I've been a bit laxidasical about my new health regimen since I started my blog. Why? I'm not sure...I think the typical woman thing of putting everyone and everything first. I'm not laying blame on anyone but myself. But a strange thing has happened! My hubby, who has gained about 40 pounds since the beginning of the year, has suddenly started eating healthy: watching his caloric intake, his carbs, fat - EVERYTHING! And I say WTH??? Then, to top it all off (with a cherry on top!) he started riding a bike yesterday. And I don't mean a stationary bike and I don't mean around the block. We're talking a real bike with 2 wheels and he rode 2 miles yesterday! He's also cut out all sodas and sweet tea (which is unheard of for him!) and drinks water all the time (strange all in itself!). So I say to myself: Self....get on that band wagon and ride it like there's no tomorrow!!!
So....I wake up this morning, after doing much research on foods, health, etc. (my obsession) and ate oatmeal and fruit this morning, had an appointment at lunch so I had some leftovers when I got home. But on my way home I stopped at Publix and picked up spinach leaves, strawberries, carrots, brown rice, portabella mushrooms and soy milk...yes, soy milk. Why? Because it's better for me, has more protein, less fat, less calories and "they" say I should. So what the hell? Might as well try it, huh??
I visited with some friends tonight - with JJ and Mya in tow.....had a glass of wine to unwind and then headed home. Made the girls some "kid" food, got them in bed and then made my dinner: leftover veggies, brown rice and grilled fish with a corn/black bean relish - delish!! Tonight I'll be doing a power yoga video - after I meet my hubby out for a beer (light, that is!).
So when you're not doing what you "think" you should be doing, do you need a little competition to get you motivated? What excites you and gets you moving?
Love to all!
Hugs,
Heather
