I'm not quite sure where the time has gone but it's Wednesday already. I am flying to the deep south for work on Saturday and am trying to strategically plan for the next three weeks and how to keep faithful to my life style change at this early stage...I feel that my eating and exercise habits are just that, habits, but I know that being in a strange place with strange food and circumstances can knock people off balance, I can't let that happen. Last time I was in Mississippi I swear I gained weight just looking at the deep fried, saucy foods and I didn't really restrict myself from eating what I wanted, and I barely got any exercise but my life was a lot different at that point, just a few short months ago. Hmmmmmm.
I think if I keep in mind that this is life change and not diet it will help. I know that having a plan (which I'm working on) and making conscious decisions and not being lazy will all be important to being successful while back there, I will try and post often to keep myself on track!
On another note,I have quite a few friends who are really struggling through the winter this year. The blue funk is hanging around like a fog that one can't see through. I have suffered many winters like this and I'm not sure I have any words of wisdom besides trying to get as much laugh time in as possible; watching a comedy, hanging out with friends and positive people. Also try to get some exercise every day because exercise releases endorphins which make ya feel good, and although this sounds cliche' being thankful for the good things. What are your best coping techniques for when life is beating the crap out of you?
Have a great day and forgive my spelling/grammar mistakes today my brain is a little slow on the uptake this morning! =)
PS I think laughter truly is the best medicine and an attitude of gratitude can help drive through the blue funk periods of life...as my friend Kim always says "Don't be bitter, reconsider"!
