Today I have spent the entire day working. I worked 12 hours at the restaurant today. BUT...while I was working all of those hours, my mind was going 100 miles per minute. I can't stop wrapping my mind around the fact that I now have high cholesterol. So, tonight I went online and googled stuff to figure out what I should be doing that I am not doing now. It's pretty much what I should have been doing all along. Nothing much different than eating healthy.
1. Eat heart healthy foods. -oatmeal, oat bran and high fiber foods -fish and omega-3 fatty acids -walnuts, almonds and other nuts -olive oil -fresh fruits and veggies -beans and legumes
2. Lose Weight.
3. Exercise on most days of the week.
4. Quit smoking. (DONE...never smoked)
5. Drink alcohol in moderation. (DONE...don't really drink either)
So...back to the heart healthy foods, losing weight and exercise. I am nervous. I am scared I will fail. I am going to the store tomorrow to buy a few newer healthier foods. I already have oats and whole grains in the cupboard, but don't really eat them much. Time to start putting what I KNOW into what I am DOING. I have been way to relaxed in changing my habits. Trying this small habits will eventually turn into lifestyle changes just isn't working for me. I need to DO it. Not talk about it. I have a list of things I want to put into effect. A few things each day this week to get this show on the road. I am afraid of dying young. I am afraid of leaving my children to people that will never love them unconditionally like I do. My mind is in a million places right now. I have so many fears. I fear of failure. I fear of giving up. But I am ready. I am ready to make real life changes. Time to stop self pitying on this blog and get some real action going.
