Health

Recently, I have been having a lot of health issues and have had to go to the doctor a few times, and while I am not going to elaborate past that on here.. bascially I have been feeling horrible. My doctor asked me to start keeping a food jounral to see if anything can be alleviated by cutting out any particular food or drink. So I have been doing this for about a week and I have realized that I eat very poorly. I used to be a vegetarian.. well almost, I have always eaten fish. But I stopped doing that about a year ago when Erik and I first moved in together because I didn't want to have to make tw different dinners. But, Erik is great, and told me he doesn't mind eating mostly vegetarian again. So, I am thinking I might need to go back to that. (I will REALLY miss buffalo wings... for some reason they are pretty much the only meat food I love). 

So, here I go. Also, I have been looking into cutting my caffeine intake because I am not sure it makes me feel good and also cutting down on gluten. So, here is an experiment that I am willing to try. First things first, I need to figure out a plan for grocery shopping where I don't just buy everything I think looks good, but instead go in there with my weekly plans set out. And, I need to start eating a better breakfast, exercising, doing yoga, cutting down on alcohol, and setting up a sleep schedule. All of this will come easier once I start work again and have a set time to arrive at work. But I need to start now so that the transition is easier. 

So. Wish. Me. Luck. 

Figure it out!

I have been thinking a lot about my day to day life and how I am always really upset when I wake up in the morning. I work at 7am and have to leave my house by 6:30. So usually, my routine consists of my alarm going off at 5, hitting the snooze till 6, then eventually rolling out of bed at 6:10, getting ready as fast as possible and dragging my feet all the way to my car to leave.

I am realizing that this routine needs a complete makeover. When we lived in our apartment, I would get up early enough to sit and eat some toast and drink some coffee while watching Good Day Oregon and I realize now that it was a very important part of my waking up. I have also gotten super into yoga lately and I realize that even if I did a short, twenty minute, set before work, I would feel great all day. So tomorrow, I am going to try it out. 

Also, I have come to realize that my whole work day is so much better when I make my lunch and pack a few snacks for throughout the day. So I need to be better about going grocery shopping and packing it all up the night before. Because, the few days when I forget and I have to go from 7am till 1pm without food, I am a real horror to be around.

So. Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of my life.
See you there.

Happy Hump Day everyone!
