It is the new year and time for new goals. I would really like to lose weight, yeah duh, like everyone else. But I have really understood that the reason I am tired and depressed all the time is that I am overweight. Not 10 lbs, not 20, I am 80 lbs overweight. My eldest son just turned 15 years old last month and through his eyes all he knows of his mom is that she is always tired. Tired because of who knows what to him. Tired because well whatever, I dont want any more of my life being given to the bed in sleep mode. I do not want my legacy to be that I was always sleeping my life away instead of spending time with my children while they are with me. I beat myself up over this and it is going to stop. I have thought of a few things that I will be trying this Month-January for my health. What are you going to do?
Journaling-every day at the end of the day, I spent most of last night and every other night worrying about things, I wake up and worry, I cant sleep. One of the main reasons I am tired throughout the day.
Water- 10 cups a day. I will get two 34 ounce bottles, and keep them in the frig to drink a day. That way I can take them with me if I work or drink them if I am home. I will get my other two cups when I take my medicine in the mornning and in the evening.
Exercise- FOR NOW, 30 minutes at least every other day. My dog needs this exercise too! I walked her for 27 minutes yesterday and she was a happy pup. If weather keeps me from walking, I will get on the gazelle for the same amount of time. I will also work on some sort of schedule-list so I can keep track.
Okay that is three things to develop into habit, enough for me now. Whatcha gonna do???
PS. I will also keep this note somewhere handy so when I get discouraged I can remind myself of why I am doing this, in case I forget!
