Day 27 (?)

I'm pretty sure this is day 27.

But anyways, Hello Hello.

I had a really good day today. It was day one of my weekly challenge thing that I started. (I know I have so much crap going on in this blog. lol). I drank all of my water and did strength training. I also went for a 25(ish) minute walk around my neighborhood AND my calories will automatically be down because.... I slept until 2:30. I know, that's bad but it was a late night last night and I haven't been getting the best sleep during the week due to my super busy schedule.

Anyways, I have been feeling so amazing lately and I wanted to talk about this a bit because I have been noticing more and more little things that I'm doing now.

First of all, I am taking much better care of myself. I am forming better habits. I take my vitamins everyday, I moisturize, I take the time to get ready for school and actually look nice. I have been taking pride in the way I look and the positive changes my body is going through. Anybody who is/has been trying to lose weight for a long time knows the drill of hiding your body at every given point in time. You don't want other people to look at you and you sure as hell aren't going to give them the chance to judge you for being over weight. Whether or not people actually judge you is irrelevant (and from what I've learned recently, those who love you won't). But anyways, I have made positive steps in that direction.

Another thing I'm just amazed with is my new habit of reaching for good foods. Sure, I did bake a cake today, and I did eat some of the batter, but in general I have been making (and wanting) a conscious effort to eat more fresh foods. Lots of vegetables and fruit. :)

Of course, I'm still doing my affirmations and I'm trying to squeeze in some daily 'quiet time' to meditate and think about all of the good things in my life. And this leads me to the most important change I've noticed. I am so much happier. I go through the day with more authentic positivity than I have in a long time. Sure, I've always been pretty happy, but now it's like I have a whole new outlook on life. A constant flow of 'happy thoughts' and affirmations goes through my head all day. It's amazing!!!!
