Taking Better Care Of Me...

Well since the start of the year I have been on a mission to better my life. And I have been pretty successful with that mission. I have gotten rid of people who I feel are toxic in my life...I have straightened friendships and relationships with others. I have been taking more time for me...doing things I like to do like scrap booking, photography, singing, music, reading, working out, etc.

I have started working out daily...it makes me feel better about myself, it's given me so much more energy and it has also made me look at myself in a better light. I used to come home and plop on the couch and flip on the t.v. but now, I come home...change, and go and work out. And Starting next week I am going back to jogging 3 miles daily like I used to. It's nice that this winter weather is gone...so I can get back into shape! Because I really enjoy working out and making me feel good.

If I have learned anything over the years, it's that life is way to short..and you never know what could happen, and that is why I want to take better care of myself. I want to feel good about me. And I want to get healthier , because that makes ME feel good...and not only is working out good for my health, it's also good for my self esteem.

In the last few week's I have learned that it's really not that hard to eat well. I now go to the market, avoid the crap like cookies, ice cream, etc. and go straight for the fruit, veggies, and healthy snacks. See, I have myself in the state of mind of summer...and every time I think about putting junk into the cart, I think to myself "Beach weather is coming soon!" lol and it makes me think twice! :)

And I also want to thank my best friend Mel for two things...first being "Smart Water" It's the best! And now I am hooked! :) thanks for the tip while we were at the market last week together!! And second, for your support! Because without you I don't know if I could stay so dedicated in taking better care of myself...and having you there helping me and supporting me and encouraging me has made a big difference! So thanks!! :)
