Letting It Go

I did some thinking this morning, reflecting on why I've been feeling the way I've been feeling and what I can do to change it. I realized that my eating plays a really big part in how I feel, mentally and physically. I haven't been drinking any water and have taken a very lackadaisical approach to my eating. I've kind of eaten bad as such, just not as good as I can and have before. When I was doing that, I was feeling pretty good. I can see a big difference in myself from the summer until now. So today, I have put the brakes on that negative approach and am working towards the healthier side. Up first, I need to get back to drinking water, I was up to 96oz and now I might drink half a bottle every few days. This makes a big difference. Have to get groceries tomorrow and get myself some more fruits and veggies. I was given a kick ass blender so I'm going to try to make smoothies again for breakfast, just to switch it up a little. I'm really excited, even these tiny changes are making an impact already. 



Just adding on: Today wasn't a great eating day. I did really well this morning, but had a not so good snack and then definitely something not good at supper. But I got my workout in this morning, despite really not wanting to and almost talking myself into taking a rest day and I drank a good amount of water. So, I'm not letting myself feel guilty for the indulging, even if it's something I've been taking part in a little more frequently. I've also decided not to restrict as heavily as I was previously. I had cut out all breads and pastas, but bread is delicious (especially mom and dad's) so I will allow myself to have some of that. It seems like I went a little crazy when I finally gave in and just ate it like it was going out of style. I have learned from past experience that totally restricting is what leads to failure and I'm not letting that happen again. I GOT THIS.
