School has started and I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off! The first few weeks of school are always total chaos, I get stressed, and I feel exhausted. All three things lead add up to bad news on the health front.
Though I have to say I am proud of myself. Thanks to my mom, I actually had healthy food choices when my family got together on Saturday. We had angel food cake, fresh strawberries, and low fat ice cream to celebrate. Of course the last few days have started out well and ended well but the middle ground was a bit shaky. I have managed to walk for an hour two days in a row but my food choices have not been very desirable. I have been living off of carbs and not good ones.
Now if I can only get my food and exercise to match up again I will be doing good. Though I do have to say I think I made a bit of a break through in mind set. After listening to 4 hours of "What Not to Wear" on TLC, while working on lesson planning, I finally understood that the number in your clothes don't matter. It is okay to need a size 12 in some jeans and wear a size 8 skirt. That sometimes you can buy a medium but other times you are gonna have to get that large so it looks good. It is not about the number it is all about the fit.
I guess I have put alot of faith in a number. For so long I had always imagined that a size 10 would be my perfect size and wearing mostly 12's has about driven me crazy. Being so close and yet so far away. But this weekend I decided that being a 12 is alright as long as I am active, healthy, and look amazing in my clothes. :)
