The Ripple Effect

One thing that I have noticed when I do things like drastically change my diet is that my productivity is impacted....for the better!

You would think that because I'm eating less calories or "depriving" myself of certain foods that I would be tired and not get much done. I find the opposite is true.

I get energized and motivated! When I work hard to improve one area of my life, generally the other areas get better too! Like when I cleaned my kitchen so thoroughly yesterday and got a bunch of laundry done. While I did the dishes I listened to a sermon and "fed" my spirit.

Maybe that's why I felt so good on Day 3. My choice to take control of my eating habits has impacted almost every area of my life so far.

And this is why I wanted to do this diet. It's about so much more than just loosing weight or changing the way I look. This is the symbolic throwing of the stone into the water and seeing how the ripple effects everything else when I make wise choices.
