TRYING TO GET HEALTHY Community Group

Thought we could use a newer version of all topics we may want to work on. From losing weight to reducing cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, activities to strengthen not just our bodies, but also our battered and bruised egos and self esteem...A place where we can share knowledge as well as encouragement to help each other to grow stronger and healthier. All are...

Here We Go Again...

Starting out the New Year and did stumble across a link on Diet & Weight Management. It was all about breaking down big time resolutions-- like sticking to a diet (often completely cutting things out  and setting yourself up for feeling deprived and just itching to grab a taste .  This in my old way of thinking was failure and could quickly snowball)   Mentioned smaller goals like making sure to eat at least 2 fruits a day or grabbing veggies as a snack.  


So today I did make some extra efforts toward my healthier (and more contented ) ME...


I did have that fruit. (1 with breakfast, 1 later for last snack)   Had a snack a while ago (2 big carrots- sticked up with a smidge of light dressing)  Will also have another with dinner...   so -- more veggies and fruit---     


Portion control too I need to always watch. (Especially something I love. I do better to keep the red light foods out of the house.  )


Did exercises and stretches.  Need to get them in every day to feel better .  


Did not hit the bike today, but need to get that started again. (I am thinking this first week it should be 4-5 times since I know I won't be on as long as I did before. I will have to work my way back up to that hour)



For me any kind of accomplishment is a plus and does help to keep my momentum going. 



Wishing any others who are starting over good luck with their new habits or endeavors.

Good Luck Kim! I’d think that you would eat plenty of fruits and vegetables working in that department. Hugs.

LOL. I do love veggies but don't always have a lot on hand since stbx is not fond of hardly any. It is time I take better advantage of what I do have on hand and bring some more into the house. Shopped and did get a few just for me (He doesn't want them, doesn't have to eat them)

I do have to admit--- when we get some of the stuff in and it looks or smells so good, or we get a good deal on it-- that does help and has led me to try some new stuff as well. :)

Well I did post this a day before I wound up with some sort of intestinal bug. Was sick for 3 days and went from nothing to basically cup o noodles and crackers forever. And toasted bagel her or there. Way too much starch and carbs, but all I could trust or hang onto.

Going back to real food and trying to again watch and make sure I get those veggies and stuff in.
