Healthier Me, Class is in Session
Well it’s been a week since I started to implement changes into my life. I just want to be healthier and live a healthier lifestyle, that’s all!
I have successfully managed to not eat after eight pm six out of seven nights and it feels good! I’m noticing already that my stomach feels softer and most nights I fell asleep quite quickly! Before I was noticing that when I snacked late, my stomach was not pleased with me when I tried to go to bed.
I have successfully managed to decrease the portion size on my plate and still feel fine. In my case my husband is a great cook and it’s hard not to just eat, well you know what I mean!
The other thing I’m working on is getting out walking more. Not just strolling, but making sure my heart rate is up. The first couple of times I was winded and dizzy! But it’s getting better each day. Hopefully I will be able to start adding some distance in the coming months, the dog park track is getting very familiar!
But guess what! I am already down a couple pounds. I am re-energized and filled with hope that I can make this happen!
Often I am my own worst critic, as I'm sure a few of you are as well. I have been working really hard over the last few years to have faith in myself and believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. I am that woman who has trouble finding clothes I think look good and difficulty deciding how to try and fix my hair. But I'm getting better.
Writing a blog was a crazy idea, but when subscribers and viewers started following my posts I was amazed. When my first novel went to the editor last year I was terrified, nauseous and anxious but I did it!
As I look in the mirror I remind myself how far I have come. How many of my dreams have come true. But most of all I am just grateful to be me!
