I had a great vacation, but the one thing I didn’t do that I told myself I would do- was use that opportunity to start eating healthier again. At the start of each week- I’d tell myself the same thing- over and over again – for seven weeks. It never happened. I never ate healthier- in fact, if anything I ate worse!
I’ve thought about it- and even chastized myself a bit, because I know better, and what was already a bad habit has become even worse. I know it’s time to make some changes.
Since I’m already extremely busy and I don’t want to overwhelm myself, I’m making a few small changes over the next couple of weeks and see where it takes me. I’m looking forward to getting back on a regular exercise routing and eating better. That part of the journey has begun- plus nothing after 8 at night. If I can make it through this week with NOTHING but water after 8- then I’ll cut anything with sugar after that. I’m already easing off that- but it’s not going to be cold turkey. It’s still never going to be 100% sugar-free, after all- I have a cupcake business and I will have to test new products, but that doesn’t mean I have to eat them outside of testing them- plus I can spend extra time on the elliptical when I know I’m going to be having a cupcake.
I can do this- I’ve done it before, plus me and my health deserve it.
