I have been taking steps to get back into a healthy groove again. The house has been cleared of all the dreadfully tempting snacks to which I had no resistance. My children have been grumbling about how they don't have good treats in their lunches, but I am ignoring that. In fact, I told them that we need to do some spring cleaning for the pantry and we need to finish off these second and third tier snacks before I buy anything else. The plan is to only bring back those things I can resist when I am ready.
I quit the gym a while back because I was not going. I have been getting a lot of exercise, mostly hike (but a LOT of hiking!), and I much prefer to be outside and doing something to using a machine at the gym. Yesterday, I researched some home weight training workouts and kicked off the program. I am sure it will take some trial and error to find what will work for me at home, but I am determined and motivated to make it work at home rather than joining another gym.
I have decided to cut back on alcohol. I had gotten into the habit of having a glass of wine with dinner (or two) or maybe having a beer or two in the evening. I will limit consumption to social occasions and remove those calories from the daily routine.
I also plan to cut back on my sugar intake, which had gotten out of control recently (see my snack clear out above!). The more sweet treats I eat, the more I want, so I am going to cut way back in hopes of quelling those cravings. I have fruit to eat when I do need sweet things. I have some chocolate covered almonds for emergencies.
I am sure there are more steps to be taken, but I want to rebuild my healthy habits and I will have more success if I don't try to do everything at once. I think it is a good start.
