Healthy For Life – Week 21

This is the last week of May. Next week, I move to 3.12 miles a day. I can’t believe I’ve come this far. Even though I am still forcing myself to go on the treadmill and not looking forward to the exercise, something magical happened yesterday. I woke up with a headache and felt terrible. I was dreading the workout but I did it anyway and when I was done, I was surprised to realize that my headache was gone. I felt 100% better. If you had told me exercise would actually make me feel better, I would have said you were lying but here it is. It really worked.

I’ve also made my first meal plan last weekend. Even though most of it has already gone awry, it has helped me keep certain thoughts and priorities at the top of my mind. I definitely ate more protein this week than I have been. I’ve also been eating a lot of salads and generally nutritious food. I will keep at this until it works better and better.

I decided that I won’t be buying a clothing item for May. I bought some sandals earlier this month and my mom sent me some clothes, I don’t think I need anything for now. Instead I used that allowance to buy some fun art supplies so I can enjoy them every single day.

and here’s this week’s card:

  • So glad you figured out that the workout made you feel better. If I don’t exercise, I feel horrible. You will eventually get to the point where it hasn’t been a good day if you haven’t had sweat dripping in your eyes. Keep moving forward, you can do it.
