Gratitude Journal Day 21 - Starting Something

Today, I am grateful to start a few somethings.

It is Spring time and I need to make some changes to what I am doing to be healthier and hopefully happier.

My beard was starting to bother me. I walked out of the bathroom and the first thing my son said to me was "You're not my dad!" lol.

I have decided that I am going to phase out the unhealthly eating habits that I have. I need to drink more water. I need to eat more real foods. I want to phase in vegetarian eating habits and make eating meat something that is rare. I need to add more fruits to my diet. I have been feeling super uncomfortable in my body lately and I want to make these small changes and be disciplined in following through with them. I am the heaviest I have ever been and I am not happy or comfortable with what I can do or how I feel.

I want to run a half marathon this year. I need to get more exercise in my life. These past six months have probably been some of my most sedatary time in my life. I have been feeling it. My back has been hurting. My legs have been hurting. I need to get more active and with that I need to get more sunshine in my life. I want my workouts to be balanced between being on a treadmill and being outside on a bike/walking path. I know this is going to be a process and I have done it before. I am older now and I need to prioritize these workouts if I want to do what I want to do in my body.

I am going to set up a plan to read more, continue to learn Spanish, continue writing my Gratitude blogs, play more games with my kids, be financially smarter with my money, get more sleep.

I am making a plan now by saying these are my goals and writing them. 

I am on a journey. I know my destinations will change as life happens.

I need to remember to have grace with myself and enjoy the journey.

One day at a time. One decision at a time.
