Pondering my habits and other tidbits.

So, today as I was eating lunch I was thinking about food, of course, and as usual going over my habits with a fine tooth comb. I have been thinking a lot about my habits and how they all fit together to make the big picture of my life. How even my sleep patterns, work habits and everything fit into how healthy I am.

I found myself wishing that healthy food was something that already happened automatically when I reach for something to eat. But, healthier food as with anything worth it sometimes takes more work that unhealthy food. I am trying to always remember how much work it takes to work off that unhealthy stuff. I'll have more time for cooking if I'm not so worried about getting healthy. So, healthy eating usually means cooking. Not that I'm not used to cooking, sure I am. But used to making everything from scratch? It has been a few years, more than three actually so, that is a habit I need to get back into. Homemade dressing, homemade bread and homemade everything sure taste better, keeps me moving more in the form of house work (trust me, cooking and cleaning can keep you warm in your core which burns calories, especially during our super hot summers), and it also keeps me thin.

It will be nice to just be healthy and be living instead of having this chore of a lifestyle change to make happen. Having babies and stressful hard times sure did cause a huge roller coaster in my life.

But, I think I am starting to enjoy making new habits a little more than I was before. I have my new treadmill, that has helped just like I thought it would. I have been moving more every day and loving it. I have more energy too!

I am also contemplating cleansing more. I'm not sure. I have added in some raw, unrefined organic coconut oil to my daily supplements to help kill off yeast in my colon and it is already making a big difference in that area. So, happy with that. I need to remember to take my probiotics with each meal to repopulate my intestines with good bacteria. But, I am thinking about having more green drinks and such to cleanse even more. We will see. I will probably roll with that the next few days and see how I do.

As always thanks for joining me on my journey. :)
