We've made it to the finish line! I am so proud of each and every one of you who have stayed strong and changed your life for the better. Even if you messed up from time to time, or didn't quite finish the course like you wanted to, you have discovered and begun integrating healthy eating choices into your overall lifestyle - choices that will become an integral part of who you are, if you'll allow them to.
Remember, these 40 days have been a launching pad. This has not been a mere diet that can now end; it has been the set up for a lifetime of wise eating. As we transition off of the actual 40 day plan, always remember that you owe it to yourself to treat your body with the respect it deserves. It is your temple. The rules and accountability may be gone, but our individual commitment to living our best life is not.
A good goal is to live on the Maker's plan around 90% of the time. This allows for fun splurges and for moderate eating of the foods you just hate to give up. If you stay focused 90% of the time, you won't recreate the addictions we broke in Phase I and you'll be able to feel the joy of exercising control over your food choices rather than allowing your food to control you. Don't forget those detox days! Be careful not to let yourself slide back to the other side!
You all are an inspiration. Thank you so much for taking this journey. Your commitment to yourself and to everyone else on the team has changed you and each of us for the better.
Now go out there and live your best life - guide others down the path - represent the excellence we were created to reflect! Seal the principles you've learned over the last 40 days into your mind and make a decision to continue walking through 2010 feeling and looking better than ever before!
Much love,
Jen
