Keep It Up

So, it's almost the end of the first week in February....this is usually when everyone quits their resolutions or forgets to continue with their new healthy lifestyle. I am usually one of these people who forgets as I get back into the swing of things after the holdidays. Since I am currently on maternity leave, I have the time...well maybe not the time as all mothers know, but I am at home and I can think more about what I am doing with my meals and exercise, and I am continuing to strive towards my goal.

As I posted last time, I am moving this month and continue to be busy with packing up the house. Although I have been busy, I have still tried to eat healthy but seem to be lacking on the exercise part of my weightloss right now. The only way that I can see to justify what I am doing...or lack thereof, is that I am constantly moving boxes and heavy furniture everyday. We move a truckload of stuff everyday and that involves packing boxes, loading boxes and furniture, and then unloading boxes and furniture when we arrive at the new house. I have also been trying to put some things away as soon as we get there so I am not overwhelmed by it all when we get into the house, thus having more time for exercise when I am in my new house.

I have also not had super healthy days all week and we have been eating out this week because we are always on the go. However, with a capital H, I am still trying to be mindful about what I am putting into my mouth. When I say that we are eating out, this does NOT mean burgers and fries, this means a Subway sandwich FULL of veggies and on whole wheat bread or a Tim Horton's sandwich on whole wheat bread. I even went out for lunch with my mom and sister for my sister's birthday and ordered flatbread and a salad instead of a wrap and fries which is my usual. I realize everyday that I need to be careful with what I eat because I want to reach my goal before my 206 days are up.

This week, I have been thinking a lot about support and how important it is to have support around you when you are working towards any goal and I am not sure that I have all the support that I need. My husband is great!...but I am wondering if some of the others in my life understand and realize the importance of this goal to me and how they can help...but that is a topic for the next time, I am off to bed in case my little man wakes up during the night.

Every day is a new day...what will you do with tomorrow?
