I realized I haven't posted in about a year and am going to try to post more regularly. I recently joined a fitness group on Facebook to help keep me accountable. I'm supposed to be posting pictures of healthy food choices and exercise daily. Admittedly, I don't do well at either all the time. I've started going to yoga once a week (most weeks, but not every week). My goal is to go to that every single week. When I do that, I will add more exercise in. For the time being, that's a secondary priority.
My primary priority right now, are my food choices. Since joining this fitness group, I've been forced to pay attention to my food choices at every meal. While I refuse to beat myself up when I slip up, accountability is necessary to keep me on track, especially since I don't consistently update food trackers (much like this blog that I haven't updated in some time). Last month was a draining month, both physically and emotionally. I found myself saying I deserve to eat "horrible food A" because I don't feel good; I deserve "unhealthy food B" because something awful happened. Because I was actually paying attention to what I was eating, I realized I am an emotional eater. Realizing this is a huge step for me. I think I've been in denial about this most of my life. Finally realizing it has allowed me to look at myself overall and that is a very good thing.
