Small Steps

Well today was the first day of my fresh/new start.. again. But I am determined that this time is going to be different. When I first woke up this morning it was because Ron had to get up and get ready for work. After he left though, I decided that I was going to try and get another half hour of sleep in. I woke up 5 minutes before my alarm was to go off to the fresh smell of coffee! That was enough to get me out of bed!! No, I am not addicted. I just love the taste of coffee. I ate myself a nice healthy breakfast consisting of grapefruit, toast and some peanut butter. Oh and of course my coffee. It was a great start to my day.
Last night I had decided that if I was going to start being a healthier person then I was going to start walking to work. It's not even half a mile away so it's not a long walk and only takes a few minutes. Well while eating my breakfast this morning I looked at the forecast and it showed that we were suppose to get rain today. I decided to chance it and walk anyways.. even though it would have been way easier to drive and I had that little voice in my head telling me to drive, I didn't. Small accomplishment but definitely something to be proud about. And boy am I glad that I decided to walk. It was a bit chilly this morning but that was okay. The walk home around 5:30 though was absolutely amazing! It was a nice 56 degrees out and it smelled like Autumn! I just loved it and kept thinking how happy I was that I decided to walk and not drive.
However, my eating was 100% on the mark. If I had to rate it, I would give it an 8 out of 10. Not too bad. Definitely can't complain.
So all in all I am very proud of myself and think that I had a productive day as far as trying to be healthier goes.
The worst part about today was that it just dragged on and never felt like it was going to be even. It's not that it was a bad day, it just went by so slow. I am really looking forward to crawling into my bed and calling it a night.
Tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully I will do just as good with my goals!!
