I am sad to say that my wellness journey has not started off on the best foot. December 1st was not only our kickoff to pursuing a healthier lifestyle, but it was also my beautiful Mommy’s birthday. While I did manage to start my Saturday with a green juice, my food choices quickly went downhill from there. My weekend was full of pizza, cookies, ice cream, deep fried chicken, French fries, and hot chocolate. Not exactly healthy.
This morning wasn’t much better. I was running late and not feeling great, so instead of making a green juice, I ate a bowl of chocolate Cheerios. For lunch I am eating a homemade chili that in retrospect should have been made with more vegetables. I have a terrible headache and I just can’t wait to go home.
This isn’t the way I had hoped to be behaving or feeling once Steph and I officially crossed the starting line to wellness.
I once read a quote that said, “When you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.” The fact of the matter is my bad habits run deep. It is going to take a lot of energy, planning, and action to make a positive lifestyle change. I have to give my health 100%. I have to be all in. Otherwise, we are going to be having a very similar conversation a few months down the line. It’s one thing to be well-intentioned. But intention with no action leaves you stuck in exactly the same place.
One step and one choice at a time. The previous choices have been made, they are done and over with. Commit to the choice ahead of you, and do not beat yourself for those that have passed by. Focus on one change a week, and go all out with that one thing. Then, add another the following week. Less overwhelming that way.
ReplyDeleteOh, Chelle! What great advice!!! It is definitely less overwhelming that way. I appreciate your feedback, especially knowing you've been there, done that!
Deletesatta king Choose your locations after you see what your subject is going to wear for the photos. These things should be planned out before the day of the photos to be sure that they are not going to clash. If you have subjects wearing bright clothing, choose a muted background to shoot in front of. play bazaar
