This week is about my third week of trying to change my lifestyle habits to lose some weight, mostly centering on mindful eating, portion control, and increasing my steps.
I’m in a professional program that keeps me on my feet for a lot of the day, and many days I get back to my apartment and drop onto the couch or onto my bed with my feet sore and my energy gone. The thought of going back out used to seem very overwhelming, and many times I feel I have to drag myself to do things.
Today, I got back home and realized that I needed to walk to the grocery store. It was only when I was on the way back that I realized that for the first time in a long time I didn’t feeling like I had to drag myself the extra three blocks to the store. Walking on the sidewalk, groceries in hand, with my music in, my feet feeling good, my body hydrated and not aching, and not feeling bloated, I just got slammed with an overwhelming feeling of contentment.
Even though I’m not at my goal weight, I feel lucky to have the body I have and to be where I’m at. Life isn’t perfect, but it is good. For the first time i feel excited for the journey to living a healthier life, not just excited about the future results.
