Still Going Strong

I haven't given up my New Year's resolutions yet! Can you believe it? I've made a lot of changes to how I take care of myself. I really wanted to get healthier this year, and I'm doing much better than I was last year. A couple of things that I've been doing well:


1. Drinking 100+ ounces of water, depending on how long I workout that day.
2. Exercising 5 times a week for at least 45 minutes.
3. Switching to whole wheat bread. (It's so hard to give up that white bread.)
4. Eating out only once a week.
5. Eating more fruit.

Some things that I should improve:

1. Not putting cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar on said wheat bread. I'm truly my mother's daughter.
2. Not using the excuse that I NEED to eat more apple crisp because I had no fruit that week. (Whoops.)
3. Eating healthy meals all day, only to eat delicious chips for an hour straight. Chips are my weakness.


Overall, I'm feeling really good. I have a lot more energy and more endurance. Hopefully I can keep this going!

That's fabulous. I've given up junk just this past week. It's my biggest diet pit. Candy & Tortillas & baked goods gone from my life. I switched to whole grains about 10 years ago and I truly prefer them now. I'm also happy with one slice as opposed to two -- they're so much denser I guess. Two seems too much, but one satisfies me. I mix the cinnamon with splenda :) No sugar, but it's sweet, and honestly, you can't tell the difference. The kids use it too. I have it in a salt shaker so they can just shake it onto their toast.
