with the mindset that it's not just something temporary. This is just the start to an even healthier life! 

It's also National Nutrition Month!! So starting those new habits, breaking old habits, and starting to live a healthier lifestyle should be a breeze with all the nutrition posts that will be posted this month! Be sure to check them out at eatright.org!
