Feeling Good

Sometimes you have those times in your life when everything is going well. You just feel good. I will have to say I am truly feeling good now! Why?, you ask. Well, since you asked...
1. Working out. I like to call it running, but realistically, it's a slow jog. But boy does it feel good! Number one, just the fact that I am actually working out on a regular basis makes me feel good about myself. I'm doing it! For the first time in my life! Sometimes when I'm jogging I think, "I'm adding days onto my life" or "my heart is pumping better" or "it feels good to sweat". Also, working out on a regular basis naturally leads me to...
2. ...make me want to eat better. Eating junk is my downfall. I love food, especially food that is not good for me. But exercising and the healthy eating class that we had at enrichment have made me want to eat better. I am starting by changing small things in my diet - trying to snack healthier, reading labels to make better choices, and replacing foods with better foods (white pasta with whole grain, white rice with brown, etc). Okay, so I still have 3 cartons of ice cream in the freezer and my stash of milk chocolate Dove Promises. Maybe these will go away some day, maybe they won't.
3. Keeping my house cleaner. At that same Enrichment night we also had a class about cleaning and organizing, which inspired me to keep my house more clean and organized! I have kept my bed made, sink more clean and things generally looking better. Which, makes me feel better.

Hopefully this good feeling will last!
