Two Weeks to the End Of April

It feels like this month has lasted forever. I faced many challenges this month from my family being back in town to a ton of assignments at work. I have been on the go non-stop. There are some things I have done well this month. I have kept up with my weight training sessions with my personal trainer. I have wanted to quit at times as my life felt so hectic and I wanted to take some thing off my plate. What I have learned by pushing through with my twice weekly sessions is that after I train I feel so calm and relaxed. I never new lifting could release my stress and tension.

I have also kept up with my walking routine, really enjoying walking with my walking group at work. I have prevented any foot injuries that almost crept up.

I did track toward the start of the month, but I quickly abandoning daily tracking. My eating had been some what out of control over the last two weeks. I have been able to recover by jotting down what I eat on index cards, writing in my journal daily, especially my emotions. I have also written inspiring messages on index cards and set small goals for myself.

At this point in my journey I do feel ready to treat myself better by eating healthier foods. I am focusing on cutting back on flour and sugar products, and eating more fresh salads and fresh fruit. I am trying to fill up on fruits and vegetables. I feel that the only way to beat my addiction it to make some permanent changes to my eating habits, so I am cutting back on cheese, flour and sugar. I will check back in at the end of the month to see how I have done.

One salad down today and one more to go!
