My goals this year was to maintain a healthy mind & body, to get to a place in my life where I was happy with the life i was living and the journey I was taking. I no longer want to be surrounded by people who have a negative outlook on life, or those who are just existing, life is too short. I want my life to have purpose, even though i may not know what that purpose is yet, i'm not going to find it sitting around all day or filling my life with rubbish just because I have time to kill. So I begin the new year with a renewed passion for life, this year I want to learn new things, explore new places, meet new people and live new experiences.
My challenge the past couple of weeks has been to keep a food diary of everything I eat and focus on ways to improve my eating and exercise. Each Sunday I make time to sit down without distraction and write out a menu for the week which i keep on the fridge. So when i am hungry and tempted to just grab whatever I can, all I need to to is take a quick glance at what I have already organised. I have found this is also a great motivation for me to remember my weight loss goal and the hard work I have put in and the work I am still to do to make it a reality.
Here was my yummy Banana & Strawberry Smoothie from breakfast.
That smoothie looks very yummy! Your post really inspired me. I feel like I am just sitting idly by while life goes on all around me. I need to live life, and not just let it pass me by. Thanks for some inspiration Keira.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Keira! I'm proud of you! I know you can do it.
ReplyDeleteWednesday is the start of lent I plan to fast for those 40 days (with exception of Sundays). It's something I've been planning to do for years now but I always forgot untill it was halfway Easter. This year I remembered on time and plan to stick with it. No more chocolate, soda's and crisps and in come the vegies ,fruit and water. It's not so much as to lose weight, but to clean my body. Inside out. If you eat healthy you'll feel healthier and that will reflect on your view of the world.
breakfast looks delicious, keira!
