You can’t put a price tag on health

My husband and I decided to dedicate 24 days to getting our health on track. We may have looked healthy from the outside but we were far from it. I was an exhausted overworked stay at home mom with no help and not enough energy to do it all. My husband works insanely long hours in a high stress environment leaving him exhausted at the end of the day with no motivation to be active. We needed a change and honestly the investment in the 24 day challenge was the best investment we have made to date.

I get up at 4am to work from home before my little one wakes up so by noon I was ready for a nap. Even a 2-3 hour nap wasn’t good enough for me I would still wake up exhausted but drag myself out to the park to play with my little one. I would drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day just to get by and I still could fall asleep after having a coffee. My body just wasn’t working right and I wanted to do something about it. I got in a really bad habit of drinking every night just to unwind from a long day of juggling life. I had somehow justified in my head that i deserved those 2-3 glasses of wine because i had such a long day. I knew it wasn’t a good habit to have but it is what I looked forward to after my little one went to bed.

My husband, Sean, loves his treats! If it was his choice he would have biscuits and gravy or chicken fried steak and eggs for breakfast, a burrito for lunch and lasagna for dinner with a bowl of vanilla ice cream for dessert. He loves and enjoys his comfort foods. He works crazy hours in an extremely stressful environment so for him food is comfort. At the office he finds himself snacking on donuts, pastries, birthday cake and ice cream. The combination of bad food and lack of exercise had him exhausted.

We wanted a change so we decided to sign up for the 24 day challenge together and man I am going to tell you it was a game changer for us. We didn’t lose much weight I lost nothing and Sean lost 5 pounds and 3 inches around his waist but it wasn’t about the weight for us it was able our energy and zest for life. Through the 24 day challenge I no longer drink coffee, I was able to break my bad habit of drinking wine every night and I now have so much energy I don’t need my naps and I even double my production at work. Sean was able to gain more energy, eliminate the processed foods and feel better than he has ever felt before. This has been truly a blessing for us both.

It is not always about weight loss sometimes our bodies and minds just need a reset. A reset to eliminate the processed foods and sugar, alcohol and jump start healthy living. We don’t plan on eliminating these things forever but more live a 80/20 lifestyle….well let me be honest I like to live more of a 90/10 lifestyle myself but it is all about balance and moderation. No matter what your goals are whether it’s losing weight, gaining energy or just a mental reset to jump start some healthy lifestyle habits the 24 day challenge or something like that may be exactly what you have been looking for.
