WHEW! WHAT HAPPENED?

Here I am on Day Three of my personal goal to get healthy and stay that way. I am very proud of myself that I have not cheated once on my diet this week and I only missed one day of working out. That was mostly due to how sore I was so I figured it was best to let the body rest another day.

This morning when I woke up though, it felt like I had been hit by a Mac truck! I had a horrible headache and my stomach was quite upset and nauseous. I am chalking that up to my decision to no longer drink any soda. Soda is my other addiction (outside of nicotine).
Additionally, I am putting my body through some major changes that it has not experienced in years. So, I will push through it knowing there are better things on the other side.

As I sit tonight and write this blog entry I do feel a lot better than when I woke up. I did push through my workout tonight. I believe that helped a lot.

I eventually want to get to the point where I feel good enough to wake up and do my workout in the morning. It will be more aligned to how my day usually goes anyway.

I took some time tonight to reflect on some things about myself and life. Right now I feel like the new habits I am creating in regards to eating better and exercising are in addition to my my "regular" habits throughout the day. I want to tie all these things together into one cohesive experience and then it will all just become "my life". It was pretty interesting to me when I looked at it like that.

It has so not been any part of my existence for so many years that it seems like such a separate thing. I changed my viewpoint of it and I am now looking at it as just part of my life. I know as I keep on doing it that everything will come together. I am looking forward to that.

Well, I am off to another adventure. I intend to be back tomorrow to write about Day Four.
