Daily Food Diary – Day 97 of 365

I am 97 days into my Daily Food Diary.  That leaves 268 days to go. 

When I adopted a Healthy and Active Lifestyle three years ago, my driving mantra was “My future self will thank me!”   That thought kept me pushing through the difficult, frustrating, day to day pain and struggle.

Three years later, my life is so much better because I am so much healthier, stronger, and happier.  AND… I am THANKFUL for everything that my past self did to get me there.

97 days into my Daily Food Diary, I am beginning to realize health benefits from being more mindful of what I am consuming and the changes that I have made to my eating habits.  I am thankful for what I started and I am excited to see how much better my future self will be faring in 268 days.  🤗🤗🤗

I have to wonder if this future self work is typical for most people.   To be honest, doing anything for myself was pretty much a foreign concept to me until three years ago.  😢

Are you doing anything to make life easier/better for your future self?  If so, what do you do?
