Today is the first official day of my lifestyle change (as I made my decision to change last night, just before heading to bed), and what better way to celebrate than to prepare a delicious and healthy breakfast and get a little workout in! Oatmeal with fruit is always a good choice and I’m hoping some lemon and ginger tea will help with the bloating I’m currently experiencing. As for the workout, it was very short and sweet but a good way to ease back into being active.
Over all, I’m feeling quite positive about today, and the choices I’ve made (though I maybe could have done without the soy hot chocolate). But even on an easy day like today, I’ve had to force myself to workout, using a long hot shower, complete with leg shaving, as a reward. I think it has to do with the weather. During the winter months, it’s nothing but rain and cold, and of course it doesn’t help that it gets dark at 3 p.m., leaving me desperate for my warm bed and some Netflix. It takes a good deal of will power to get myself out of my cozy Christmas pajamas and into some workout gear, and most days, I just don’t have that kind of strength. But it needs to be different; I need to change.
And I’m feeling the change in my mentality happening already. I’m becoming more determined to achieve my goals, and more exited to be working towards something. Though it will no doubt be challenging, I know it will be well worth it. But now comes the hard part: waiting. It can take a long time to see results and I am not a very patient lady. I’m hoping my excitement and my drive will push me to continue and I can take this task on one day at a time…
Shine on,
