Its been awhile since Ive blogged. And boy does it feel good ! I have been busy with myself being a mom, trying out the world of Usana. Even went to a Dr. Oz event, in which case he spoke about the benefits of health. He mentioned somethings in everyday life that I agree. But being a personal fan myself, I agree with most suggestion in every day health.
It was definitely a good experience in a new chapter in my life. At the event i was able to see and hear speak from the founder and CEO of Usana. Got some great pictures. So yea, it was a good experience.
But one thing I still see around me is the importance of fitness. I promote health, I promote vitamins and in some cases. Protein shakes and bars, depending on your fitness goals. But i cant stress the importance of movement of the body. I cant go for more than 2 days with out working out. Maybe it sounds odd, but i feel stiff in my joints and my mood feels altered in a negative way.
But back to my fitness. I undoubtedly have GRRR ! moments when it comes to my body. I am back again battling my jeans. Oh , how i loath that feeling of self pity over a piece of fabric.
But i also learned how to take my mind out of that horrible mind set and reevaluate my food habits and physical movements. I can say with all honesty, that i was over consuming candy, ice cream and chips. I broke my own rule by bringing a bag of candy in my house and i found myself munching on snicker bites through out the day.
I have to admit ! I love FOOD !
But I think I love my vanity more. As i get older, it is a challenge to keep up with the image i once had of myself as a teen. I'm a mother and getting older, this is a hard fact to come to grips with. I also came to grips with the fact, I have a habit of being consistent and once i break for a day or two. This break can last a week or two, or even in worse cases a month. I'm starting to recognize these awful habits and I want to change myself.
So once again, i am back to trying to loose a 1-2 inches again from the waist. To fit my jeans. Ugg! But I also think at this time in my life, i dislike where i live because i do not have the spacey home i once had and i don't move about my home like i once did. I look forward to moving to my next home this year because i want to make this my home fore the next couple of years. I have been moving every year for 5 years and its getting kinda old.
I want to focus right now on my son, he is getting into childcare. My big boy is getting so big and i must break away for the best. So i can work more, for extra mula for us. Im working towards our new home, I also want to focus on my health as well my son's, my education- school starts next month and my blog. I let my attention drift to things that are no so important and i need to crack a whip on myself.
So this past week, I am getting things done. No more excuses !
As far as my food, I got rid of my candy and sweet breads. I have more fruits and veggies in the fridge. I need to cook more for myself. I recently fast my self for almost 2 days and got my bloated stomach down. And I started eating better and working out again. I feel much better about myself compare to a week ago but not yet thrilled. But this is a start.
Here are some recent pictures of myself. ...
