I am not much on new year resolutions. I sometimes set goals I would like to reach for the year, but this year I really didn't have anything that I felt like writing down.
Of course like most I want to save money and be healthy. I am not really concerned with losing weight, but I do want to do better on my exercising. I get really slack during the cold weather. Mostly because the cold is really hard on my Asthma so I am limited to inside.
The main thing I want to work on this year are my eating habits. Lately I have been extremely tired and for some reason I think my eating and drinking has something to do with that. I have been so tired, and the reason is I am not able to get to sleep and when I do I wake up several times a night. It makes the days so long, and recently I have been taking naps when I get home to compensate for the sleep I can't get at night.
So I am on a mission to have a better diet. #1 on my list is cutting back on coffee (sigh). I love coffee, I drink it all day and most of the time I drink a pot at night as well. In between my coffee consumption is my next problem...soft drinks! I usually have at least 2-3 soft drinks a day (diet). In between the coffee and soft drinks my caffeine level is probably off the charts. I think that has a lot to do with my sleeping issues. #2 on my list is to start eating fruit and veggies. I hate this stuff!!! I am more of a junk food person so fruits and veggies make me cringe, but I am going to try to do better. I am thinking I have some deficiencies because of my slack eating habits.
Today I made the effort to do better. For lunch I had a bowl of chili beans. For a afternoon snack I had a cup of apple sauce. Came home from work and had an orange and a salad for dinner. For something sweet I think I am going to have a hand full of jelly beans :) So I think that was an improvement from my usual. I also didn't make me a pot of coffee tonight. That was tough since it is so cold out :( I am going to have some hot decaffeinated herbal tea. Oh and I have drank a few glasses a water. I HATE water...so a few glasses is good for me!
That's it...for 2012 I want to change the way I eat :) No more junk all the time, I am going to force myself to get use to eating the stuff that's good for me. We will see how long it last LOL!
