One of the most important aspects of participating in this challenge is to be as honest as possible. So with that in mind, I figure it's time for me to spill the beans.
This challenge is a bit tougher than I had originally anticipated. I believe this is in large part to due with the amount of time required to maintain a high level of vigilance with regard to behavior. Making lasting lifestyle improvements is definitely not an easy task. It's simple to keep things together for a few weeks, but I've noticed that my pre-challenge behaviors have returned. The biggest downfall I am experiencing is alcohol consumption. One of the reasons I wanted to start this challenge was to cut back. Up until a few weeks ago I was doing well, but have "fallen off the wagon" as they say. I admit to being a little disappointed with myself, however I do understand that this is the very nature of the challenge. If it were easy everyone would be able to integrate changes seamlessly. We're now halfway to the end point and I am determined to get back on track and finish with flying colors.
I also want to do my best to help others follow suit as I know I have had a negative influence on some other challengers.
This challenge is also about community support so I believe that now is the time for us all to band together and help one another make it through the rough spots.
I feel better now.
