Today, I once again restarted dieting and exercising. It's really hard for me to keep up with a healthy lifestyle with my busy schedule, and once I get off track, I really lack the motivation to get back on. So, I'm trying to do things a bit differently than I normally do so I can gradually work back up to being active and eating better.
Instead of going completely insane trying to set up a regimen, I'm going in with a relaxed approach! I'll exercise as I'm doing other things/do more exercise for "fun" so working out isn't a chore anymore, I'm working on incorporating more fruits and vegetables into my diet, making sure I drink water more regularly, and so on until I'm more comfortable with getting into a real regimen.
Today so far, I've done some small exercises while doing laundry and dishes, I played with my dog, and I did some cardio by boxing in my garage (I haven't done this in about a year!) and jumping rope. I've eaten more fruit and nuts today than I have in the past week, and I've been slightly more watchful about my carb and fat intake! Tonight, I plan on walking my dog and perhaps doing some Pilates/Wii Fit to really start things off right.
Tomorrow, I'm going to Cedar Point with my boyfriend, Andy, so at least I'll be walking and standing a lot! I just have to make sure I don't make too terrible of choices with my food- amusement park food isn't really famous for its nutritional value...
Wish me luck, because I'll need all the support I can get in order to focus so I can finally start creating healthy habits that will last a lifetime.
