I've had a strong start to the new year and eating healthy feels like slipping into a comfortable pair of pants. For so many years, I ate a plant-based diet and took my fitness and health very seriously. So, getting back to that has felt great. Finding time to go to the gym has been challenging, but I've been doing 30 minutes of yoga every morning, so that's a win.
Today has been rough, though. It's been a sad week full of transitions. I stayed up too late last night and was so tired and lethargic this morning. I've always known the powerful role emotions and lack of sleep play in my diet - either starving myself or bingeing - but I was fascinated by how strong the desire was to stop at a fast food restaurant while I was driving back from an appointment this morning. I'm glad I was able to recognize it for what it was and chose to say no and spend some time in meditation instead.
Breaking these old habits is work, but so rewarding on the other side. There will always be good and bad things that happen...having the correct tools and support system in place to navigate our circumstances is vital for success.
