It's been about 2 weeks from my second varicose vein surgery on my leg and I'm trying to recover and get back into an active lifestyle. Taking a "break" from being active after awhile becomes a routine of laziness. My energy and eating habits are going in a downward spiral and I need to catch myself before I get out of control. Today started out with water and a cup of coffee, yes I can seem to get rid of this toxic beverage all the way but I only allow myself one cup. I then made a fruit/veggie juice when I got hungry. For lunch I ate a raw mediterranean salad Then I forced myself to get on the incline trainer and do as much as my body could and I feel energized and positive! I can't believe that I ever doubt the feeling I get after having a sweaty, music pumping workout. It beats the down-in-the-dump feeling you get after eating crap and not working out.
*Note to self:
Eat crap - no exercise = anxiety, depression, & no energy.
Eating raw, whole foods + working out= inspired, motivated and full of positive energy!
Lifestyle change isn't a "one size fits all" fad diet. It's reinventing your life to include positive things in your life.
