Sunshine Happiness

What a beautiful weekend! Today I sat outside in the warm sunshine, while staining wood. Which will be used to make hanging planters for my herbs. Hanging them on the cupboards, on each side of one kitchen window.
Cooking with FRESH herbs rocks! Need some basil? Pick a leaf or two! Yay!! I can not wait. 

Really thought about my lack of exercise today. I was so dedicated to my Xbox Zumba routine but then I quit. Now that the weather is nice, I think I need to take my routine outside.  What should I do?
Walk! Walk! Walk!
I need to make a set of timeline goals.
-Half a mile (one way) for a week.
-A full mile (one way)for a week.
- A full mile uphill (one way)for a week.

Etc....

I made a goal in my career and I just reached it in the time frame I gave myself. Why I can't I do that with my health?

I've been doing an amazing job at eating less processed food! Easy because the whole family is on board!
Today I had boxed mac n cheese w/ hotdogs. It was gross! My partner agreed! It is so amazing how our bodies DO prefer clean food!!

I had a strong desire to eat out last week. I had a blue cheese bacon burger & french fries. It satisfied my craving. I think it is very important to splurge, in moderation.

I've been doing ok with my water consumption. Now that the warm weather has hit, I am going to keep track of ounces, to make sure I don't allow myself to dehydrate.
I am putting a limit on coffee.
-Two cups a day
-Only after drinking 8ozs of water
-Never after 9AM

I may splurge once every two weeks or so...get an iced coffee at 2PM on a payday.

Remember moderation and giving ourselves what we want, but only after we get what we need.
Very important!

I am sad to not have much "progress" to report. I think this will change soon. Keep an eye open!
