Healthy ME

  I am not one to be crazy with how physically fit I should be by posting "gym pics" or stupid dieting/healthy food posts because I feel like everyone has their own personal feelings and motivation for being healthy. I used to be CRAZY with my diet and gym routine about a year ago, which I'm glad I was because I felt great. However, when my life got much busier, I kind of slowly stopped really taking care of myself. I was legitimately busy with work and planning a wedding and tried to go to the gym but sometimes was occupied with other things I needed to do.
  However, lately I have found myself being so tired and sluggish! When I get home from work I want to immediately get into my pj's and go right to bed while my very active husband wants to take the dog for a walk, go to the park, to the gym together or play volleyball. It's hard to be motivated to do simple things when you feel so tired. So, I have decided that my habits need to change.
  The first habit I'm going to change my diet. I'm going to try and eat more of what I should and less of what I shouldn't. More water instead of Pepsi. More fruits and veggies and less sugar and carbs. More grains instead of starches. I won't start off crazy and start cutting things out completely but instead adding more good things to my body and less bad.
  The second, I'm going to do 30 min of physical activity of some kind everyday. Walk the dog, jog around the block, lifting weights or playing a sport of some kind. Anything physical for at least 30 minutes. Nothing crazy, just some form of exercise to get me moving. After awhile of that, I'll push myself to do more and more.
  I just decided that if I'm not happy with how I look or feel then I'm the only one who can change that. My husband, as encouraging as he is, can't motivate me. I have to. It's my body, my habits and my health. I am the one in control of me.
  So I'll be using my blog to help keep me on track and accountable. This is going to be awesome!
