Thanksgiving day/weekend approaches and I wish you much about which to be thankful. I am trying to motivate myself to continue to be healthy during this time. The holidays are always so difficult to maneuver as the available foods are yummy, plentiful, and always fattening. We lack sleep, then drink more caffeine and crave more food to try to get that energy boost to help with the tiredness, and then we are too tired to even exercise a little. The vicious cycle begins, and we feel awful. Not this year.
I am trying to remember a few rules for myself:
A healthy lifestyle means being healthy ALL of the time.
Eat vegetables and fruits first!
Get more sleep.
Try to exercise at least once over the 4 days.
Remember how awful we feel when we eat junk, so try to come home
feeling good.
Most importantly, the point of Thanksgiving is being together with
family. Absolutely nothing else matters.
And if I slip up, I can forgive myself and start over. There is always
the rest of my life to get it right; being healthy is a lifestyle; a journey,
not a destination.
Safe travels everyone on all of your journeys.
(PS. Our little foster dog Rin has another foster home for the holiday weekend. We will get her back next week.)
Looking together in the same direction.
