So something just happened that made me sit back and go...oh...
Well two things actually...I took the stairs to the 1st floor of the Cummings Center, instead of the elevator, and I bought a Vitamin Water instead of my usual Fresca or Root Beer. Granted, I did buy a chocolate chip cookie, which I will be devouring in a few minutes, but the fact that I made two healthy decisions unconsciously is a good thing.
I'm not the healthiest person, I mean I have pretty good hygiene, but I don't always eat what I should, or exercise as much as I should. But then the other day I realized while ordering a #4 off the McD's menu, that I hadn't gotten fast food in over a week or two. When I worked at Autozone I would always stop at McD's before work, or on break, or after work...totally unhealthy...what changed? New job, new BF, new focus on life I guess, all good things most definitely.
Having people around me that are more motivated than I am definitely doesn't hurt either.
So I'm going to consciously think about this from now on, and take the stairs, and drink more water and tea (I've found the joy of Lemon Arizona Iced Tea), and maybe *gasp* start riding my bike to school, or at least around the area when I'm actually in Salem on weekends.
