Day Two... on a Tuesday

   Today is day two of conscientious  living. I got some pretty great sleep last night, which always helps. I did have some coffee this morning, but attempted to lessen the amount of creamer. After drinking the bitterness of the brew, I have decided that I think I would much rather drink tea or hot water with lemon in the morning. In the past, I did drink warm water and lemon in the morning and I loved it! I recommend  it for people like me that have a hard time drinking plain water, the flavor is just perfect.
   I brought another protein shake for lunch today, and I am actually excited about drinking it. I'm not trying to plug any products, but I would like to say that the advocare protein drinks are really tasty, and much less chalky than others. Today, I am going to drink the iced lemon cake variety. I tried this flavor yesterday and liked it.
   I forgot my peanut butter, so I might have to stop by the cafe and get some fruit. I absolutely love to snack, but for some reason when I typical and not over eat I find eating between meals tricky. When I began my life of yo-yo dieting many moons ago, there was a stigma about eating at all if you were trying to downsize your body. Now, however, I know that eating six small meals a day works best for me. I have said many times that I need to reassess my relationship with food... it is not a reward, or a reason to feel guilty... FOOD IS FUEL. There is also a sense of exploration when it comes to food, you can always try a new recipe (the main reason I have a pinterest).

    I did well with exercise today also. I biked for 45 minutes and watched a show on Netflix. Along with my perspective regarding food, I'm also trying to be healthy when thinking about exercise. I do not need to punish my body, I need to celebrate it! 

    One more day down, the rest of my life to go!
