Typical Ramblings, Atypical Nonsense: Mamavation Monday

Well it's been an interesting week to watch myself go through. I made a lot of good choices and I struggled along the way as well. Still had some trouble last week at work getting into a good rhythm with eating - just not taking the time to really think through my choices. Saturday I set a good, strong intention to really listen to myself, to breathe and allow myself a moment so that I could make self-honoring choices. It really seemed to work for me, so I'm going to keep that intention for a bit. Just to practice it and I think it will really help me find my groove. Exercise...well that one didn't happen. I didn't do any intentional exercise last week. It's not like I'm just sitting around or anything but intentional exercise is important to me and my vision of becoming a healthier me. I'm going to make some adjustments to my morning routine so that I am making time for exercise. It's something I want to do, so I want to make it a priority. If you want to read more about my Weight-Release Journey you can find that here.

Goals for this week:

Continue breathing and giving myself a moment to make self-honoring choices.
Make time in my morning routine for 20 minutes (at least) of exercise.
Continue drinking lots of pure water.
Eating healthy, balanced meals.
Make sure I'm taking time for me each day, so that my needs are being met.
Meditate daily.
