So I am going to try something to help me get going on a healthier lifestyle. Every first 10 days of each month I want to regroup. Clean out my system, add foods that need to be in my diet and subtract some that need to be out. Some just for a bit others hopefully for good. Some times we get off track or sometimes just need to make changes. It is all a process...there has been times in the past were I had gotten so overwhelmed, how could I make all those changes when even the healthy foods were found to not be healthy because of the processing or the way it was grown. Maybe trying it this way it will get to where it is easier and easier and improved more and more. A way to help me get focused and take those steps more consistently. 10 steps at a time or should I say 10 days at time, working towards a healthier lifestyle and better habits. So right now I am on day 2. I can't say I have done that well or that bad. Stopped the coffee drinking mainly for just a time to clean my system out. I wish I could say I have had no soda's but I have had a couple. August the 1st being the day after my sons birthday made it a bit more difficult. I am not going to stop..ha well I say that now. Will I quit before the 10 days? I have before I could again. Going to journal it all though see where it takes me if I fall I hope to get back up.

Not only do I want to work on my eating habits but I too want to exercise more, totally need to regroup in that area. Not going to stop there...Evaluating my spiritual eating habit. How often do I read the bible? How often am I praying? How often do I think of others? How much am I wrapped up in my own little world? What changes can I make? What can help me make those changes? Something of "me" I need to leave out? One of the "me" things I really enjoy is FB. It is something that I don't think I totally need to stop because there are so many good and positive things about it. But I do think it would be a good thing to take a break from, from time to time. It is so easy to spend so much time on there when there are other things you need to be doing. Sometimes you can find yourself depend on FB. First thing in the morning instead of praying first thing in the morning or reading the bible. Anyway so I am going to go 5 days without FB...okay okay the original plan was to go 10. I am only at day 2 and thinking I can't go that long because I have messages LOL I need to answer them. Anyway so this time 5 days next time 10 days. Oh and there is more...how can I make our home a healthier place to live...there is always ways to improve on that. Are there things I need to get rid of. Am I making the best use of my time? Am I having my children make good use of their time? Are they pitching in around the house consistently? So on and so forth. 10 days each month is a great time to step back and evaluate everything and then step forward to a better and healthier lifestyle. I am journaling all this in hope to improve and maybe someone out their will be encouraged with our ups and our downs....Need to regroup, it is the road we travel. Thanks for stopping by...
