When it comes to healthy eating habits, it's hard to get on the right track. And once you have, sometimes it feels like a daily struggle to stay on there!
Ok, I'm a self proclaimed "food geek". But I admit that I've had one of those weeks. I don't know what it is but food has never tasted so good! I allowed myself a few small indulgences and you know how it goes. A small bite, turns into another small bite, turns into a HUGE bite, and then a oh-I-might-as-well-finish-it bite. Now, I'm struggling to get myself back in the healthy mind frame. Sometimes it really takes a lot of effort to do what's good for you. I think we should all take time to thank ourselves when we work out, or choose a salad over a hamburger. These things aren't always easy to do. The worst part is, I know that getting back on track will make me feel awesome. So why am I having such a hard time? I think it's a natural human thing to fall "off the wagon" and then pick yourself up and carry on. But there are some tried and true methods to getting back on track and I'm ready for them!
To motivate myself, I'm doing the following things: dedicating myself to a long yoga workout tomorrow night, planning my meals for the weekend and getting the grocery store shopping out of the way, talking to my best friend about how eager I am to get back on track, and this evening, I'm reviewing all of the reasons why being healthy is so important to me.
See, I'm feeling better already! Now I just have to convince my boyfriend to throw away those chocolate macadamia nuts (I blame them for ALL of this!).
