The Challenge

For the past three years my friend Donna and I have been meeting with Kathy Bowes (www.kathybowesonline.com) to deal with our food addiction. Through Kathy we were able to learn about the biochemically addictive nature of some foods, such as sugar, wheat, artificial sweetners, and alcohol. It's been a spiritual journey and I can say for certain that Donna and I are not the same people we were three years ago. We've both lost some weight, we've improved our eating habits and we've increased our exercise routine, but the weight hasn't come all off.
Last night at our group meeting Kathy posed a challenge to us. For 90 days we stick to our non-addictive food plan (NAFP), weigh/measure/track food to keep our calories at 1500, and exercise four times a week for at least an hour. We were a little scared but we know we're up to the challenge and we're going for it!
So this blog is going to chronicle my 90 days. Donna is doing the same at: http://90dayhjfchallenge.blogspot.com/
