Some Changes in Life

Over the past few days I've managed to start taking better care of myself when it comes to eating and exercise. I started making healthy smoothies for breakfast (I've been using the yoplait smoothie mix and my new blender!) and I've been checking out various exercise videos online.

However, today I didn't do either. Instead I overslept, skipped breakfast and skipped my workout. I wasn't really busy either, that was the sad part of it. It was because my husband was home. He's not fond of smoothies (not that I'm asking him to drink any of them) and he most certainly told me, Hell, No when I mentioned getting tofu for my smoothies today.lol So I fear he'll laugh and grumble about my workout adventure as well.

I guess he's in somewhat of a cranky mood because he's actually talking about giving up smoking. I think the earth stood still when he announced that.

15 Minutes

Instead of working out for 10, I worked out for 15 today since I didn't feel like I was going to drop dead from my workout.lol I feel pretty darn good right now. I have some energy which I usually don't have at this time and it's awesome! I also decided to try some things from Actress turned Author, Mariel Hemmingway's book, "Healthy Living From The Inside Out."

Last night I drank some hot lemon water instead of drinking my usual glass of herbal tea. I hadn't thought about it before now, but many herbal teas still contain caffeine.
It's amazing what 2 days of exercise and a little lemon water can do! I was thinking if I can afford to do so to pick up some lime juice and use lime instead of lemon for an interesting twist!

I also want to stock up on fruits and vegetables and start removing the processed foods from my life. I'm hoping the kids and the hubby will be interested as well. I think diet and smoking may be a big reason why the hubby has so much trouble sleeping at nights and is tired 24/7.

So far I love what Mariel Hemingway has to say in her book and what's really awesome is the fact that it didn't cost me anything to read her book. I checked it out from our local Independence Kansas Public Library for FREE! hehe
