My Revised Schedule

I can not change my wake up time / work schedule etc but I can definitely change how I do these.

I can make more filling breakfasts and bring my lunch to work for a healthy alternative.

I can also make a more vegetable / fruit based dinner rather than a huge piece of meat with smaller sides. I have it backwards with this.

I have been reading about "Clean Eating" and I thinking that getting back to the basics with our food would be a great start. By not having all of the preservatives and ingredients I can't pronounce I would healthier. Most of these foods are not empty calories therefore I would stay fuller longer. I want to get more information and recipes on the "Clean Eating" lifestyle but I think it could be a great change for both my husband and I.

I do have a gym membership and was very good about going at least 3 - 5 times per week up until about three months ago when I fell ill. I have been to the gym once since then but I barely had any energy to walk the treadmill. My illness will not get better if I am not exercising and I will not feel better about myself until I get back into the gym. Even if I only get there 3 days a week the other 4 days I can walk my dog which would be something she would love. The weather is getting cooler and it would be ideal to be enjoying this wonderful weather.

I also started wearing a pedometer at work. I walk roughly 5k steps a day at work which would leave me another 5k steps to walk after work. It doesn't seem like a lot but if you don't get off the couch very often it seems like a daunting thing to do.
