Okay, it's 6 AM on the first day that I am practicing my new lifestyle. Today I start eating healthy, working out, keeping a cleaner home, being a better mom, and a better wife. Those are the big things I need to work on this year and I have a plan for each. I am going to be exhausted. But this blog is going to help me keep track of my emotions and my thoughts as I work towards those things.
So lets start by checking in with my emotions and goals for today. I am exhausted, but I feel excited about all the changes. I am ready to start my new eating plan - including forcing myself to eat breakfast. But I am going to shower first :) I plan to eat a Banana-Peanut Butter smoothie for breakfast, some carrots and an orange as a snack later after doing 20 minutes of yoga and 20 minutes of cardio - either jumping on the tramp or walking. Lunch will have to be a can of soup or a sandwich - I am only allowing myself one smoothie per day and forcing myself to eat an actual meal for either breakfast or lunch. Then dinner tonight is a baked potato with fat free sour cream, steamed broccoli and some cheese. Yummy and healthy and vegetarian! I also am going to help the kids remember their chores, spend some quality time with each doing some learning or homework, get them to bed on time so I can have quality time with Jeff, I want to make time today to call my mom, my brother, my sister and my grandparents and tell them I love them.
It's going to be the emotions that do me in. When I start feeling bored, or unhappy, or tired - I give up. So I am hoping that the GABA supplements work and keep my mood elevated and on an even keel so that I can keep up with the things I need to do and not sink back into the substandard status quo. Ok, it's 6:20 and time to shower and really start the day - wish me luck...
