Healthy eating
I have decided I'm going to make a change in my diet. I'm not at all overweight, and I don't want to lose weight, but I do want to just FEEL better. When I was a teenager I used to be very active and my mom fed me pretty healthy food, and I always felt great! Now after a few years of college and work and ready-to-eat meals I've definitely felt a big change in my energy levels, not to mention a lack of muscle definition! My skin has also been getting pretty bad lately.
So a few nights ago I decided to take out my yoga stuff. I haven't done yoga in 3 years, since before I had Layla! I tried doing some poses but I got really frustrated with not being able to position myself properly and hold it. So I gave up and did some situps... 2 sets of 50 and my abs were really sore. In high school I could do 200 in a row! So I talked to Kyle and he told me to try doing 4 sets of 50 every night. He said doing them daily will define the muscles I have, where taking a break and doing every second night will build bulging muscles lol... so I'll take his advice and do it nightly! Anyways, I also want to start using my treadmill a few nights a week (but I've said that a lot!), and now that my guitar lessons are over, and Layla graduates puppy class on Wednesday, I think I might look into taking an evening yoga class. So today I started with my diet. I had 2 pineapple carrot muffins and a glass of 100% orange juice with added calcium (because I don't drink milk). I want to wean myself off of pop and artificial sweeteners, so I'll try sticking to pure fruit juice and water. Wish me luck!
