One month ago I decided I wanted to be healthier, 3 weeks ago I started treating my body the way it deserves to be treated. Feeding myself food that is beautiful, tasty and actually gives me the energy I need to get things done in my life. The first week I was a rock-star, had great recipes for every day and completed them all. Second week we had a guest and my meals went a little wonky, I ate well but felt scattered most of the week. Third week I still did my grocery shopping with my recipes but skipped a couple of days and went out to eat at restaurants instead of cooking. Overall I am super proud of myself, even though it wasn't my goal I have lost about 5 pounds. Other perks are I am experiencing a lot more energy, I'm not hungry during the day and for some reason I am warmer than I usually am. I actually have been working to complete my caloric intake at the end of the day (most of the time a glass of wine is perfect). It's amazing how full vegetables make you, I feel like someone should tell the world about them (the obviousness of healthy eating is not lost of me, and I feel a little silly that it has taken me this long to figure it out.)
What I am still struggling with is the exercise; healthy eating I am on board with, but I just can't seem to find time in my day to get my exercise in. When I say "fit in" to my day I mean I can't seem to get the motivation to get off my butt. I'm planning on obtaining some exercise equipment on boxing day hopefully so I can at least have a treadmill to step onto while I watch TV. I know exercise is good for me, just like I knew vegetables were good for me but somehow I'm still not exercising. I will try try and try again, I will be fit, I will be strong. I'm now going to plan my weekly meals and maybe tomorrow I will do the new workout I found! Wish me luck!
