Improvement Needed

I am learning a lot from the book but still need to put it into action. I need to eat more natural foods and cut the crap out of my diet. I have been a little better at working out but could be much better. I have started running at 6 am with a friend every other day. I need to incorporate strength training into my routine. The bottom line is I need to take better care of my body and only put things into my body that it needs. I need to stop feeding it stuff that can harm the delicate endocrine system and mess up the balance of hormones. I am learning that when your hormones are off balance it can cause all kinds of problems with how you feel, your energy levels and how you metabolize your food. If I was made of money I would go through my house and get rid of all the bad stuff and replace it with healthy alternatives. But I am not, so this is going to have to be a process that takes place over time. Most of all I want to do this for my kids so that they can be as healthy as possible.

Rededicate

I got a little, actually a lot of track when I went on a month long vacation. Enough said about that. Now it is time to get back to where I should be. Let me just say that it is not fair how hard it is to get the muffin top off compared to how rapidly it reappears. I do have a new book that my wonderful husband ordered for me through Amazon to get me motivated again, maybe it's a hint;). I have also been put in charge of the fitness mini group at church, so I think that will motivate me as well. Wish me well.


This is the book that I am starting to read. It has great ratings. I will keep you posted on how I like it.
