I woke up today feeling MUCH better than yesterday, headache gone, no neck or shoulder pain. But then I started getting sleepy again and my energy and motivation started winding their way down the toilet. I’m still going to make an effort today to get some work done around the house but I realized I haven’t really been eating well. I’ve felt so lazy and that begets lazy eating which usually equates to not very good nutrition which then continues the vicious cycle of sloth (not the cute kind or even the Goonies kind) and mild depression. So I have to make an effort to eat better today and the rest of the week (well, and beyond!)
So I’m gonna finish up the sugary snacks (just polished off the angel food cake, no fat, no cholesterol, just sugar and egg whites) and reduce my sugar intake this week (and hopefully beyond). Of course there is a lot of sugar added to stuff I eat that is prepackaged, peanut butter, bread, probably yogurt, cereal, yadda yadda, I’m just going to focus on desserts and such. I can’t really do without sugar in my coffee, I try to lighten up a bit but I couldn’t eliminate it altogether. With green tea I just use a little. I’ll allow myself a little bit of dark chocolate but beyond that I am going to pay a lot more attention to all the sweetened crap I eat or drink. I need to balance out my diet more. Less sugar, more veggies. Mostly for my mood and energy levels but also so I don’t put on any more pounds. Plus I signed up for a bunch of fitness classes where for 10 weeks I’ll be doing yoga on Mondays, 9 of which I will be doing Spin on Wednesdays and 7 of which I will also be doing a krav maga type intense self-defense workout. That all starts at the end of February and leading up to that I will be doing yoga once or twice a week and I have 5 spin classes to fit in too. So I’m hoping that by May I will be leaner, meaner (is that possible?), eating healthier, and feeling great! (and will continue exercising on my own.)
