This week Ia have been away from the keyboard more than I would like, I almost feel like I have been going through withdraws. This blog was originally about making better choices and decisions about my health. It amazes me how when you open your mind you realize that making healthier choices is not just food and fitness.
This week has been moving week. Something I have dreaded, stuck my head in the sand about and in general be in total denial about. Last Saturday, we were overwhelmed with love and compassion by our family. We had 15 warm and able bodies to help us move – they gave to us their entire day all their support and compassion. The gratitude we have for their gift of love can not be measured.
Today is day 7 of the move – and we are about done. It is amazing what happens when you do not pack or plan for a move – and then move into a smaller home. We have more crap than any 3 families should have. We have stored and kept items that should have long ago been given away or thrown away. Who needs 4 mixers – you know one might break but 4 – why 4.
Although I have not fulfilled my goal of walking every morning, I have been getting a lot of exercise. Lifting boxes, unpacking boxes just to pack them up to be hauled away. This week has been an ok week when it comes to my eating habits, I have cooked at home every night this week. This may sound like a simple task but one we had not been doing nearly enough this last year.
Breakfast is still a challenge for me, but I keep trying to find ways to do this withoug feeling like I am going to throw up. With the move, I did find my bullet – so I am thinking – buy some fresh and frozen fruit, and start having some fruit smoothies with some protein thrown in… I am not sure what kind of protein is the best to add, need to do some research.
To those of you that appeared last week to help, have helped us this week – I can not thank you enough! You have made my life easier and I love you for it.
