exercise regularly, eat better, and take care of myself

Monday… I start again Monday. Monday’s my do-over day. Was a total carnivore in Europe. I really feel better when I don’t eat meat.

Have stopped eating meat.

Have been going to the gym pretty regularly. Last week was my best week in a long time. I went 6 out of 7 days! I feel good, although my diet could be better… I am working on going vegan, but I am not doing it cold turkey. And I should eat more fruits and veggies.

But what’s important, and what I am trying to keep in my mind, is that I have done a lot of good things for myself. I’ve stopped trying to go on any special or trendy diets… I feel incredibly relieved about that. Like I’ve said before: one step at a time.

i’m working on it! i’ve been doing great…and i FEEL more confident already…i am able to move better. i love it.

overcoming my food issues.

exercising regularly again.

flossing every day.

drinking more water.

eating more fruits and veggies, and little sweets or bad carbs (in fact, i would love to become vegan, but one step at a time).

I find that if I exercise, and I mean really exercise, that it is is much easier to eat healthy. I work 34 hours a week and I commute to school twice a week, all day, an hour to an hour and a half away, so I don’t have much time on my hands, but this is very important to me. I’ve gotten so out-of-shape since February…I am ready to take control of myself again. Exercise, for me, is key to success in all other areas of taking care of myself. I deserve to be taken care of. :)
