Learned some new things this week!
For one, you just have to know when it’s too cold to exercise outdoors. Monday morning, it was too cold to run. And Wednesday morning it was still too cold to run. But regular exercise means being flexible with your schedule, so we ran on Wednesday night. And Friday morning’s run was glorious, as the weather had warmed up dramatically (well, for a New England winter). Sticking with regular exercise also means having a plan B for when you can’t get outside to exercise. This is something I’ll have to work on this week.
Also, as far as the processed foods go, I haven’t missed them a bit. I even got some others around me to jump on the bandwagon, which makes my life easier! The biggest difference is that I feel like I am eating better. Not just eating foods that are better for me, but that the quality of food I am eating is on a much higher scale. Which is perfect for a foodie like me! One great tip that came into play this week is the motto “be prepared”. A couple of weeks ago, I had made homemade chicken soup from scratch. I froze half of the batch into individual portions. It came in handy earlier in the week when I was feeling under the weather. Not only did I have delicious hot soup without going through the trouble to make it, I didn’t have to eat soup from the can! Yuck.
Good luck to everyone doing the challenge this week! I hope you are successful!
