DairyThis is my first 30 Day Challenge. I have decided to do these for a couple different reasons.

I am dedicated to my personal development and want to improve my life in areas of mental, physical, and spiritual health and I know that it takes 25-30 days to create new neural pathways in your brain. Our brains do not accept new things or allow us to change a habit unless it is repeated for 25-30 consecutive days in a row. (Miss one day and you need to start over at one) Jack Canfield refers to a study done by NASA where they gave the astronauts in training concave lenses. These lenses made people see upside down. After 25-30 days of continuous wear their brains would suddenly see right-side up. Their brains automatically swapped the image. However if one of them interrupted the experiment along the way the results were reversed. NASA had some take the glasses off for one day and then put them back on, these individuals had to wait another 25-30 days to have the reversal.

Some of the challenges will be things that I want to see changed in my life. The other things may not be permanent changes I will make in my life but are things that I want to ”try on” – first off it exercises my self discipline and second off I want to see if making the change affects the way I feel.

My first challenge is to go dairy free. No milk or cheese products. I am not going to include eggs in this challenge. I am not going to include items that have 1-2 Tablespoons included in the ingredients – for instance the bread I make at home has 2T butter. Today is Day 3 of this challenge – actually it should be day 7 however on Day 4 of my first run I accidentally – (really it was an accident!!) I ordered a Thai Iced Tea with our Thai food and I was about half way through it when I realized that it had milk in it! ARGH! So – I had to start over at Day 1… It has not felt difficult. I passed up whipped cream on my dessert last night, and butter on my toast this morning – these were really easy.
