Mindset

Today I'm focusing on getting into the right mindset. A mindset that I CAN do this and I WILL do this. I'm actually getting excited about getting started. I haven't felt this way for awhile. It feels good.

Water....must drink more water. It's more difficult for me to do this in the winter when it's so cold out, because I like my water ice cold. I guess I need to drink some hot tea to substitute some of that.

I did some yoga stretching today. It wasn't a strenuous workout, but more something to help get my focus in the right area. My day #1 starts tomorrow after the kids head off to school. Maybe I should pretend that I'm on the Biggest Loser ranch and have to exercise all day. I guess nothing else would get done though. Where is Jillian when I need her? Oh yeah...she'll be on that Shred DVD I'm starting tomorrow. ;)

I'm trying to come up with some healthy family meal options that my kids will eat. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. I'll be sure to let you know if we try something good. I want to get to the store to make sure I have fruits/veggies, and other good stuff to choose from when I get hungry.

On another website I'm on I found this and thought it was fitting: "As your body needs nourishment - food, drink, sleep, so does your soul need nourishment - sing, dance, love. Life is not all work, work is not all hard toil. Nourish your soul with the food that is right for it, for it is the altar of your own inner temple."

  1. I love that quote and am going to borrow it for myself since one of my goals for the coming year is to eat to nourish my body not my emotions. Thanks for sharing your journey Bev!
