I have decided this year instead of one big New Year's Resolution I was going to try to tackle smaller and more manageable ones each and every month. If I can concentrate on one goal each month by the end of the year I will have drastically changed my habits. January was no coffee month and I am very proud to say I succeeded! After the first week I didn't crave it anymore and I can actually say I don't foresee myself starting to drink it again. I am hoping that the same goes for February's challenge...no sweets or treats!!! This includes everything from chocolate to chips, doughnuts to pies!
Since I returned from my honeymoon in October I have had a very difficult time getting back into the healthy eating habits I had before the wedding. Add Christmas to the mix and the picture gets even worse. I haven't gained a ton of weight but my clothes are definitely feeling a bit on the snug side. Being that I do have a smaller frame, 5'3" and a half, every couple of pounds is noticeable, at least to me. I just want to feel comfortable in my clothes again.
So I am going to try to kick start that by cutting out all the unnecessary calories in my day! I am hoping that I experience a similar pattern as I did with coffee, I crave it for the first few days but once the sugar is out of my body I won't really want it anymore!
A couple of upsides to tackling this challenge in February are:
1. It is a short month, if I really miss the sugar that much it means I can start eating it again that much sooner (not the point I know but it is still good to be prepared and think these things through)
2. My husband will have to support me on this and not buy me anything sugary for Valentine's day, so maybe instead I will get something shiny :)
So here goes nothing...welcome February!
xoxo
