I realize it now. This year will not be my pedal to the metal year when it comes to exercise. We have had a handful of sicknesses this LATE flu season. I'm getting used to having 2 kids and keeping them on a healthy schedule AND still focusing on the fun stuff every day.
This, I have felt, has left my health on the back burner. Something I never wanted to do. So, I've re-evaluated. I understand that for my sanity and the survival of my family, I NEED exercise and healthy living in my life. I also understand that I didn't have as much time to dedicate to these things as I did when I was single or just had my Hubby to worry about. This year is about Baby Steps.
Baby Steps to Eating Clean
Baby Steps to exercise
Baby Steps to NO more TV
Baby Steps to outdoor fun with little kids
Baby Steps to de-cluttering my house
and there are so many more.
I'm beginning my healthy living with the Eat-Clean lifestyle. No more processed foods. Smaller portions. And more meals a day. This is not going to be an easy change, but this is going to be a FANTASTIC change. I guess we'll see together how this first year of Eating Clean goes.
Wish us luck.
Once you get going on the clean eating, I would love some tips on what you are doing. As with you, I would need to do this in baby steps so the family will be on board. Definitely interested in how it goes!
