I've been working really hard lately at becoming a healthier, more fit person and tonight it paid off!
I've been going to the gym and jogging regularly....
Tonight I had my weekly soccer game and it was the best game I have played in a long time. I played a game on Sunday too that went really well - but I just assumed I was having a good night when I played really well that night..... but tonight? There's NO putting that down to luck or just having a good night!!
I pulled off a hat trick AND 3 assists!!!!! AND I did a shit tonne of running, because our defensive line was not strong tonight and I was helping them out a lot.... and at the end of the game, guess what? I wasn't even tired!!!!!
I am feeling really freaking good about myself right about now :P

I'm not just playing soccer better - I feel better, physically and emotionally, and I look great!
Ive always been decently active and mostly a healthy eater. But I also spent a lot of time sitting around and munching while watching TV - and no matter how healthy your snacks are, more of them than you need is still bad.
I've been keeping myself busy - I still take a bit of time at the end of the night (like now) to veg out and prepare for sleeping, but I have *something* to do every night, whether it's soccer, work, or hanging out with friends.
I've been getting at least 15 minutes, usually half an hour to an hour and a half, of exercise every day and eating right - lots of fruits, berries and veggies. I've gone through these "health phases" a few times but this time I am determined that it is not just going to be a phase. I feel so much better when I am active and healthy than when I'm bored and lazy. I have a lot more energy, which makes me just want to do more stuff!
