This has to be the 4th time I have tried to write this post.\u00a0 I have been doing several things that keep derailing me.<\/p>\n
I have posted before about my addiction to food and the trouble I have had.\u00a0 I want to also talk about some success.\u00a0 I have come down 1.5 pant sizes and am still moving down in my waist size.\u00a0 I am not working out in any way, until this last Saturday when I started yoga again.\u00a0 I am eating much healthier over all; but I still enjoy the treats or deserts that are my favorites.<\/p>\n
I have to admit that I am amazed that 2 changes I have made in the last year have made the biggest difference for me.\u00a0 The first is eating 6 to 8 meals a day.\u00a0 I say meals, but you could say 3 meals with healthier portions and then snacks like a piece of fruit, a handful of crackers, sometimes snickers bar.\u00a0 It depends on what I have at hand.\u00a0 The second is keeping fruit about a half-hour from other foods.<\/p>\n
It has been an amazing journey over these last 7 years. I still fight the temptation to eat a pound of M&Ms, but the point is I fight it.\u00a0 I hope to finish this year by coming off the medication that I am on.\u00a0 I have a second objective for improving my health and that is getting my bike fixed and starting to ride it.\u00a0 It also means that I will have to buy a tow behind for the boys.<\/p>\n
Now that the weather is warming up I hope to spend more time outside with the boys, whether it is around the yard or on the canal.\u00a0 I want to get them interested in the outdoors, mostly because I had a love for it once.\u00a0 I want to rekindle that love and at least take up hiking and I think mountain biking.\u00a0 Maybe the wife will get a bike and join us boys.<\/p>\n
