One Day at a Time

This is always how I start a new journey to a health lifestyle.  It's always one day at a time.  One day seems to work pretty well and then day two never seems to work.  But I'd really like to try blogging this time.  Every morning before a workout or before Laylee gets up.  Instead of focusing on the gym all the time I'd like to just get outside and walk or start up a running program again.  Although, I'm not sure my back will hold up for the running part.

I just want to feel different.  I can't handle my back hurting so much anymore.  I'm on my feet all day long and I can feel every move I make.  It's literally killing me.  So I'm donezo.  I'm not sure how to keep myself from a downward spriral again, but I've been thinking about some stuff for awhile.  Instead of being on a specific diet plan I'm just going to make healthier choices.  With what I do, sometimes it's just impossible to plan plan plan all the time.  I figure the sooner I figure that out the better.  But that's not a cop-out.  I need to plan better than I do now.  Which is why every other day will be planning days and every other day will be workout days.  I need to find a happy medium for my life where I can still keep my household running, hang out with my daughter, and become a healthier person all around.

I think the Advocare products are going to boost my efforts.  Because I already have the stuff to do the cleanse again, I'm going to go ahead with that.  I just can't afford to take it to the extreme that I did the last time.  And honestly the results weren't worth the cost.  Which is more my fault than the products fault, but that's on me.

I drank my Spark, took my Catalyst, and drank my Fiber drink before writing this blog and I'm sure they're what sparked the idea to write this blog.  I'm sitting at my computer and I get this feeling of pure euphoria.  I can feel it resonating through my entire body.  It's like toxins are leaving every pore of my being.  Healthy food can fuel your progress Sarah.. You have to remember that!!  And it can also taste just as good (or BETTER) than the other crap you're putting in your body!  So that's what I'm here to write about really....  The times I feel amazing because of what all of this is doing.  And the times I feel like crap because I made a decision that lead me to that feeling.  It's not about always making the right decisions because honestly, that's never going to happen.  It's about making the right choices 75% of the time.  Not just with food but with activities.  The more I can get Laylee out running around and burning off some energy, the more I'll do the same (with calories of course. :))

So here it goes.  Day 1 of the rest of my life.
Here are some Daily Mantras to get you by.  Remember that life can be an inspiration if you just look in the right places.

Have an amazing day and be encouraged. :)
