Whole Life Challenge!! 

-Kessa Reasnor

A Paleo challenge? Why would I want to do that? That sounds terrible. My diet is pretty good already… That sounds like a lot of work… I’m too busy and don’t have time for that… I can do it on my own…

These were basically my thought’s when I first heard about the Whole Life Challenge that was starting last fall. Initially I had no intentions of doing it. Then, I had a thought… If what I’ve always done isn’t working… it’s time to try something new. So, with a lot of optimism and support from CFP, I took on the challenge. To say it changed my life is a massive understatement. I can’t tell you how much this challenge will change your life forever. I could write a book about it… I won’t… But, I could.

It is so much more than a “Paleo challenge”. Just as its title explains, it really is a whole life challenge; not one part of my life wasn’t impacted for the better after those 8 weeks. That being said, there is a huge focus on your diet. Before the challenge I followed Paleo about 50% of the time. Now I am at 95% and I would rather skip a meal then have to eat things that make my body sick. And trust me, I was a bread, sugar, carb-o-holic beforehand. If I can change, believe me, you can change too. Your body wants this from you! Before the challenge I counted calories and used all kinds of sugar substitutes and cut calorie corners anyway I could. But, for the Challenge, I decided I would change that too. I would not count a single calorie… Instead, I would follow the Paleo rules, eat when I was hungry, consume appropriate portions, and see what happened. I wish I could put into words how much better I felt physically and mentally. I will never count another calorie as long as I live. I am so passionate about the principles and concept of the Challenge because of how powerful the changes in your life can be.

I learned a lot about myself and my potential during the Challenge. I learned that I wanted more from life… I don’t want to settle for ordinary health because I can get it through the drive-thru. I want real, healthy, spirited, meaning filled life. Through the WLC, I realized I need to nurture each part of my life in order to do that.

Results. Incredible results. The most valuable of them being how I felt physically and mentally, I can’t explain how different I am now. There were also some measureable results as well.  Like losing 18 pounds and 20 some inches I think (I can’t remember exactly). I had definition and physical features I did not even know existed on my body!

Now all of this being sad, since the challenge has ended, I have not been perfect. I still have things I struggle with and keep me humble. But, I am ready for another challenge. I have new goals and have learned from my experience during the previous challenge and am ready to apply this to the coming 8 weeks. Won’t you join me??
