Taking Care of Me

So this is post number one. I wanted to be able to write, but didn't know what to write about... So I decided I'd write about what I want whenever I want to and not worry about sticking to a single topic, though I'll try to remember to categorize the posts. Maybe a topic will develop as I go.


Tonight I'm going to ramble about health, because that's what is on my mind (besides our imminent move that is). I have been worrying a lot about my health, but not doing much about it. I've been saying I want to eat better but eating out several days a week, snacking, and taking in way too much sodium. On top of that, when I finally get home I tell myself I'm too tired to work out, or clean, or do anything healthy or productive. Not good for the body or the home environment.


I think I have figured out part of the problem. I say I want to be healthier, and say I want to lose weight - both of which are true - but I don't have a specific goal. So I am going to make one. I might not be able to be as aggressive as I would like until after this move, but I am going to be thinking and working on it. A new goal. One that is measurable, aspiring, attainable and gives me a prod in the right direction. Plus maybe a deadline.

I'm contemplating the idea of signing up for a charity run, or bike ride, or something for the summer.

What do you think?
