I walked 2 miles this morning!  I am really increasing my endurance and stamina!

I have realized that it is not as difficult to get up in the morning to go for a walk as I made it out to be.  I have found that the things I procrastinate over the most end up being the easiest to do.  But only after I stop making excuses and building and creating the worst case scenario in my head do I really see how silly I am.  It makes me wonder how much easier life would be if I was not a procrastination queen.  I am also seeing that healthy living is not as difficult as I always believed.  It is just different.  Once I allowed my palate to adjust to fruit smoothies for breakfast, grilled chicken and veggies for dinner, and fruit instead of processed sugar for snacks, I do not feel deprived.  Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy a burger of fried chicken more than I would like to admit, but not as often as I once did.  Maybe I am learning to control my emotions and not let my emotions control me.  I am just thankful I have found sources of support.  Most of all I am thankful I have found spirituality again.  Today I feel truly blessed.  (I just need to remind myself of this on bad days when I feel out of control and disconnected.)
