Well, after all of that about being consistent with healthy habits and such, I now am posting to say that I've completely fallen out on them, and I am having to restart.
That being said, I AM restarting, so that's something. :)
Last summer, we had to move, and that was so much strenuous work for me that it took care of my exercise. But my healthy eating habits went out the window with fast food and convenience eating that happened while we were so busy and tired. Then the move finished, the kids went back to school, and prep for all of the holidays began. Unfortunately, because of all of this, I didn't pick back up any of the healthy habits that I'd gained, except for one thing: I took a bellydance class. It's only once a week, but I did get some practices in at home. Now with the holidays nearly over, I am restarting step one to a healthier me this week. Exercise.
Tonight starts my next bellydance class. One of my many goals for this year is to practice dancing daily. Even if it's only for 10-15 minutes, I'm shooting for at least 20 minutes, at least 3 times a week, outside of class. Not only is it so good for my joints and posture, I'm hoping to feel competent and confident enough to perform by the end of the year.
I do want to start walking again as well, but I think I should start adding back in my healthy life changes one at a time. So, I'm thinking dance practice this week, and start daily walks again in the next week or two.
Mostly, I'm not looking back, nor beating myself up for what I haven't been doing well. That serves no purpose, except to weigh me down with guilt. Since I certainly don't have the time and energy for that, I'm leaving it behind. Hello new year. Hello new day. Let's see what we can accomplish together.
