My "health kick," as I affectionately refer to it, started on the first day of spring in March 2009. I'm not sure where the motivation came from, but something in my life needed to change.
I had modest goals.
I wanted to control my stress and stay healthy during a very busy period at work. I decided that I needed to offset the stressors by eating better, reforming my sleep patterns, and making more time for outdoor activity.
I had small successes and those motivated me to make further changes. By the first day of fall, I was at a healthy weight, I was exercising about 5 days each week, and I felt great.
Over the holidays, I neglected the exercise, and my sleep habits got out of whack, but I kept up the healthy eating (mostly). It made me realize that my old habits are much more strongly engrained than the new habits.
So, this is the place where I'll keep myself honest and accountable and participate in spidey's "Healthy Living Blogring"
I get days where the running/walking seems more difficult. I'm not sure why, but usually by the end, I'm feeling better about it (probably because it's over!).
You sound like you're doing great, and that chicken recipe sounds good!
I didn't do so well this weekend... I did manage a short workout Sunday morning, but then I ate soooo much at my birthday party... Oh well, today starts a new week!
