Hey lovely people,
I wanted to give you guys an update about how life on a diet and exercise is going currently. UM it’s going horribly! I haven’t been following the plan, because the plan IS HARD. It’s hard to not overeat, and to restrict my diet THIS much all at once. It’s even hard to find the time to workout or plan a meal! Today is my first day off in 20 days…. ya that is telling you something right there. I’m also freaking out, because I have 69 days until I go to Mexico! That is not a lot my friends! Time to really get down too it!
Alright so here’s my list of bad things I’ve been doing:
- Not Exercising
- Drinking TOO much coffee
- Not eating enough healthy meals
- Have not been glutten free or vegetarian
- Not getting enough sleep
On the other hand, here is my list of pros:
- When I eat out I drink water and eat as vegetarian as possible
- I have been eating a lot of veggies lately (around 4 cups which is way more than usual), I’ve been snacking on it way more
- I’ve been managing my stress a lot better
- I have been waking up a lot earlier, but I’m still going to bed too late
- I’m drinking more water
So I do have a bit of a plan. Recently I quit 1/4 of my jobs- this one is the most stressful and I realized I don’t really need it! I’ll be done as of the end of the month! This means I will have WAY more time to myself. I’m also going on vacation this week, so that I can do something other than work for a week AND it’ll be a healthy vacation as well (more on this later).
I truly think that the best way to get on track is to meal plan. I haven’t been doing this at all, because I have been so busy. I think if I do this and prep all of my meals that’ll force me to eat healthy and change up my diet. I don’t mind eating healthy- I love it! I just haven’t had the time, so I’m hoping this helps! I feel like time is the biggest thing for me. Once I manage my time better I will have fast easy meals for when I am on the go, I will have more time for exercising, and I think more time to sleep at proper times! Maybe once I’m rested too I will feel more motivated as well!
Here’s hoping! Any advice would be wonderful as well!
Love you guys!
